Safefill 10Kg

For anybody buying conventional cylinders then Gaslight is by far the superior product provided you are near to a stockist such as Homebase. They are transparent so you can see the level, are lighter that Calor, have great grab handles and use a clip on connector.

Doesn't even have to be Homebase, most Hire shops have a gas compound. My local in the next town supplied my initial 10kg bottle and gas, I just swap it in for another when empty and it's cheaper than Homebase.

Indeed, they are far superior to the old fashioned Calor types.

The Gaslight cylinders are exactly the same as a Safefill but without the refilling bits. Even made by the same company. Again, they are the same as the French "Calypso" cylinders and one or two others I cannot recall the names of.

A well established product you might say.

Morrisons stance could so simply be based on it not being reasonable for forecourt staff to have the expertise to know who are using appropriately designed bottles and who are using the direct fill adaptor on exchange bottles.

Even if they were trained do they want the hassle of breaking their primary cashier role to go and look at what kit you have, given the minimal sales volumes for our use?

Sadly, I feel it is the inevitable outcome from the use of unprotected filling practices and those using clandestine and dangerous practices of filling within the vehicle like as advocated here in the past, sneaking a refill by filling through a window.

It would be nice if the club lobbied Morrisons on behalf of members who are disadvantaged and inconvenienced by their stance. I am aware it's unlikely to happen.

Still would like to see a proper response from Morrisons after the recent changes to the Red Book forecourt guide.

Ocsid, you still can’t quite let it rest can you? What is the problem with turning the pump off until you have proved your equipmentis complicit with the law by bringing it to the cash desk?? Cameras and loud speakers on garage forecourts are not there as decoration. It is not beyond the wit of garages to put up signs and comply fully with safety standards. A car is obvious. A cylinder is not although I have to say that all of us would recognise a rental cylinder at a glance so it’s not beyond a thought that garage staff could do that to. It’s just about training.  It’s the blanket ban on refilling cylinders that is the danger here. Not the methods used to fill a perfectly safe cylinder. I would however be the first one to stand alongside you to denounce the filling of rental cylinders which is totally criminal and dangerous. This practice has to be stamped out, and correctly constructed, safe to fill refillable cylinders can play their part in getting rid of this practice. For what it’s worth, I believe Morrisons will be the first supermarket to adopt the Safefill cylinder. 

Hi Fysh, the club won’t do that for one very simple reason. They sell Calor. They make money out of it and that’s what the club is interested in - money- not helping a section of ‘customers ‘ who will not add to their profits.  However, every single person who owns a Safefill should be writing to Customer Services at Morrisons as I have done and I got a very positive response. Certainly one that gave me hope.  Get those emails off now- it will happen, I’m sure. 

Don't take it out on Ocsid Merve. My thoughts are similar in that if I employed a cashier why would I put the burden of deciding if a particular bottle was safe when the income was trivial? 

The cc do not sell calor gas on sites they may have a contract wth calor to keep the on site bulk tanks topped up

Indeed The Caravan Club do not sell Calor Gas - but Morrisons do!

Sorry Easy , I don’t want to come across as taking it out of anyone - that certainly isn’t my intention but this conversation has been dragging on for months- actually, probably years. The fact is that Safefill is here to stay and more and more caravanners, campers and boaters are buying them. It would be a bad business move in my eyes not to train a cashier. It’s not rocket science after all. There are few gas powered cars now. Keep the pump switched off until someone wants to use it. If it’s a car, fine- if it’s a cylinder- a Safefill is so different to a rental cylinder in looks.  All they have to do is prove it’s a Safefill. After a few weeks, the S/Stn staff would be very proficient at differentiating between a Safefill and a rental cylinder. The more people presenti them for filling the quicker this will take place. It may be small beer on one fill of a cylinder but many cylinders add up.
