You are right but other members asked for a link for one of these on this thread

but with other adaptors you can adapt that to fill camping gas .
in fact even with a uk gas tank fitting you have to adapt the filling for other countries so adaption is the key.
you can buy adaptors to fit almost any bottle to any filling adaptor or regulator . all available world wide from hardware shops camping shops etc .
 
Here's another ebay adapter for £33.

If you are interested in filling abroad too, this one also comes with the dish adapter which fits many countries including France (see advert for list)

LPG -ADAPTORkit, With VALVE INSIDE for refill Motorhome Gas Bottles in 26 countr | eBay

You'll save the purchase price on a couple of fills.

Every three years, depending on usage, swap your cylinders for genuine exchange ones via the normal process. You will thus get a "new" cylinder from Calor with up to date safety checks etc.
 
best is flogas no deposit on lots of their bottles and cheaper to exchange .
 
Have refilled by gas bottles but decanting one to another doesn't seem to work for me any suggestions
 
decanting does work. if you ever took the road to india you find decanting is very often the only way to get your bottle filled . they do it for you fron the big 45 kilo bottles .
are you trying to fill through regulators or adaptors with one way valves . this will stop you .
i left the gas station in agadir a butane clip on adaptor about 15 yrs ago so they could fill our clip on butane bottles . they couldnt fill uk butane bottles till they saw my clip on to butane thread adaptor . they filled mine and i left the adaptor with them . luckily i had another .
got free gas the next year as well.

Collection only from a dealer in Luton. However, last night I came across this ebay seller offering good deals on all sorts of refills. Collection only from Wakefield.

Alternatively, there's the distinctly dodgy DIY refill method.

Couple of years ago in Trivandrum, India I spotted a guy filling gas bottles with a cheroot stuck in his mouth.

Whether it was alight or not, I didn't hang about to find out!!

Several years ago a colleague was touring Tunisia and got his gas bottles filled while he waited. The chap doing it was actually smoking a cigarette as the gas flowed!
 
as long as gas isnt escaping it cant catch fire . doing it properly only the gas left in the hose can escape .
people worry about filling stations but think how many sparks a cars distributor makes per minute as well as the alternator ,door switches .starter motor . etc .thousands per minute in a petrol station by one vehicle .
 
even when you fill a proper lpg tank or refillable bottles there is always a loss of gas as you disconnect the nozzle .
might be more than in a short hose as it is under a greater pressure .
its amazing as you travel around what you can see.
but care must always be taken by everyone .
