Hi everyone. A tweet from Kirsty at Morrisons confirms that they are on board with Safefill. Filling is now allowed at all their sites. Show the cylinder to the cashier and away you go. This is great news for those who use gas and want to save money.

Congratulations to Safefill for your dogged determination to bring this product to market against overwhelming odds! The first crack has appeared in the dam! Thanks to all those who wrote to Morrison’s to ask why they couldn’t fill and thanks to Morrison’s for approaching this with an open and enquiring mind to cut through the rumours lies and propaganda surrounding this exceptional product. It is a better world today for the LPG user.

Fysherman, the tweet is real! I gave a link to the twitter page so people could see it was real. This doubt that appears to be all pervasive probably has its roots in 50yrs or so of not being able (legally) to refill a rental cylinder! Add to that the lies and propaganda put out by the enemies of Safefill- and they are many and varied, and you arrive at a situation where one just has to have doubts about a major supermarket accepting Safefill cylinders on their forecourts. Guys, I understand this is groundbreaking, it’s massive in the history of our hobby and we have been lucky enough to see it happen. It’s real! If I still can’t persuade you then email customer services like I and many others did when I started a campaign to get Morrisons to accept Safefill! They are very good at getting back to you and they WILL confirm that Morrisons now accept Safefill Cylinders for filling- what more can I say?

Good post Merve, You can't say fairer than that.

I would expect that any caravan/motorhome owner with safefill equipment would obviously check out availability at their particular branch of Morrisons for themselves.

This is another thread where the club, if it so wished, could assist members by asking Morrison’s to give them, the club, a statement confirming that they, Morrison’s, allowed the filling of Safefill bottles.

I think it would be a case if they were to refill one make then they would be obliged to fill all company's cylinders that met the regulations,

Ihave reported the thread as that seems to be the only way that any form of response is forth coming on this website

For your information folks. At 18.45pm on Thursday the 2nd August, I telephoned customer services at Morrisons. I spoke to Asha who put me through to the correct department. I spoke to Matt and explained that confusion was being spread on the forums regarding the refilling of Safefill Cylinders that Morrisons were now filling having accepted them as safe. He told me he would ring and ‘dig deeper’ into this. He has just rung me back. He has confirmed that Morrisons are now filling Safefill Cylinders and that they must be Safefill Cylinders. They are going to send me an official statement through my email so that I can copy and paste onto the forum! That I will do as soon as I receive it. Perhaps then we can move on!! I’ll probably be accused of making it all up after that- wouldn’t surprise me at all. Those of you who are holding back on buying a cylinder- I hope to reassure you in the next day or two so that you can buy your cylinders with an easy mind!

Just been going back through some old C&CC mags & in January there was a small article stating they had a Safefill on trial.

 

All you get from the CAMC is negativity regarding refillable. 

It's like they are being sponsored by rip off Calor.

Really Davesealed?? One of CMHC s sponsers  is Calor.

 

As I have said many times, the road to here for Safefill has been filled with landmines and potholes. they have endured untold hardships to get the product to this stage And still it goes on! I am neither linked to Safefill or recieve any kind of remuneration from them - I do it because its a great product and I want to spread good news

Well Fancy that - a quick check by someone who wants to know actually comes up with a little bit of the jigsaw! -  well, not only has the cylinder passed the trial-, it has also been accepted and filling is commencing! and anyone who thinks of or wants to sow confusion on here regarding the legallity of such a move by Morrisons, I suggest you tackle their legal dept and argue with them. Morrisons will have gone into the tiniest detail of the Safefill Cylinder and will have checked the Red Guide & made sure that St 26 is being re written. They will not have taken the smallest risk with such an important matter!! SAFEFILL IS ACCEPTED BY MORRISONS as safe!! As I said above, I will personally post the Official Statement from the company as soon as I get it. I hope this can help to bring this to a close now and I look forward to the next large outlet taking on Safefill. I said 5 years ago that Safefill was too good a product not to succeed. More outlets will come on board now- its inevitable!

Incidentally I agree with JVB. "I think it would be a case if they were to refill one make then they would be obliged to fill all company's cylinders that met the regulations".

I agree, but first they have to prove that their cylinders are up to the mark. Safefills are.
