How long does a bottle of gas last you.

At this time of year when I full time off EHU 1x13kg. bottle only lasts 8 or 9 days.:eek:

Gas heating oven and hob, how about you?
 
Derek,

I dread to think how short a time a bottle will last me with a big fridge, Alde wet heating system and cooking. :eek:

By next winter, I will have a refillable autogas setup. Cannot afford to do otherwise. :(

I have now emailed Gaslow TWICE with a list to ask them to cost it up and no reply. I really wish people would not publish their email addresses if they have no intention of replying to mails sent. It makes them look so slack :mad:
 
Hi Biggirafe,

Have you tried Autogas 2000. They are oop North but have heard a lot of good reports about them and they are cheaper.

Yeah I'm trying to cost up a single refillable tank. The Gaslow site is very easy this autogas site is not so clear on whats required. 1 thing is the hose required they only have 1 hose you can choose so I guess thats the one I must choose.

Any help appreciated
 
i wouldnt mount on my towbar mate i would drill hole in side of van its much safer to put a correct autogas filler kit on the van and there only 29.99 to buy from over the water
 
witch hose the filler hose from the filler to the tank you mean there is 1 easy way round we do out of solid 8mm pipe straight from the filler on side of van to the tank so no need for a flexiable pipe like they want to sell you the way i do is much safer than a peice of rubber reinforced hose there is non return valves on either end of the high pressure side so you only lose the gas thats in the pipe if something goes wrong on the other end its low pressure 38mbar so you use the same hose you have on the propane bottle and regulator in a standard van
 
Good evening Derek - I am sure you expected this reply, so here goes......

With our super-duper Gaslow system (£400 to buy and install) we now spend about £8 a month on gas on average and it has paid for itself in 18 months when compared to the cost of exchanging cylinders. On the other hand, Alan could do it cheaper!!

LOL and Happy travels

Nope, I just wonder how much gas people use because the quotes I sometimes hear make me think my usage is very heavy.

Cost doesn't come into it at all, it's a wee bit like the MPG figures sometimes bandied about I guess.:)

It's another "how long is a piece of string" question, isn't it? If you feel the cold more than most or cook elaborate meals every day then you will use more gas - but the key thing is it is cheaper than living in a house and paying domestic prices! Happy travels.
 
about a litre a day in the winter. Fridge hob water heater and blown air heating.

Hi can anyione confirm this is the list of kit I need from autogas 2000 for single refillable tank lpg setup
Thanks
 
I got mine from FES AUTOGAS found them very helpful if you give them a call. Rather than drill a hole in the van (on the last one I put the filler in the door as recommended by the people who supplied the Gaslow, they say now not to) I made a bracket out of part of an old computer case & mounted it inside the locker so I can remove it when I sell the van.
