You're probably the only person here who has one of these meters so maybe it's you who should know :rotfl:

Ask the person who is paying the main bill what he or she is paying per Kwh this is on there bill.
then look at your meter If it's marked ft3 it is an IMPERIAL meter which delivers appx 31.5Kwh per unit
So say they are being charged 3.5p per Kwh on there bill
you would do it like this 31.5x 3.5p=£1.10 + 5% vat = £1.15 per unit so you would set your meter at just under 1 unit to the £1 coin.
If it marked m3 on the front it is a METRIC meter and delivers appx. 11.2 Kwh of Gas for each meter unit
11.2X 3.5p=£0.392p + 5%= £0.41 per unit so you would set your meter at just under 2.5 units to the £1 coin.
Hope this helps
