Weigh it? What with bathroom scales?

Yes. Weight yourself first, then weigh yourself holding the cylinder. Check against weights shown on cylinder. Of course the bathroom scales accuracy will affect the result. When we weigh 20-23kg suitcases we generally get within 1 kg of the suitcase weight as recorded at baggage check-in.

Weigh it? What with bathroom scales?

In my case using a couple of digital luggage scales.

Whist way off the weight of a full 6 kg bottle I have checked the accuracy of with a 5 litre container of water.

Weigh it? What with bathroom scales?

You can use bathroom scales, luggage scales, fishing scales..............& many other types of scales (not to be confused with fish scales )

But unless you can prove it's under filled at the moment and point of purchase, then its going to be difficult proving it was supplied light, on returning, along with it's likely to also involve you in some costs.
With Gaslights they come sealed, making things easier.

Nor am I as they simply could not, its all the same Propane and even if you ran it on Butane I don't think in a month of Sundays they would, nor probably could make that an issue.

As you will need to change the regulator from the patio gas connection to either butane or propane, I guess that is the way they will know?

The only thing I weigh with bathroom scales is the caravan,not much bothered about weighing anything else 😄

You must have a very small caravan if you can weigh it on your bathroom scales.

I fit a 10kg and 5kg gas-lite (Flowgas) in the side locker on my Unicorn S3 Vigo. If the locker is the same size - you are good.

The caravan next to us is a Unicorn Valencia and has one 10kg gas-lite in side locker a gas engineer was changing it for a new one .
