Bottled gas price

[Chris Pink]

 

By the way, the search facility on this forum truly is terrible. Trying to find this thread I put in 'gas price' and a pageful of threads came up, none of them this one. I tried just 'gas' and got 'no results found'. Eventually 'gas bottle' found it half way down the page. I don't blame people for giving up on it.

 

Easier than finding cheap gas in the southwest;

I think you're better off using Google than the forum's own search facility.

I think you are all lucky sods.

 

We are forced into using Camping Gaz bottles, the stubby calors dont fit in the locker.

 

£20 for 2.75kg

Runs away to hide......

Would you be interested in shadowing us to Whitby in your "proper boat" in a couple of weeks

Ahem.

 

Would you care to shadow us to the port of Whitby in your "proper boat" in a couple of weeks?

Can't you get an adaptor that allows you to fill them for a fraction of that cost on a garage forecourt?

 

(I know!..... I know!.....)

 

Actually, I'd have thought given what your fuel (diesel) costs might be, paying an inflated price for LPG would seem fairly small beer lager (in your case, I believe!) by comparison.

Got it yesterday from Kelsalls near Cannock. 13kg, £20.48 inc. VAT

Try typing +Gas +Price in the search box so it looks for both terms being found together

Have you tried it?

 

it doesn't work.

You hit the limit it can't cope with 3 character search strings.

 

+diesel +price will work, (but not give the results you want!) +gas +price will not.

....though calor price (no +) works

 

(as my grandmother says, you can always fool a computer)

Would be fine.......

It is.

 

For some reason though quenching NC's never ending thirst for the red stuff doesnt seem as bad as being ripped off for a tiny blue bottle of gas

[matty40s]

ouch,

just looked at the receipt from Trinity Marina last Sunday £26.95!! Should have waited methinks.

[Richard10002]

Any suggestions for cheap Calor 13kg suppliers in Manchester? I'm on the Bridgewater at Stretford, but can travel a few miles.

 

Been buying from PF Jones in Old Trafford but I think the last lot were £30 each.... Which seems a lot compared to some here.

[josiejo]

we got a 13 kg from baron today in paddington for £23 . The lowest price we have found this year,

[Chris Pink]

£23 to Calor RRP of £27 is £4. Given that 13kg of gas lasts around 2 months isn't this rather academic? Especially if you spend £4 worth of diesel to get it.

I fill my own at a petrol station for around £16.00

If BSS examiner finds out you fill your own bottles he may cancel the exam and walk off your boat. They don't like'em.

[ditchcrawler]

oooh. Can you do that? Is it easy? There is a fuel station near me that does lpg can I just pop along and plug a gas bottle in? Cheers Phil

Our local Shell station won't allow it unless you are using bottles designed for diy refilling.

I thought that was only if you had bottles that are designed to be DIY refilled.
