Refillable Gas Systems

Hope this helps:

Gaslow

6KG - Capacity (80%): 11.5 litres Height: 460mm Diameter: 246mm Empty Weight: 8.15kg KG

11KG - Capacity (80%): 21 litres Height: 560mm Diameter: 304mm Empty Weight: 12.4KG

"After 10 years you must return your cylinder to a Gaslow dealer who will exchange it and charge a replacement fee"

GAS IT

6KG - Capacity (80%): 13.8 litres Height: 470mm Diameter: 246mm Empty Weight: 7KG

11KG - Capacity (80%): 21.5 litres Height: 550mm Diameter: 304mm Empty Weight: 10.7KG

"GAS IT's refillable bottles life span depend on how they are looked after, because we know of some customers of ours who bought gas bottles back in the 70's and they are still working fine.

Under UK & EU law, every enduser owned refillable gas bottle has to be tested every 10 years. We can't change that, its law it applies to us all. We don''t do testing here as its a specialist service, but there are a few companies in the UK that can carry the inspection work. After passing the test, you will get another 10 years"

Safefill

5KG - Capacity (80%): 13.8 litres Height: 384mm Diameter: 305mm Weight: 3.4kg empty and 8.4kg when full

7.5KG - Capacity (80%): 13.8 litres Height: 460mm Diameter: 305mm Weight: 4.1kg empty and 11.6kg when full

10KG - Capacity (80%): 21.5 litres Height: 571mm Diameter: 305mm Weight: 5kg empty and 15kg when full

"As with most cylinders current guidelines require a recertification at 10 years"

 

So you pay your money and take your choice!

After I got intrested in refillable gas bottles, I went for Safefill as it is easier to gauge how much gas you have left and is slightly lighter when full

Alugas

14KG - Capacity (80%): 33.3 litres Height: 700mm Diameter: 300mm Empty Weight: 7.5KG

and the Gaslow Direct Fill bottles (in 11/6/3 kgs) .....same as Safefill but uses a guage rather than a see through bottle ....

There is also the option of having a gas tank fitted.  Some Motorhomes are sold with tanks fitted underneath to free up space for storage.

I have the Gaslow system in my motorhome, which was fitted by the supplying dealer.  Friends have had their systems fitted while at outdoor Motorhome shows. The various systems are usually represented at Warners shows and can be fitted while you watch.

 I'm a Safefill convert, having two of their older red 15l bottles. All will be much better for Safefill owners with the change in the Petrol Retailers Association "Red Guide" to allow the filling of SAFEFILL bottles on the forecourt.

Just purchased a 10kg Safefill bottle.

As per the recommendation that came with it the initial fill of 15 litres cost less than £10 😊

Now been out off grid for a week & decided to take the bottle of & top it up. Found a Shell garage in Basingstoke where we filled up with just over 10 litres at a cost of £6.48👍

Now that I like😊

Just to add another reason Safefill suits although I suppose it applies to other brands too - but I bought mine from Jackson's of Old Arley and they fill them as do Brayford Caravans at Lincoln.  At Brayford I suspect a MH couldn't drive to the filling point but I couldn't be sure - they always disappear round the back to fill mine.  I think more and more caravan shops are stocking and filling them.
