Like many owners, particularly those who go abroad, I have always carried a Calor bottle and a Campingaz 907. If I was to run out of gas abroad I know the Campingaz are readily available and can also be used on a Cadac, Gas BBQ etc.

The problem is the preferred 6kg Calorlite bottle has gone through stages of being unavailable as Calor have withdrawn it several times. The most obvious replacement is a 6kg Flogas bottle at near identical weight and dimensions. https://www.flogas.co.uk/product/6kg-propane-gas-cylinder They also distribute the old see through style BP bottle that was withdrawn some years ago. https://www.flogas.co.uk/product/5kg-gaslight
Planning in advance I managed to pick up a supposedly empty gaslight for £10 only to find it 1/4 full when I cleaned the bottle. Both of these bottles take a 27mm clip on fixing, which I had one of from many years ago.
The black hose I use from bulkhead to Campingaz bottle was out of date and I then realised that the hose end fitting would accept both the Campingaz and the 27mm clip on for the Flogas bottles. I sourced a 750mm stainless steel hose as it has a 20 year life and at 63 I think this will probably take me to the end of my caravanning life [sounds morbid doesn't it] https://www.gasequipmentdirect.co.uk/pro...E&cn-reloaded=1
So I'm now ready for any eventuality when when Calor finally stop distributing the Calorlite. In the meantime I have two big bottles for the UK and when abroad can swap one over for the Campingaz.

I haven't got a clue why a Survey box appears with this thread. If any of the team can find a way of deleting it please do so.

Thanks - Colin

I'd normally use 'edit' to remove a post from a topic, Colin, but as no such button appears I'm at a loss as to what to do.

I couldn’t find a way of fixing it either.

Gremlins, probly.

Thanks boys.
