    Michael M , your being a bit of a picnicker,
    The amount of gas is stamped on the bottle, 11.5 KG for example so like petrol you dont fill until its pouring all over the ground.
    Gas price for the 11.5 KG bottle from the shop is 33 Euro or fill it yourself for 8 Euro "no brainer"

      LPG should only be put in bottles designed for the job, these will only allow themselves to be filled to 80%, not full only to 80%. Standard bottles will allow 100% filling and the chance of going boom. No brainer?

      because he has had a bad experience he thinks its against the law and it isn't. the reason in his experience is that the customer used the wrong bottle or over filled his bottle causing it to go boom, and probably miss under stood what the fire crew told him what is illegal, if a adapter is good quality and has a one way no return valve its not against the law

      waste of time on you people...
      you don't understand that cylinder need a safety valve to be refilled legally? you can't rely on your poundland scale and you can't look precisely at the filling station gauge. this is only 5% accurate at 15deg. when very cold you will put a lot more than stated, even to full. if full cylinder is then exposed to room tempeature the valve will release the pressure hopefully straight in your stupid dumb head, so you finally understand not to do such thing.
      pmac086 you just compared a liquid petrol to a compressed gas in a liquid state. do you even know what is lpg?
      it's no brainer if you use a cylinder fitted with a safety valve.
      it is illegal to refill portable gas cylinder if not fitted with a safety valve.

    • @abgsupport2716
      @abgsupport2716 7 лет назад

      that's why its recommended that 80% fill is the maximum example if i need to fill say 37 ltr to be at 80% then i would only put in 30ltr, if bottles are filled by calor, go flow, gas it they would only fill the bottles to 80% so why is it ok for calor gas to fill a bottle to 80% but i cant???. and my adapter is high quality and comes from a LPG gas supplier they build bottles so im sure they know what they are doing, and it cost £54 not like the £15 things that are sold on eBay. but if they have a one-way valve fitted then that's enough. its all down to being safe yes there are numpties out there that need their heads testing and wouldn't care if they blew every one up, but people like my self who buy the proper gear shouldn't be turned away. whether they have a safety cut off valve or not. it still isnt illegal to fill a refillable bottle. its bottles that are not desighned to be refilled that are ilegall

  • @daytrader66
    @daytrader66 5 лет назад +3

    The video would benefit from it being made clear that the bottle should be completely empty before filling. The way to determine that is open the tap before doing so. It's empty when no more gas comes out! :-). Also a, say, 13kg Calour bottle can be safely filled with 26ltr of lpg from the pump. The 20% vapour gap is additional to that.

    • @carstencroessmann
      @carstencroessmann 5 лет назад

      Exactly, I thought it too his calculation is wrong. The amount of Kg stamped on the bottles is the total without worries because filling up to this amount you always have the 20% safety vapour on top of the bottle for expanding safety. For example filling in the winter and putting it in a warm place later. Same here in Germany

      Don't think its illegal but sainsburys and morrisons have large signs telling you its against their policy. BP have a more vague warning hidden in the instructions that tanks must be fixed into the car or sth- you could interpret this as on the seat with the seat belt round it (and maybe a dark coloured t-shirt over the collar of the bottle) and fill through the rear window

      yes it is illegal. you can't refill camping gas cylinder at the autogas station.
      buy a cylinder that states refillable, it's fitted with a safety valve. or proper autogas tank.
      still some stations may refuse if you roll it out as it may be confused with a camping gas cylinder. most stations require a gas tank is permanently fitted, strapped etc. health and safety on site.
      also, you may not be happy with autogas in the summer as most stations selling butane with a very low procentage the of propane. your cooker will burn a long yellow flame, not nice at all.

    How do people trust themselves to fill their cars with 60 liters of petrol, the most inflammable liquid they can probably buy , yet panic at the thought of refilling a gas container which is far stronger than their petrol tank will ever be. Then they drive around with this' bomb' under their car for miles and years! I cannot believe the government allow petrol to be sold it is so inflammable.You must use diesel as it is far safer and very hard to ignite.

Only someone un knowledgeable on the subject would even consider that they are "mono-use / disposable" DUH !!!!!

    Mixed comments here. For clarity, you cannot fill the cylinders yourself. Some are saying it says xxkg in the bottle etc. The temperature dictates a lot to the amount you can fill.
    Recently someone tried sneaking a bottle in the boot of his car and filled it, it exploded. About three years ago, in Darlington a big explosion happened in similar circumstances.
    These units are made and sold illegally. The guy in the video clearly is hiding his hands by wearing black gloves then red heat gloves on top. He gets these made overseas.
    If you take all dangers into consideration and filling guides and all the factors surrounding the amount then it would be safe.
    Normal guy wouldn't know all this. Don't destroy your and your loved ones life's by saving a few quid.
    Granted it's half price, I too wanted to do it until I saw the explosion in Darlington. You might get away with it for so long. All it's going to take is over confident you to overlook one factor!
    IS IT WORTH IT?

    • @richardsandwell2285
      @richardsandwell2285 6 лет назад

      I see what you mean, but people trying this need to have full knowledge on the properties of LPG, but the government could certainly do its bit by preventing the artificial prices around bottled gas and indeed solid fuels which currently track the price increases of Natural Gas.
      People will do this because they are being forced to pay unfair prices for other fuels.
      Because of the corrupt commodity pricing systems in the UK, take cooking oil for example, back when it was illegal to run your old diesel engines on it without working out and paying the fuel duty tax on it cooking oil was so cheap.
      Now providing your diesel is of a type which will run on cooking oil, it is quite legal to do so, without paying any duty, but who would bother doing it unless you had a cheap supply of oil, cooking oil is now twice as expensive as what it should be, it is still a little cheaper than diesel but it closely tracks the price of diesel making the price difference not worth the slight drop in engine performance.
