Refillable LPG cylinders have been on sale to motorhome / camper van owners for at least 10 years, that I know of. There was a particular manufacturer who sold the cylinders and the adaptors. The cylinders were yellow in colour.

The company who have sold refillable LPG cylinders for over 10 years is Gas Low. Other suppliers include; Safe Fill, Gas It and Gas.de

If you do it properly, you'll likely have a setup that looks like this, and you can have the gas entry point on the side of vehicle.



Calor and similar bottles are not designed to be user refillable. They don't have a safety/excess pressure valve, so the bottle needs to be weighed to work out how much gas is already in there, and then the right amount added. No fuel station operator is going to help you do something so stupid and dangerous.

Whether you think it's safe or not, I doubt many petrol stations here will allow it.

A quick google doesn't even find the adaptors available for open sale

RUBBISH - Perhaps I have a different google to you but there are lots on ebay and even amazon

Fair enough. I must be looking for the wrong things. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to enlighten me...?

And, yes, I'm aware of the Gaslow etc cylinders - that's not what you're asking for, is it? You seem unwilling to name CG or Calor, but that IS what you're asking about...

I normally avoid YT comments like the plague, but the comments on that one are along a unanimous theme - "You're going to kill yourself and others, you cretin, because you don't have the first clue."

When I lived in California in the 1990's everyone with a propane BBQ would take propane cylinders to the petrol station to be refilled. It was ridiculously cheap too. I don't remember there being any safety issues if it is done correctly. I don't know why this doesn't happen here.

Because if it wasn't done correctly, there were massive safety issues.

Oh, and because you don't own the bottle here. And the owners don't want you to. Because of the safety reasons, among other things.
