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.

thats a strange one filled up at Morrisons at Minehead a couple of weeks ago showed them the safefill bottle and they said yes no problem with them so it looks as though its all a bit confusing

So, that's put a mockers on the original OP then. As safefill is a portable gas cylinder then safefill must be wrong in what they say as the statement from Morrisons is basically saying only vehicles that run on LPG can be filled from there sites as was always the case. Nothing changed then. undecided So the big question is "Who is Kirsty from Morrisons"

Very confusing. I was ready to go buy a safefill bottle and adapters but might hold on a bit for now. smile

Thanks for the Heads up on Morrison's and Safefill Filling Merve. You are a mine of useful information for anybody who wants to Caravan or Motorhome off- Grid. 

The financial savings to be made using the refill method as against buying a standard replacement cylinder is considerable and over the year a massive reduction on gas outlay is achievable.

I think the post from DD showing the "Morrisons will not" statement might be quite an old statement  (although the email DD had may be recent) as I am 95% sure that I have seen that statement published right here word for word on CT ages ago.

It may or may not still be Morrisons company policy today, who knows? Morrisons do. The club could really help members by clearing this matter up with an approach to Morrisons at above ordinary members of the public's pay grade i.e. by the clubs technical department direct to Morrisons Head Office. It would not be matter of persuading Morrisons one way or the other, just clarifying their current position.

However, much as I do hope Morisons will now fill Safefill officially, as far as I am concerned, a "Twitter from Kirsty" just cannot (IMHO) be taken as any serious indication of Morrison's current company policy.

Despite being a very satisfied Safefill user and advocate (and being very much on the same wavelength as Merve) I do have reservations about this particular thread until I see better evidence than a Tweet.

Interesting thought Fysherman. I understand where you are coming from in that a definitive answer from the likes of Morrisons is the only way to settle this once and for all. Be it Safefill or any other refillable system. We don't seem to have that many people in the Club willing to do as you suggest. I always remember Hazel (who left for elsewhere) from Overseas Touring in the earlier days of the forum. If she picked up a question about concerns about regulations in Europe she was often onto to it as quick as a flash and would have an answer within days. Jean from Insurance was the same. Probably too much emphasis on Facebook to pay much attention to this forum. I know Rowena does what she can but the fact that she has to take the initiative which is perhaps telling.

Yes, I remember Hazel and spoke to her on one occasion. She was very conscientious . Bit of a star really.

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?
