LPG Gas filling stations

In the light of a recent thread about the apparent closure of LPG pumps at filling stations I came upon the idea that we could start a list whist filling my new safe filll cylinder (other makes available).that it would not be a bad idea for those of us who have found filling stations that are still selling LPG to post them on here.

So here is my contribution to start the ball rolling.

The winning post, A38 Northbound, Halcon Hill, Devon EX6 7XS.

Paid 59.9p per litre

Hope this will become useful. Maybe a moderator might light to put a sticky thing on this as well.

Yes it is the same company Micky. Unfortunately, they don’t sell LPG at Mappleton which is virtually on my doorstep but Sproatley’s not that far away. At one time a lot of the Police panda cars ran on lpg and they had a good business going but I don’t think they do anymore. Hope they continue to provide the service.

Hi
I have now created a spreadsheet & map to list LPG stations that allow filling of refillable bottles. Hopefully any stations that have been mentioned on this discussion and on the other LPG one are now on there!.
Will be great if anyone can part with their knowledge regarding the filling stations that have filled bottles etc if they would post them on the new discussion or there is a form which can be filled in.

Come on there must be more than 35 filling stations in the UK that will fill Safefill, Gas IT, or Gaslow bottles. Hardy inspiring me or others to invest in a refillable if it can't be refilled!
Grateful for some details to add to the map & spreadsheet or fill in the form

Has any one seen that Flogas do a "Gaslight bottle" I guess for rental looks like the last Safefill version with a green top!

I think you will find that Flo-gas through their Mac-gas operation acquired from BP that Gaslight product here in the UK, when BP moved away from that sector.

With the "issues" Homebase have been going through Gaslights seems thankfully now to be more available. It appeared for some time exchanges were only available at Homebase and the original retailers of BP Gaslights, but now I have found Flo-gas and its dealers can retail their own product.

I have filled a Safefill at a couple of different garages since I acquired it but I did not ask beforehand. I just went ahead and filled it. With the bottle being in the locker which is situated at the rear offside, I doubt that their CCTV could ascertain whether it was a standalone bottle or a "plumbed-in" system. Whether a prior request would have resulted in refusal, I can't say.

For the record, the garages in question are Shell, Titchfield. PO14 4BB and Texaco, Winterbourne Stoke. SP3 4SZ

Cyberyacht the two stations you mention are on the list and map but the Texaco one seems to be Murco now, thanks.

Shell station 7 miles south of the Clumber Park Site on the A614. NG22 9DT.

Was that recent Steve. They refused to let me fill my Safefill when I first got it 3/4 years ago.

Alternative not too far away:

Welbeck Sevice Station.

Netherfield Ln, Meden Vale, Mansfield NG20 9PA

 

One near Lowdham Caravans Nottingham:

Lodge Farm Leisure,

Lodge Farm, Lowdham Rd, Gunthorpe, Nottingham NG14 7ES

Easy to drive past and miss it as it is down a drive between houses.
