Autogas, a concern?

Have done (Filey Service Station) but it gets worse, the next nearest listed retailer the attendant tells me have also stopped selling it very recently, this being (Primrose Valley Service Station). What absolutely astounds me is this is the main east coast road and the length of it is rammed full of touring sites. Now I am getting just a tad angry!

Micky, does your locker hold two bottles? also, do you still have a Calor bottle? if so, why not have the Calor alongside the refillable and swap between the two, using the Calor to tide you over when looking for a refill.

once full, switch back to LPG and save the Calor till next needed...

if things a re changing (in some parts of the country) makes sense to me to have a compromise/backup plan..

you'll still be predominantly using cheap gas, with the expensive Calor just filling in so will last a long time and expensive exchanges will be pretty rare occurrences.

this process will also work aborad though you'll be better served with LPG pumps over there.

Nope, it's an under slung tank, we have no gas locker at all on our latest van. Have I been sold a pup? It was sold to me as a convenient, cheap, space saving system with a readily available network of suppliers of gas. I'm questioning my initial enthusiasm now. It appears to me that these suppliers are disappearing across the UK at an alarming rate,

I don't know where in south humberside you are but the mylpg app shows a few around and the first one I looked at was verified on 1st April (after 12 lol)

The BATA Calor dealer and BP garage in Scarborough a little further north of Filey are the ones I use. 

I'm not at the moment, I'm headed north! Just fed up with the situation, app tells me yes, attendant says no! I reckon I'll soon have to call at every listed station on route on the off chance of finding one which has not taken the facility out, yet! Not good given the experience so far is concerned.

Can’t say I blame you micky for getting a tad hacked off. I agree that the main East Coast Road should have refill facilities. The problem as I see it is that the refillable market arrived after the LPG car trade nose dived leaving rigs unused for most of the time. I know that it costs the retailer quite a bit to keep them on site as Calor and co test the facilities and change seals and such like. I just hope that the refillables  market makes them realise there is a market for pumped gas. I always ring ahead and make sure the service station where I’m headed still has the pump and  is still selling it. I hope you find somewhere soon. 

Cheers Merve, I think I'll adopt your strategy and be a little more proactive in finding 'it'. I'll make sure I always top up whenever and wherever I can just to be on the safe side. Don't think there is a minimum number of litres delivered or charge is there?

Some places we have filled have a 2 litre  minimum, which is not a lot.
