There seems to be an ever increasing number of outlets who stock Flo Gas and their 6Kg bottles have the same fittings as Calor.

Does anybody use this gas ?

It fuels my central heating and hot water at home. It’s propane. Does that help?😀

As TW says it's Propane. 

There is no reason not to use it if you want to.

The only reason not to use it would be availability. Most sites that I use have calor but have not seen Flo Gas on sites generally

Yes, and have done so for very many years, now I am delighted they handle the ex BP Gaslights which are by far my preferred option. Along with these they do the 6 and 11 kg steel propanes.

Availability is extensive though it might not be via camping sites, it often includes garden centres, B&M stores and builders merchants, plus their own depots. [B&M handle the Gaslights]

Check here if it is available where you might want it:

As the OP says FloGas is spreading.  In our town the main Calor depot has disappeared and Flo has a massive new bottled gas outlet.  Is being available on site that important?

To me it is very important.

The reason I asked the original question was that in Lincolnshire recently I was offered a free 6Kg FloGas bottle and refills for £18.50.

I have been using gas from a supplier I found that was refilling Calor bottles for £11.95 but they have now been asked to stop.  I don't know if it is illegal or just not recommended.

I have used for Flogas 20 years...Butane bottle though.  However the 13kg one I have had and not changed for several years ran out.  Went to the local dealer to be told £45+ vat.  Nearly choked.  

 

Reflects that since 2013 I’ve had a Safefill cylinder....and got used to have extremely cheap gas.

Surely £45 is the price you initially pay if you don't have a bottle to start with. I swapped a 6kg Calor last week for £23.45
