The instructions for doing this are below
HOW TO FILL A GAS BOTTLE
The bottle needs to be removed from the vehicle!
(Note 2 Ltr of gas =1kg)
First you need to weigh the bottle.(An empty 6kg gas bottle is around 8-9kg)
The empty bottle weight is know as the TARE WEIGHT!
When you have established the weight this tells you how much gas is in the bottle
i.e. when it's full it should be around 14kg
Half full around 11kg
Empty 8kg
Now to the filling
First make sure the valve is turned off on the bottle!
Fit the adapter to the bottle and tighten.
Now open the bottle valve.
Now connect the filling hose to the adaptor/bottle.
(Note upon connection to your bottle you will hear gas entering the bottle without doing anything this is what is left in the hose from the previous user!)
Now press the button on the filling pump to deliver the gas keep it pressed till you reach 12lts (don't worry if you go slightly over or below!)
Now turn off the valve on top of your bottle.
Remove the filling hose
(Note again a small amount of gas will be released!)
Now you can remove the adaptor from you bottle.
Your bottle is now full and ready to be put back onto your motorhome ensure tightness and spray test joint after turning back on.

I have light weight bottles where you can see how much gas is in it. I have such an adaptor, but still I'm a bit hesitant to do this.

nikola georgiev this is technically illegal in most of Europe. To be legal the bottle needs to be fitted to a vehicle with a valve that stops it being filled beyond 80%.

Some of us mere mortals have had proper training in filling gas bottles by LPG suppliers. When done correctly the dangers are minimal and are catered for in the procedure. Please do not assume that everyone outside of "the industry" is ignorant of correct procedures.

I saw somwhere on KZfaq where the filling station staff actually loaned you an adapter so that you could do it. Can’t remember where it was but I think if you are very discreet nobody would know that you were filling bottles and not your vehicle. If you were doing it both it might be a bit more convincing though .

Is this not illegal in the uk to fill a calor gas bottle by end users?

@paulfinglas1305 6 жыл бұрын

WaschyNumber1 Hi no it's not illegal but some garages won't allow you to do it It's impossible to blow a bottle up at worst you can overfill it that will result in just liquid coming out of the valve. If that ever happens take it to a wide open space obviously outside and vent off till just gas comes out. If you follow the instructions this should never happen. You need at least 20% of air in your bottle for the gas to form.

@@paulfinglas1305 bit late to the party but overflowing a gas bottle is one of the worst things to happen. True it may not be any danger to the person filling it up but gas is heavier than air, so following physics all that highly flammable gas will be going down the sewers just waiting for a gas build up. I always get mine refiled by calor because it basically costs the same and they replace your bottle with one that's been safety checked. But each to their own as long as you stay safe

No 80% cut off, no gloves to protect against cold burns, working on weight only, in a word “ NO “. Good luck in finding a station that allows you to refill. Almost all will simply not allow it, toooooooo dangerous.

Its illegal to fill lose bottles on the forecourt in the UK. (and most other countries) Garages will freak out if they catch you doing this. You can be banned for life using that service station. Don't even think about using this method to fill from the boot or back seat thru the window unless you have a death wish cos i seen it done too. Regulations state only vehicles with permanent LPG system installed are permitted to be filled like LPG cars. motorhomes and RV's with a proper external body fill point.

Exactly tonytca. The LPG pumps are only designed for use on LPG powered vehicles only, and it states on the safety signs that refilling gas bottles is strictly prohibited. By law, refilling gas bottles can only be done by an approved gas handler at a gas site.

Funny because at the petrol stations in the UK, it says in the safety signs that the filling of gas bottles are strictly prohibited. How did you get away with this?! :O Take my advice, if you have to refill a gas bottle, only have it done by an approved gas handler at a gas yard.
