Another advantage of refillables is that they can be topped up before they are empty (subject to minimum quantity at the pump). An underslung tank is another option but quite an expensive initial outlay. Worthwhile in the long term for heavy users because of the cost savings on the gas.

Was told by a dealer, the reason why Calor has done this is some of those smaller bottles were knocking on for 50 plus years old, so rather than replace they are scrapping them, big issue for me as they are the only ones that fit in the gas locker and cannot modify. Problem if you go to LPG and get a tank fitted, costly but a lot of filling stations are taking them out. someone asked what happens, will Calor refund you, chances are no but they will exchange for a bigger bottle.

Exactly. Calor failed to invest and now can't justify the huge capital outlay. Apparently the newer cylinders were made in Turkey but there were quality control problems (one being that newer cylinders were slightly taller than the originals) . . This was one of a never ending myriad of excuses that Calor came up with over the course of 2 years or so.

I work at B & Q. We've just finished with Calor and gone over to Flogas. Only the large propane and butane and you have to pay for the newl Flogas cylinder. Currently, B&Q are giving a 50% discount on a new cylinder contract, and you can't swap Calor containers for Flogas. If you have an unused Calor container and have an original contract form, you should be able to get a part refund if it's not too old, at a Calor centre.

What's a calor centre? We sell calor gas and the local centre closed and did not reopen after covid. We have to give 3 weeks notice for an order and then most of it is not delivered. Butane sells out in two days then next delivery 3 weeks. 15kg butane unavailable so we got 12kg butane which we have never sold, now that is being discontinued. We are drowning in paperwork but begging for gas. Our main job as a calor dealer is to answer the phone and apologise to customers trying to find gas on calor behalf. Its not a bottle problem, it's a MANAGEMENT problem who still blame covid for their own incompetency.

Calor supply of the small cylinders has been hopeless for the last couple of years. You had a better chance of buying hens teeth! I changed over to Flogas some time ago and the cylinders have the same size format as the calor bottles. You just have to buy a clip on fitting adapter for your gas tail pipe. Makes changing the bottle in future a tool free job. Feel sorry for the calor dealers who have been struggling with supply of full bottles and keeping customers happy while tied into a contract with calor unable to change. Flogas even during the lockdown periods were able to supply products with little or no delay. Calor just bleated on with all sorts of excuses of cylinder shortage, covid, gas shortages etc, etc. Really not surprised by this latest move by them, it's a company spiralling downwards fast. If you are currently a calor user wondering what to do now just go to Flogas there customer service is a refreshing change to the negitive BS you get from Calor.

My gas shop told me a few months ago, that there was a huge shortage of cylinders as, due to covid era, there was a surge in demand for camping gas/ alternatives like butane, propane, but they were one off purchases, meaning that it wasn’t cyclical, so those cylinders are sitting in many garden sheds now. They disappeared out of the system, a bit like all those fifty pound notes Kev has hidden in the third flower pot down from the front door of his shed. Maybe, this is why manufacturers have changed the cylinders.

@@Sailing_Antrice We used to have a Chandlery. Calor Gas were basically unable to supply for over 2 years. In our last 9 months in business we had just one delivery despite putting in our standard order every week. Calor work on a one for one swop basis. We give them one empty they give us one full. Unfortunately, they decided that they no longer wanted to supply and over the course of 2 years came up with every excuse under the sun bar the truth. Calor Gas and Camping Gaz was a staple part of our business but by the time we closed it was of no consequence. Had we carried on we undoubtedly would have ended the contract with them as maintaining a cage full of empty cylinders was totally pointless.

Ok so Calor had a near monopoly market share of the 4.5kg and 3.9kg bottle market. Now they are walking away leaving boaters and caravaners with gas lockers designed to fit these bottles in the lurch. They intend to destroy returned bottles denying their use to any competitor. I think a call to the Competition and Markets Authority is in order along with a class action. Who’s up for it? Anyone know a good lawyer?

