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

i assume there is a changeover valve but you elect to go manual;;

i see no problem with your proposed adaptation;

imho gunge is produced from dirty bottles which your system wont have(the alu bottles are relatively newyou commlssioned them)

you might be wasting your money

Still enjoying the benefits of just topping up the gas as required.

I don't know if it's psychological, but I swear that the cooker is getting a better flame.

Toast is cooking quicker on the grill and water in the kettle boils quicker.

I'm wondering if there is some Butane in the mixture as that burns with a higher calorific value. But I filled in winter so would expect only propane.

The regulator is the same.

Well it's even more savings as the gas costs less and I'm using less of it!!
 
Just off the phone ordering my setup from Warren. Very nice bloke to deal with.
I only want to fit one bottle but have ordered the 13kg bottle not the usual 11kg. Means a little bit more gas and saving weight for not having
a second bottle. I belive I won't run out of gas with the way we use the MH (not staying too long at one place) and the ability to top it up whenever we fill up with Diesel should ensure we have always plenty of gas.

Will post some pictures once installed.

First need to get the MOT out of the way on Monaday.
 
Refillable bottles

I like this article, hope to buy soon Autoken
 
Been using for a while just topping up as and when, but in the fuel crisis? last week we were away and with 2 days to go the level gauge was on empty. As I didn't want to queue, we carried on as we do have a 6Kg calor spare. Any way it lasted 2 days including using it a bit at night for heating, showers cooking etc.

I've just refilled it and could only get 18.37 Litres of gas in it until it cut off (cost £15.41). As it holds approx 21 Litres I had over 2 1/2 litres unused. So if I wait to refill at the Empty point, I've got a good reserve of gas. Since it was last filled, I've had a week away, 4 weekends and a couple of odd days, so about £1.00 per day, but it hasn't been freezing like other years. Similar cost with Calor over this period would be about £30.00.

PS. i took my wife's car with the cylinder in the boot, At the Shell Station in Penmaenmawr (where I've filled in situ before) they just looked at the cylinder which clearly states it's refillable, and said OK that's fine. They did say that they get all kinds of fillers for Calor Gas that they will refuse.
 
Working in Pwlleli in the morning, will be making a detour on my way home to get my bottle, thanks to Pete for sorting out the deal
 
Got my 11kg cylinder and bits and bobs from the boys at FES autogas today, £15.62 to fill the cylinder in Bangor, pulled it out of my car boot and started to fill, it wasn't happening, went into the desk and guy came out to help, no issue with filling cylinders he said, happy days all round!!!
 
Gas It System

Hi Peetee

Have just had this system fitted and just filled up. Although both bottles are now full, one shows empty on the gauge - not sure why. Possibly a faulty gauge, I suppose.

What do you think?

Cheers

have you tried to call Warren at FES? He is selling the bottles, not Peetee.

the gauge is just a magnetic thingie. I noticed it when taking it out and playing with it (to get the LED gauge going).
Might be worth taking it out (just two screw on top) and holding a magnet to it around the side to get the needle going

have a look here http://www.wildcamping.co.uk/forums/motorhome-knowledge-base/17197-teutones-gas-install-2.html

Mine didn't work, so I took it off and put it back on again then it was fine.

Hi Bigpeetee
Have been looking to buy one of these bottles but I thought I would chack my nearest garage 1st ,showed them all the literature about gas it bottles but they said they would refuse to allow to fill(black cat glan conwy corner)do you know of other garages in this area that let you fill,and what do you do when you are away,do you just try at any garage?

Clearly some garages will fill other cylinders. This:

And Now For Something Controversial - Canal World Discussion Forums

is a marine installation and therefore HAS to be taken to a garage to be filled up.

Not that I'm advocating anyone should try to follow suit.

yep, that's what I meant. If the needle is on the wrong side of the scale it might not pick the signal up when the bottle is filled.
when you take the gauage out you can move the needle to empty with a magnet and then reinsert the gauge before you fill the bottle.
 
Hi,

Can anyone confirm that the offer of free adapters to full members is still available, currently I am not a full memeber but the offer might just sway me to sign up.
A couple of questions:
1) There is mention in previous posts of a 13 Kg size bottle, how does one order this as it does not appear on the website.
2) Presumably if I order the "Gas bottle butane gas outlet to UK POL ( propane) adaptor" then I can use my existing propane pigtail secumotion device.

Cheers, Brian
 
Hi Guys, Can you legally fill the bottle through a opening hatch, I thought that I had read somewhere that if you have to open a door to gain access to the bottle or remove the bottle from a road vehicle it should be refused by the garage to allow filling..

Dave.
 
The offer is still open to members only.

I've never been refused a fill of gas, at one petrol stn (Shell in Penmaenmawr) they came out, saw it was a legit filling system and not a calor refiller and were fine.
 
How about opening this offer to free members as well then with the extra sales which could happen there might be a ever bigger discount for all

Their rules!! The Fifteen quid membership gives you all the POI's in the UK about 4300 I think, well worth it.
