Which is best Gaslow or Gasit

[lennyhb]

Gas-it sell Stako Cylinders which are made in Poland. Stako 4 hole cylinders have a level gauge in the top of the tank which is fairly accurate for the whole contents of the tank which give them a slight edge over Gaslow, you can also fit a remote level gauge.

Gaslow products are often found at accessory shops whereas Gas-It are mostly online.Gas-It also sell identical cylinders as Gaslow at a lower price and their service is generally excellent.

GAS IT and Gaslow each market two ranges of user-refillable gas-bottle.

 

GAS-IT's 'basic' bottle is a 2-hole type with a magnetically-operated contents gauge (generally acknowledged as providing questionable accuracy and with a relatively limited scope). Gaslow sells a similar design of 2-hole bottle but has dropped the magnetically-operated contents gauge from it due to users' complaints.

 

Both companies offer bottles with mechanical contents-level gauges. Gaslow's is shown on this link

and GAS IT's equivalent is shown here

User-refillable ALUGAS-branded metal bottles are also available

Hard to advise on which is best. The cost of a refillable-bottle system will depend on the components chosen (one or two bottles, stainless or 'rubber' hoses, etc.) and whether or not the installation is DIY.

If anyone's interested I've got a Stako 6kg for sale which is full of gas, this is after a change of van. No hoses or filler points as I used these on the "not now so new van".
