Paul Morgan Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 At this weekend's Shepton Mallet show, there was a company selling lightweight gas bottles and refillable (not Gaslow). They had a stand upstairs near the Camping and Caravan stand. Has anybody got their address or phone numbers as I cannot trace them.

peejay Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Paul, Was it MTH Autogas? Before you buy, make sure you check whether the bottles are fitted with a 80% stop fill device, I think one of their products (lightw8) isn't and you need to be aware that its possible to overfill these at the garage forecourt. http://www.mthautogas.co.uk/ pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeaflight Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have one of these I run it empty then fill to 80% by the pump read out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel E Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 If it is MTH (and they usually go to the Shepton Shows), then they have proper refillable cyliders with both 80% fill protection and a float guage giving a genuine readout of current fill level - invaluable with a refillable cylinder. They were also much cheaper than Gaslow last time I checked. ===================== As for 'takeaflight', you may well do excatly that. It's just too easy to get it wrong doing it by eye - and then you will eject liquid gas into your hob burners with all the concommitant results! Please don't park near me just after you've filled up! In my view, the fibreglass cylinders without 80% fill protection don't save enough weight to be worth the extra risk. And I believe they cannot be legally filled at garage forecourts because of the dangers of overfill and spillage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also much cheaper than Gaslow last time I checked Hi Mel; I think Paul was referring to the lightweight bottles which don't have the 80% stop fill. The ones you mention do indeed have the stop fill device but are the larger and heavier 11.5 kg ones. Pricewise;- 1 x 11.5 kg mth autogas complete with fill kit - £220 1 x 11kg gaslow - £85 1 x remote fill kit - £50 pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel E Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Peejay, Yes, I realised that and both Gaslow and MTH sell the lightweight ones. What I was saying was that I did not think the weight saving over a proper cylinder was worth making for a non-automatic fill system with all its inherent dangers. As for the price comparison, you surprise me. MTH was a lot less than you quote when I got mine. And I again emphasise the huge benefit of the float guage which I believe competitors do not have.