The solution is simple, carry on using your Calor cylinders, but fill them yourself from a petrol station that also sells Autoblend propane which are fairly widespread accross the country. You will need to buy an autoblend to propane or butane adaptor, ( approx. £18-20 ) and screw that on to the cylinder first, and also make sure that the cylinder is completely empty before you fill it. In the case of the small propane/ butane cylinders, you will fill it with Autoblend propane around four litres which leaves a vapour space inside the cylinder, for the liquid to expand in summertime. I have not bought a Calor refill for thirty years, as I always fill my own cylinders in this way, presently I am using about one fill per week in wintertime, which includes cooking and heating. The cost is around £ 1-70 per litre. which is much cheaper than Calor's retail price. The petrol station where you refill your cylinder will probably tell you a lot of nonsense about filling cylinders being "illegal" if that is their attitude, go elsewhere, there's no point in arguing with idiots.

Same here, but make sure you don't overfill your cylinder, tare weight is marked on bottle. Receiving cylinder pre cooled to -20c in chest freezer, put on scales and fill, it takes a couple of minutes to fill a 3.9 Kg bottle. Propane 47 Kg cylinders are currently about £100, £2.13 per Kg, compare that to the price per Kg of a 6 Kg refill!

If you've had Calor Gas cylinders for a few decades, it's unlikely you'd still have the original "hire document/receipt". So in that case there is NO chance empty cylinders, when they can no longer be used, will be going back to Calor who, to be fair, appear to have been trying to sicken off customers for years now. There is a major Calor depot near me but it doesn't allow visits by the "public". I have a couple of 6kg Propane cylinders in my caravan, which can obviously be refilled or exchanged with full ones, and a small "dumpy" 4.5kg blue Butane cylinder which attaches to my old Cadac. That goes in my car boot. I suppose I'd have to get a 7kg Butane bottle to replace the 4.5kg Cadac bottle when it runs out - but that probably won't be for a couple of years as I only exchanged it near the end of last year and I only occasionally use it on gas as I have other charcoal BBQs including a little fan-assisted one and a Weber "Go Anywhere". But the little bottle with the Cadac did the job when we took a tent over on the ferry to the Isle of Lewis (both as a BBQ and as a gas ring for a kettle and for a frying pan for breakfasts). Carrying THREE 6 or 7kg bottles would be a bit much....

All of those are sold in the same places and you can exchange to different types without extra cost (if you for example need a bottle for your BBQ and have a spare in your moho with the 'moho connector').

Personally I think Calor is a ripoff they are charging double what the gas price should be which is why I changed to gas-it refillable bottles but LPG varies a lot in price from 80pL to £1.30L and many forecourts are replacing LPG pumps with electric chargers. This at a time demand for LPG is high. I filled up at Morrisons and the forecourt staff told me after my fill they only had enough for 1 more and they only had a delivery the day before. Calor charge what they like as they have a virtual monopoly on gas bottle sales

I started refilling my Calor lite cylinders, but got stopped last week 😏 No more danger than filling a fixed system at all

Refillables have a cut off at 80% full it's extremely dangerous to overfill normal cylinders

If done correctly it is safe, it's just most people don't bother to accurately weigh their bottle first to judge the correct amount of gas to fill to 80% and some muppets just fill em up without knowing how much a Litre of LPG weighs, that's why proper refillables have a internal float that shuts of the supply at 80%

I hope the lads have a proper secure storage area for their cylinders, full and nominally empty, they must be stored at least 3 metres apart and 3 meters from combustible material, ie the sheds and at least 3 meters away from unprotected electrical outlets and light sources,ie the lights in the shed. These distances can be reduced by having walls of at least 30 minutes fire resistant construction surrounding and separating the cylinders. Yes I am nerd but it was my job for 27 years. Lol !

@@davidnewby8276 I was finding it harder to get about 8 years ago when my old VW had been retro fitted to run on gas. When I first had it about 15 years ago I had two places within a couple of miles, then I had to travel about 5 miles, then 8 (but in an awkward place so I went 10). I think the 8 mile place is still open but the 10 mile one has gone.
