Gas cylinders - can you exchange different sizes?

I'm 99.99% certain that you cannot do a straight swop. But the cylinders are rented on a one off payment initially so, providing you have the paper work you can get that deposit back and then use that as part deposit for the different sized cylinders.

You can normally change for 1-size up or 1-size down.

 

So you could change a 3.9 for (say) a 6kg (maybe a 9kg at a push)

I do a lot of business with our local Calor seller so normally can 'swap' any size for any size, but he does need to 'balance' his stock of cylinders in time for his Calor audit.

some dealers are more flexible than the official rules.

I think this is the most pertinent point. I wanted to swap a 13kg for a CalorLite a while back for a caravan. The dealer pointed out that my bottle wasn’t even a Calor bottle so he couldn’t take it. He still gave me a Lite bottle though even though he had nothing to exchange.

i swap mine in winter from 13kg to 47kg not a problem 

The calor dealers that I use are quite flexible on bottle size, but some are not. You can only ask them.

Deposit is the same for every size afaik

 

my experience is it’s harder to go down sizes and a few years ago there seemed to be a shortage of the smallest 3.9 and 4.5kg bottles.  

That’s because I’ve got four of the blighters ?
