jt cost me 25 quid a month.

About 20- 25 per hour depending on size of gas bottle you use most economical is the 19 kg

I use a refillable autogas cylinder ( fill it up from the garage ) costs me about £8 something per week ( on average ) depending how busy/lazy i am ;D
Autogas is around 73p per litre.
Ive been using gas heaters for over 5 years with no problems, firstly the L5 now i use the fogwash ( it has a flue. ) where i can exhaust the gases through the roof of the van.
My heater will also heat water so hot you cant put your hand under it.
I really do think spending 3k is not worth it, hot water is hot water.
I use hot water everyday ( just because i like using it ) it wont change your life, but it does make your day to day life easier.
Its really good on first cleans & conny roof/ & gutter/ fascia cleans.
Hope this helps

hi Roy how much does it save you using the refillable bottle i pay £33 for 19 kg bottle what would it cost using refillable
-
It used to cost me £38 for 19kg bottle and that would last me 30 days of window cleaning approx.
Now I get 14days for £9-£10.
So it saves 55p per day.

You guys need to find out where the local butty vans get their gas. My local one is £26.00 for 19kg.

roy, that safefill one, is it just a normal propane regulator one side then the connector to fill up at the petrol station on the other?

Roy,Are you happy with it?
Another question please, which gas heater have you got and which hose do you have to connect from the heater to the hose reel?
Many thanks

Did you mean to quote me Roy?
Just confirming-ill get one of these if so...

Sorry Darren yes meant to quote you.
Also had the fogwash for nearly 3yrs this winter used every working day.
Would I get another gas heater absolutely.
The hose I use from heater to the real is washing machine hose.

Fogwash for me too. Only fire it up for a couple of months a year.

im lucky I get all my gas at trade price,
so only cost me £10 for a 6kg and £18 for a 9kg, but I only use 6kg due to the size for my van.
