I am Brill, no floundering from me, no talking Pollacks and no Winkles on me.

I see you're not the sole expert, but you've left me trawling for the dregs...

Know your Plaice, don‘t get snagged by Barbs, and keep an eye on the Bigscale picture.

OK, this was just weird. Petrol station on the A1, guy trying to fill a calor propane cylinder from the LPG pump. Gas leaking everywhere as he tried to hook it up. He gave up and drove off when staff approached him.

It's a lot cheaper than swapping them at the normal outlets, but you need the correct adapter on the cylinder valve.

Is it legal? Looked pretty dangerous to me.

As far as I'm aware it is illegal due to the obvious dangers.

As Ivanova would so succinctly put it... *BOOM*

And do the conger, maybe? Though we'd be reeled in, hook, line and sinker...

I would have guessed that it would be more expensive and assumed gas for cars would have duty on it, bit calor gas tanks would be the equivalent of red diesel. I heard of someone running his car off red propane cylinders in the boot rather than filling up with propane at the garage and assumed it was some kind of fiddle.

The cylinder colour usually just relates to the contents. Red is propane, which is better for cylinders mainly kept outdoors, and blue is for butane, that is more apt for indoors.

I can't imagine there's much of a saving (if any) that'd make it worth the risk. That's not just from leakage during filling, but the bottles and valves won't be getting checked, and the cylinders stretch a bit on filling, which can build in stress points from fatigue.

Most people would probably miscalculate how much to put in too.

Aye, dangerous and illegal.

First off sticking a calor bottle in the boot is BS, the evaporator needs to take lpg in it’s liquid form so it’ll only run till the bottle is half empty, it needs a reinforced braided hose, similar to hydraulic hose as the lpg will continue to boil in a bit of rubber hose and inflate it like a balloon until it bursts, in pretty much no time at all, the propane bottles that you see on a fork lift are a special design, the connector is different to a standard propane connector, the bottle has a take off pipe inside that runs from the valve to the bottom of the bottle at an angle, which is why they have an arrow on the base to indicate this way up, there are some refillable fork lift gas bottles, they have a second valve on them that you open, when filling it, when gas comes out of this second valve, you stop filling and close this valve, this indicates the level inside the bottle is correct, and they can only be refilled on their side, oriented the correct way round, as for refilling a calor bottle at a garage, even with an adaptor it’s down right dangerous as the bottle is designed to have lpg at a maximum of 80% content of the bottle size, as the liquid gas boils and needs this space for the gas to be, if overfilled liquid gas will get into the hose and boil in there expanding it until it bursts, I’ve seen this happen and it’s terrifying what stupid penny pinching stunts like this can lead to

Yep utterly stupid, at best it leaks and the idiot gets cold burns on their skin, or they set fire to themselves and anyone else nearby.
however there was a bottle for caravans that was designed to be refilled at petrol stations.

Just been in the studio with the band. Its next door to a petrol station, and it was half empty and pumping fuel to customers ok, so all good here in Poshshire.
