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.

Yes, but the point here TW is that the 47kg cylinders would not be classed as 'Leisure Cylinders' and therefore would be subject to the 10 or 15 year inpection.

So you’re saying it’s the size irrespective of use? That rather makes exempting ‘leisure’ cylinders a misnomer. 😶

Just recently I've been looking at Calor prices and I'm certain I've seen a website with leisure and commercial bottles with a different price structures. There was considerable overlap. Needless to say I can't find it again.

IIRC the 4.5 butane was on both lists but the 3.9 propane was not. There was about £2 difference in price even with VAT included.

It may be that the end use is the defining factor.

Calor claim to inspect all bottles before refilling so it doesn't matter whether it's for leisure or not. I think it's unlikely that a refillable of any type would be anything other than a leisure cylinder

No, not quite. Certainly the size is a factor but its use is also a factor. Is a flat roofer using a safefill cylinder going to have his cylinder tested every 10 years? mmm?I would say yes as he is using it for commercial purposes and comes under the regs. My 5 year old leisure cylinder looks brand new but the cylinder in the back of a roofers truck might not, indeed it wouldn't be treated in the same way would it? perhaps that has something to do with it? I am trying to get a definitive answer to this.

Well this is great news. We bought our Safefill Cylinder finally at Christmas. I took ours to a Gas Centre in Devizes yesterday who filled it for me, they were also a Calor agent and the refill cost less than £9. That's our 4th fill since Christmas and I suspect we will need another just pre Christmas.

I'm delighted we chose Safefill, their customer service has been 1st class and whilst there are other alternatives available, I didn't find as much information as readily available other than gaslow which just didn't really appeal.

Ah, Thanks DD, Safefill must be wrong then. Oh, hang on though, What does ISO11623;2015 specify?
