Does anyone know how these work? Is the accuracy effected by the type of gas in the bottle if the the gauge does not match the gas type?

I would simply fully deplete each bottle in turn prior to refilling them, and see if the old characteristic returns. Assuming that is physically an option with the Gaslow set up.

Out of interest over there were you using the gas on  a heavy demand type of duty, so really getting the bottle in use very very cold?

I don't think so OC, very little heating was required but the fridge might have had to work harder. We did experience a range of altitudes which must have had some influence if these guages rely on pressures.

The fridge's modest demands however hard it was working will not cause the massive drop in the bottle's temperature I was thinking might cause unbalance in the mixtures use.

It would have to be something heavy and prolonged which only IMO could be heating and that you say was minimal so that thought does not lead us anywhere. Water heating whilst a heavy flow is not sustained.

Ocsid has the answer. Translucent cylinders like the BP gaslight or Safefill is the permanent answer peedee. I always know how much I have. - exactly!! 🤣

You know what you have - not what you might get out.
