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.

No, can't find anything that says leisure cylinders are exemt but that proves little. They are talking about cylinders that ARE covered by the regulations. I'm sure Safefill told me that Leisure cylinders aren't. wink Its Sunday so I am having difficulties getting a reply. I will get one though and hopefully post it uderneath Morrisons official statement.

Merve, you are being played. You have no need to provide an answer to DD. He then picks it apart for his own amusement. That I find vindictive.

Oh I know Rocky, I know but he’s harmless! Safefill have a vast array of knowledge about the LPG industry  they know more about it than everyone on here put together- even DD! They have had to climb many a mountain and avoid many a banana skin but in doing so they have amassed a mountain of knowledge- if DD wishes to crack his head against that who am I to stop him? 🤣🤣

This is for the benefit of all those who have been reading this thread. I have done some checking and what I have said in previous posts is about correct- a leisure cylinder - it all depends on the quantity of gas being carried- if the regs covered every drop of LPG that is needed to be moved, none of us would be able to go on holiday with a cylinder so the ADR regs (the regs that the world conforms to) recognise this and allow for smaller quantities to be moved without problems or registering for a licence etc. if you were wanting to carry 200lts plus, then you too would need to go through all sorts of rules and regs covering everything from tyres on the vehicle, the vehicle being labelled as carrying compressed gas,  to training and competence of your driving - and the inspection of the cylinders is the same sort of logic, where you own a leisure cylinder and Safefills for example are classed as leisure cylinders, the inspection period is advisory only as its not something that can be policed and its only a small quantity of LPG involved. if you dont get your cylinder checked after say 10 years as Safeill advise, no one is going to jump on you, but for your own piece of mind, you may want to get it done. Again, it may work out more expensive than buying a brand new cylinder but its a grey area at the moment as we have no costings on it. if it was, whats the problem of buying a new cylinder when it has saved you 10 times the cost of the cylinder in rental and gas charges. If you wanted to start renting these things out then again, you would come under the ADR regs Look at it as a way of oiling the machinery so that LPG can be moved about (in small quantities).

Agree Merve.  I was qualified in moving dangerous  goods by road, sea and air.  To move some items say half a litre of some substances we would have to complete all sorts of paperwork and attach Dangerous goods stickers to both the container and the outside of the vehicle carrying it.  Any private individual could load 50 litres of the same substance into their private motorcar and just drive about without any declaration of what they are carrying.
