Morrison’s now accepting Safefill

Ocsid. I am mortified! Having not checked the thread for over 24hrs because of 6 grandkids running me into the ground - the comment 'Here we go again' was in no way directed at you. It was directed at those who had already covered the point earlier in the thread and I found myself going over it again - so if you thought I was getting at you, I wasnt and I was merely trying to  reassure you that the retesting of cylinders wasnt applicable to Leisure Cylinders so please accept my apologies if I mistakenly caused you any anxiety.

I see now though that the attack is no longer on whether Morrisons are on board with Safefill, I think Johnny has nailed that with his last post which it would appear anyone could have got hold of if they had wanted to-  and it will definitely be put to bed when I reproduce the Official Statement from the company,-  no, its now we are sitting on a timebomb!! and talking about 5 yrs when Safefill themselves have said 10 years and thats only advisory! what utter tosh if I may say without being abusive, is it really being suggested that these things are suddenly going to explode or could suddenly explode? again, we see the lack of knowledge regarding the material used for the cylinders and all the safety and explosive tests these things have been through. Its almost anything to frighten people- particularly newbies off buying a Safeill and it isnt right!!!  Any form of attack against Safefill has been used on this thread and now we have entered the world of make believe. I thank Fysherman for his kind comments regarding my character. I am not one that comes onto this forum with a bunch of half cocked and flawed tales. He and I hope others have got to know that over the years, I will always, if a genuine mistake has been made, retract the comment and apologise, Im not too big for that!  The information I give is , as far as I can research it, truthful and factual, as indeed has now been proved from that OP so so long ago! The information I give about Safefill will always be spot on. I hope that we can all get some sleep now and not worry that the front end of our vans are going to be missing in the morning having been taken out by a cylinder! I take it Fysh that when you said they were built like tanks you were referring the the military type? because yes they're built like.......Tanks!

no, its now we are sitting on a timebomb!! and talking about 5 yrs when Safefill themselves have said 10 years and thats only advisory! 

Merve, back in the 90’s early 2000’s I worked at a Government establishment that developed the method of spinning high pressure vessels from various fibres and materials.  I can confidently say I have forgotten more about the construction of such “tanks” than most will know.  The technology we developed for extreme military use was fed into industry and is now widely used.  If the legal advice is that tank made from composite materials should be checked after only five years then it is for a very good reason.  As you have repeated many times the Safefill advice of 10 years is only advisory and you think it has no weight in law.

Out of interest, can anyone define what a leisure cylinder is? A gas cylinder is a gas cylinder and no on can know what it’s intended use is.

Cheers, Merve.

I’m sure we’ve all seen tarmac boilers and so on using the same size bottles as we use whilst static holiday caravans used for leisure have the tall bottles. An enigma. 🤔

It would be interesting to know if "leisure" in this context  involves use where the leisure facility is hired out?

Whilst still being surprised at being told there is no regulations re testing or the time scale in our private use, to transfer this lack of regulation across to the whole "leisure" market where people are paying say to hire a cabin, astounds me further.
