About this deal

If you’re unable to increase your storage facilities, an alternative could be found through Campingaz (907 = 2.72kg). We recommend reaching out to a local gas safe registered engineer who can safely advise on any changes required to your gas cylinder set up.” said the spokesperson. The regulators for the above cylinders (Calor Butane, Calor Propane, and Campingaz) require an 8mm gas hose. Has anyone looked into the practicalities or pricing of switching to a French gas supplier eg Primagaz ? Since disposable gas cylinders are more expensive to use than refillable cylinders you may as well just go out and have a takeaway when camping in Europe.

Please note that Propane gas cylinders contain considerably greater pressure than Butane cylinders and as a result, regulators are designed for use with either Propane or Butane and are not interchangeable because of their different design pressures and the different connections on the cylinder itself. Can I suggest we use the Calor complaints form to get them to reconsider, stating the reasons why this is A Bad Thing https://www.calor.co.uk/complaints I think what I require is a 21mm to bulkhead clip on adaptor? This would then attach to the Butane pigtail which goes to the bulkhead regulator. It's CERTAINLY not without risk, which convenience/profits of Calor aside, is not something to dismiss too lightly. As with many things, all well whilst it works OK, BUT a need to consider what happens when it goes wrong!If you change from Calor Butane to Campingaz Butane you will need to change the regulator to a Campingaz regulator. See Buying a new regulator. The expansion ratio of LPG is 1:270. This means that one litre of liquid, if vaporised, will occupy a volume 270 times greater than one litre of its liquid state. That's 270 litres of neat gas!

You can get adaptors to fit the 27mm clip on coupling (with 'Butane' outlet thread) so you can use your existing Propane pigtail. Personally, I'd rather just buy a new compatible Butane pigtail, that reduces the number of potential leak points and gets you a fresh hose good for 5-7 years safe use. Calor Gas is advising customers with 4.5kg butane cylinders to switch to a 7kg bottle. A new regulator will be needed

As many welders & lpg users in the trade know, a qualified person is only allowed legally to refill lpg cylinders as unlike lpg vehicles these simple cylinders have no PRD (Pressure Relief Device) & many lethal problems can arise from "overfilling".

Spring, autumn and especially winter campers need propane or at least a propane/butane mix on cold days. The existing 907 Campingaz cylinders (they are discontinuing 901 and 904 cylinders to concentrate on automated 907 refilling) are not designed to use a winter propane/butane mix. The use of Campingaz 907 is not therefore a substitute for the loss of small Calor Gas propane cylinders.

Important Info

I know it is possible to refill a calor bottle as described but it is not legal. Only Calor can legally refill a Calor bottle. At the end of January 2023, Calor Gas Ltd told its distributors without prior warning that from the 01 February 2023 it would discontinue its Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 4.5kg Butane, 6kg Lite Propane and 12kg Butane cylinders. This means that Calor customers won’t be able to buy new cylinders or exchange existing cylinders of these sizes for a refill. My caravan is exceptionally nose heavy in it's bare (MIRA) state (actually exceeds the caravan chassis limit by about 10Kg!), I struggle to get my nose weight down to the car/towbar figure with a single steel 6Kg, absolutely no scope for multiple or larger cylinders, I've gone over to the Flogas Gaslight 5Kg which eases the task. With some judicious loading I could possibly push to 2 of those with a little 'stretching' of actual nose weight when the cylinders were full. Nose weight is a far bigger issue for me than losing payload, meagre as that is!
