Refillable Gas Systems

I think Pippah is the nearest David. Do you have a Safefill yet and which size are you asking about? 

Hi Merve.  No I haven't taken the plunge yet.  I still have two Calorlite bottles with gas in, so it's not urgent.  I'd probably go for the middle size - it's the footprint that's the main problem with regards to getting it into the locker.  I want to get as near as I can to the weight of the calorlite bottles.

The current Safefill bottle looks to me to be the same bottle, as what was BP Gaslight and the diameter of those is 30cm. The heights of the cylinders is on the safefill site. For a low gas user I would have thought it was worth buying 2 safefill bottles. If you used the refillable as the main bottle and a Calorlite as a reserve I would imagine that this would last almost forever. 

Hi David. When I bought my first in 2013, I bought the original type (middle size) and found the footprint slight larger than the Calor but it has made absolutely no difference to the operation. The strap holds everything nice and secure. I think you need to measure the mouth of your locker, the height and the width. My large Safefill goes in on its side and then straightens up to fit fine- the dia being the same. Once you get a Safefill, you'll wonder why you didn't do it before! All the best David.

I'll take a tape measure with me next time I go up to storeage.  Thanks Merve.

I took an empty Gaslight cylinder being the same size as my Safefill along to see if it would fit the locker of the MH I'm planning to buy. Has to go in sideways first, so any backup cylinder will have to be something smaller that can be put in after the refillable is in place. Why do manufacturers fit such stupidly small locker doors?

You may well ask Cyber- you may well ask!! Hope everything works out David- we may even meet at Jacksons one day both wanting them filled! 

We may indeed Merve.  Haven't been down to Jacksons for a few months.  Due for a trip - getting withdrawal symptoms.

I understand completely David. A good dig around in Jacksons is vital for health! 😂😂 still not as good as their old place but still very interesting. 

Thought I would post the latest on my Safefill experiences. In Wales at the moment (non EHU of course) and as you know, Aileen has been causing problems with high winds. One of the blow up awnings on site suffererd earlier in the week by getting torn. The owner did nothing less than go home , repair it, and brought it back today and put it up- well done that man! However, they spotted us taking our Isabella Magnum down and came over to talk about the Isabella as they are wanting one for the quality. "Who's gas do you use?" I asked at the end of the conversation "I have 2 Calor Cylinders"looking at me quizzically Really? I opened my front locker and showed him my 20lt Safefill. I explained what it was and how it worked- that's another one that hasn't even heard of Safefill - now, he can't wait to get his hands on one realising the savings on gas to be made. - how many caravaners are like him?  just shows you how people are happy with what they perceive to be the normal- i.e.- Calor Cylinders. I gave him the literature on them- He must have been impressed- he called me a genius!! 😂😂😂😂
