No leak. It's the nature of butane gas... as the gas is drawn from the bottle, the bottle temperature drops and the pressure drops with it. This continues to happen until the bottle basically freezes and the gas flow virtually stops. Only option is then to let the bottle warm up again. Didn't realise how much if an issue this would be, even during cool summer or autumn evenings. This is why I'd only have propane from now on for BBQ or outside heating. I've learned through experience!

They delivered to my drive way without me being home, some yobs rolled it down the hill grabbed it and threw it through the back of a car's rear window. Opened up the gas valve and chucked a burning cigarette through an open front window. BOOOM, half the windows on my street have been blown out. The Police are claiming I must pay for the damage as I left the gas bottle on my drive...WTF!!??

I'd complain, they delivered the wrong type of bottle, should be quick release, not with a gas valve!

In any event, had this have happened, you would not have been held liable.

I bought butane from this company last year... no problems at all. However, I would only ever buy propane now... bought the butane to use in a patio heater and it loses pressure after its been on for a while (maybe an hour) to such an extent that it becomes basically useless.

butane is not for patio heaters, had someone changed the regulator? Butane is for when it's warm outside.

where is cheapest to get patio gas please
paulandpam1 to sw19church
11 Oct 16#55
Do not buy patio gas because it's a ripp off price and is only propane in a different colour bottle.
Either buy normal propane that comes in a red bottle or if you plan to use your patio heater in temperatures above 10° this butane deal will do.
Also you'll have to change the regulator at the end off the gas pipe for the appropriate bottle but regulators are only a few quid.

will this fit the clip on regulator on patio gas heater?
paulandpam1 to sw19church
10 Oct 16#52
No, but a new butane regulator only costs a few pounds.

Mine got delivered today I ordered it the afternoon this deal was posted, I never got an email or a phone call the guy just turned up with it on the back of a wagon so i don't know what would have happened if I was not at home.

My parents have a heater that takes these cylinders...they normally get a 15kg cylinder, would this one be ok?
Sho99 to rimz790

I have the indoor heaters and they can take both 15 and 13 with no issues. Just a slightly smaller bottle connection is the same..

If you check your local flogas depot it will probably be a little cheaper if like me delivery is not convenient. At the Birmingham depot it's currently £19.43 if collected , I guess they might want an exchange bottle though.

I had the opposite problem I told them I wanted to collect and they said no problem, after fighting through Birmingham traffic on a Friday I got to their Birmingham depot only to be told they had delivered it.

Didnt come with a regulator. According to this site, butane is ok in the summer or autumn months...
There larger 47Kg Propane Gas Cylinder are £59.99 with free delivery, ideal if you live in the country and need them for your cooker or is there a cheaper deal out there?

Very good deal used them a couple of times before for my gas BBQ how ever this summer I detached the regulator and the little ball inside the valve got stuck releasing all the gas with the biggest powerful woosh it scared the f out of me and the kids and I had to pick the bottle up and run down the bottom of the garden with it and just let the bottle empty it's self so that was a wasted nearly full bottle gutted. And nearly took my hand off with the pressure. I would buy from them again these things happen but it dose make you wonder if the bottles are cheaply made sometimes but cheap buy twice.

of course this would have been covered under the sales of goods act and you would have got a refund/replacement?

When this deal is expired, it's worth remembering woldlink, they are slightly cheaper than this price and deliver nationwide for free. No bottle deposits on all bottles including propane. They're banned from HUKD for some reason though, so can't post deal, but can be found on google/facebook.

See my post #24, not cheaper for me, but worth bookmarking for when this deal expires.

anyone used this company before?
calor gas is £35 for a refill in B&Q near me but that is for a 15kg bottle.
do these fit the standard 21mm calor gas regulator?
paulandpam1 to itsmearron
6 Oct 161#16
Yes the yellow 13kg gas bottle from Flo Gas defo uses a standard 21mm regulator, they also do a blue 13kg gas bottle that looks similar to a calor butane bottle colour but that uses the more obscure 20mm gegulator.

Yes they fit a 21mm regulator and work just fine on a gas bbq

If you buy the regulator, will this work with a BBQ?

6 Oct 16#28
Yes will work just fine and it's a 21mm clip on regulator for these bottles

We use butane in our bbq, works just fine but in winter you may endup not being able to use it in cold temperature, the pressure on regulator is lower but the gas itself has more calories (power).

But you do know don't you a propane bottle should NEVER be stored or used indoors in a domestic house or flat and only used in an area that has adequate means to allow leaked gas to escape.
A butane bottle has the gas stored in it at a much lower pressure making it safer to use and store in household gas heaters.
Obviously if your into winter caravanning or BBQ's in mid winter you'll need Propane because of the lower freezing temperature of the gas but for most peoples use this Butane is better.

They are fine if no problem but the last bottle they sold to me wouldn't work with my fire, customer service was none existent. In the end I used a screwdriver to push the valve open (in a well ventilated garden) to let some pressure out, worked fine after that.

Is this the right type of gas for a bbq ?
paulandpam1 to lisadee38
6 Oct 161#7
Any gas bottle will work on a Gas bbq but you will need to use the correct regulator (the bit that attaches the gas pipe to the bottle)
The regulator you get supplied as standard with your bbq will NOT fit these bottles but a replacement one will cost about £8
ro53ben to lisadee38
