I do not wish this thread to deteriorate into a debate about Safefill Cylinders and the whys and wherefores of various other makes. This is not a promotion of any product.  So please, if you are not a Safefill User, (unless you wish to assist your fellow campers, Motorhomers and caravanners which would be very welcome!) do not comment. This thread is about the effort by the ‘Leisure public’ who use Safefill cylinders to increase the chances of more fill points which can only be a positive move. Morrisons moved to facilitate Safefill after I suggested we all write to them and ask about filling a perfectly legal cylinder. People power does work and it can be a powerful force when applied. Can anyone who uses, or is about to purchase a Safefill, or would like to see fill points open up nearer to them or just simply wants to help their fellow caravanners-  please take 5 minutes to email the following Service Station Groups about filling Safefill cylinders now that the Red Guide has been amended to encompass them and Morrisons have allowed their filling.  You will get the details from the web.  I have only chosen 2 at the moment- more will follow. If we do this as a group, we can change minds as we did with Morrisons. The first is Penny Petroleum which is based in the north of England and has 42 sites I believe. They are on Twitter so that’s another way of contacting them and applying gentle pressure! The second and much larger concern is Euro Garages Group. Please help. Safefill are too small to get out there and visit everyone but they are doing their best I can assure you. Can you please post when you have sent your communication and  any results you receive to the thread Thank you so much . We need those fill points!

You would come under my definition of Having to be nuts to buy one.   We go on a 4/5 night Rally at new year, no Ehu we will go through at least 10kg then.   Btw the Safefill bottle and the gaslight bottle look to me to be identical apart from the colour.

Hankinbush, if you feel you can help this appeal I would ask you to email the two Garage groups in the OP andd ask to fill Safefill cylinders. These  have already be passed for filling on forecourts. In anticipation, thanks for you help.

Sorry I’ve been such a long time coming back on but I’ve been so busy ringing and sending emails to all those people including Morrisons, Safefill and a host of others who have obviously got it wrong. Thank goodness DD is on the ball. Phew! , dodged a bullet there! He’s not seen it so it can’t be true!! And all he has to do is pick up the phone a press 11 keys. Has anyone got any results?

Sarcasm is said to be the lowest form of wit Merve, but I'm pleased to have been able to help wink.  Of course the club technical team agree with me with Ro passing on virtually the same message as me; are they wrong also?  You seem to be in denial.
