Change to refillable gas in 10 mins totaly legal and legit Offer to Wildcamp members

I got fed up constantly supplying Calor with lots of money for a small amount of gas.

I was tempted to buy a gas refill adapter, and whilst confident in the use of such an appliance was always worried about insurance and petrol attendant issues.

I looked at all the alternatives and after a meeting with Gas-It have arranged a discount for Wildcamping FULL MEMBERS ONLY

GAS IT Refillable Leisure Gas Tanks Solutions & Solar Energy Products for Motorhomes and Caravans by FES Autogas Ltd

Firstly my claim of refillable in 10 mins:

I measured my gas cabinet and found that I could get an 11Kg Gas-It bottle in the same space as my existing 6Kg Calor.

I ordered the 11Kg bottle with an indicator, on bottle fill bayonet with 80% cutoff and a vapour tank to regulator adapter.

As a member of Wildcamping I also received FREE a set of adapters, French/Italian to UK and an Acme to Uk all in a nice bag to keep them warm and safe. In addition they also bundle a can of gas leak detector.

P&P is free to mainland UK.

The Bottle fill bayonet and regulator adapter are fitted by them in the factory so all you have to do is disconnect your old gas bottle, remove and replace with the Gas-It bottle, refix regulator and you're ready to go and get filled. I've left my old 6Kg bottle as standby just to see if I need it.

10 mins: this included unwrapping, photos and installation

Full Members can get the add ons of adaptersx2, bag and gas leak for free if they order at least 1 bottle or tank. To do this they must Private message me for a code to get the freebies.

Obviously this is my solution to my problem, they have all the usual gas connectors to be installed in the bodywork and can work to give you a solution for you.

The cost? A total of £145.68 including P&P

I've a little of minor jiggling so that the regulator doesn't have such a tight fit, but it did start pouring down and I ran inside!!

NB. I have nothing at all to do with Gas-It but have tried to get additional benefits for the members of this fraternity!!​

Hi Peetee,

This sounds really good, thanks for posting it, but just a couple of questions.....

I read that self refillable bottles were a no-no.. safety issues etc.. Have these gone beyond those problems?
Do the adapters work in Spain?....
Are they legal/acceptable in the EU?

Cheers

This is NOT a calor refiller.

Gas-It bottles are the same as Gaslow and are designed to be refilled. All perfectly legal and above board.

I chose the filler to be attached to the bottle for personal reasons, but also because it makes it so easy.

You can of course have a filler to fit in the side of the bodywork, different size bottles, multiple bottles, underfloor tanks etc, but whatever bottle/tank you buy if you are a Full Member of this site then you get the gas adapters and leak detection spray free (Worth about £26)

I believe the adapters cover most of Europe

The bottles and tanks have an automatic cut off at 80% and are totally UK & European approved

To justify the cost of my bottle, if you get a Calor 6Kg bottle it costs about £20 for a refill, the same amount of LPG autogas costs about £11 saving £9 a time. I use about 15 6Kg per year. So it's paid for itself in a year, can be relocated to another van or sold very easily. No brainer.

I reiterate, I've got nothing to do with Gas-It, but have tried to get a good deal.

By having a quick remove bottle, I can use it on my BBQ at home (I'm tight fisted) not every ones choice but saves money on gas, esp if you BBQ a lot!!
 
You can get an adapter for the GasIT bottles to fit an external filler point

Thanks for the extra info and reassurance! This sounds like the way to go.. I'll be on it ASP.. Pity I've just moved from Anglesey to England, otherwise I could've nipped round to Pen-y-Groes today... Ah well...LOL.....

Cheers

Disappointed now that I've just fitted Gaslow! Especially as they do tanks that fit under the van on the chassis therefore giving you storage in the old gas locker.
 
Ordered and on its way yea :)) i went for the 13kg bottle

cheers Pete great offer

At least it's free P&P, mine came next day.
 
Just for anyone who has not got the cash for refillable systems.

I have one refillable and one standard 11 kg bottle. It is not worth the cost of fitting a second Alugas refillable because I can buy an exchange 11 kg bottle for around £18 (6 kg around £13 or £14).

The cost is low because I go to a local Energas Main Depot for the exchange bottle. If there is one of these main distribution depots near you (of any make, not just Energas) then do the same as me.

What size was your gas cabinet? Looks a similar size to mine coz I'd like to do the same. Does anyone know how to get a refund on a calor bottle? And , excuse my ignorance, but am I right in thinking you just top these up at a filling (petrol) station at the LPG pump?
 
Hi Russtic

The clear door opening is 550x325mm ie the narrowest opening

The gas box goes 50mm below the door lip and 50mm above the lip. the sides extend 30mm each way from the opening.

With the bottle in place I've got 100mm from top of bottle assy to top of cabinet.

My vehicle is a Swift Kontiki Fairline 2001

Yes, you fill from the LPG pump.

I advertise my bottles on Ebay, usually get about £5 for them
 
It's a gas

Hi Big PT

Sounds good, we have been looking around for some time for some sort of system after touring Europe last year and needing adaptors for other countrys too Please keep us updated on your system. Just signed up for their email news letter thanks.

Filled it up today at Morrisons in Rhyl, no problem with filling (after reading instructions on how to do it) got to about 26L and cut out as it should.

Gas came out of cooker rings, made a cuppa, it works!!

I did leave the gas cupboard slightly open while I paid in case of any gas from refilling but it wasn't a problem.
 
Well used it over Fri/Sat and just works as you would expect.

Very happy
 
just back from a few days away, worked great filled easy once sussed it out ;)) great buy well chuffed
 
would I be right in thinking there is an automatic changeover valve with the cuurent arrangemnt
channa
