gas

hi

just a quick wonder, in our van we have a 4.5kg calor butane bottle and inside a 7kg handy gas i am trying to get exchanged for a 4.5kg, in the meantime we are going away for 6 nights next month. the only thing the gas would be used for is the cooker so im just asking how long a 4.5kg normally lasts on average?

Afternoon Danny,

I have a calorlite bottle, again like you just use it for the cooker, it can last a good 2-3 months depending on use. we used otus at Easter for boiling the kettle frequenly for tea and washing up (as had no running water) used it for the cookfer for 5 nights and the needle hasn't moved. I anticipate that i will use it first May b/h and also a week away in June for 8 nights and the needle will probably only move to halfway.

Cheers

Rob.

Hello Danny

Gas bottles must only be carried properly secured in the gas locker.

 

[Danny_374561559]

yup, thats where it stays fastened in with the cap and rubber. the handy gas empty is in my uncles coal shed till we find somewhere that does the 4.5kg handy gas to switch
