Mine would last four weeks when used on all houses, 5 days a week 7 hours a day.

Hello Ian,

Its a standard gas heater used for camping and will be left on a medium to high heat overnight.

Regards.

Hello All,

Thanks for all your replies.

I got up this morning however and found the gas had ran out as the back of van was still frozen all hoses solid the lot, basically.

To be honest it was only a very small heater, the type that your only meant to use for about an hour at a time to make the gas last, sort of thing.

Will try B&Q later.

Thanks again.

You also gotta remember, when you turn off your hose the gas turns off. The burners come on, on demand.

So its only using gas as long as you are working ;)
