Hi All

Ive got the L5 Heater & Ive been using a 6kilo propane cylinder, just wondering what other people use is there any regs I should be considering.
Got local company offering a good deal to swap to 11k bottles.

Thanks in advance

Gary I use 13kg but the bigger the bottle the longer it lasts and the dearer it cost lol !!! All down to own preference really if you got space in van for bigger bottle then go for bigger 😳

Check the  price its cheaper for gas in the larger bottles.

Any idea how much it costs on gas for an average 3 bed house? Is diesel cheaper?
Cheers,

That's where you are wrong Smithie as refilling a 13 kg bottle is going to be cheaper than filling a 19 kg bottle now come on use ya Savy lol !!!

[Small but perfectley formed]

its cheaper per kg for the 19kg than a 13kg

[bobplum]

can you get 19kg in propane, everywhere i go its 13 kg

[dannymack]

Yes Bobski you can get any size m8 in propane I'd of thought !!!

11kg or 13kg propane (i use the green patio gas bottles as they have a gauge on the side so you can sse how much gas you have left)

[dannymack]

Can you use the green one in the freezing cold like you can the propane as I know the blue butane freezes up don't it ?

19KG were costing me £23 per refill in February this year, one bottle was lasting between 5 and 6 weeks.

Butane does not burn as hot as propane, therefore you will be using more butane than propane for the same heat.

Also the L5 heater is classed as a propane fuelled water heater not butane.

Hi All

Thanks for, just concerned on size for vehicle regs.

Have settled for a 10kilo size, much bigger than the 6 but compressed into a smaller bottle.

Are you brain damaged mate its logical 13kg will be cheaper  than 19kg buts its less gas. ,but per kilo of gas bigger bottles are cheaper. The green is also propane I know a good doctoer can hepl you mate.

Not necessarily, my local supplier charges £24.50 for 13kg and £25.00 for 19kg. Dearer I know but only fractionally and much better value at 19kg.

He was right, you just need to find the right place.
