The Air/Gas ratio for correct combustion is around 16:1, so that 1 Litre leak becomes a 4320 litre OR 4.3 Cubic Meter BOMB when mixed with air! Calor seem to be on a suicide mission, hell bent on driving business away or failing their customers every way they can!

This means that customers won’t be able to buy new cylinders or exchange existing cylinders of these sizes for a refill. Why are these sizes being discontinued? Things have changed at a lot of recycling centers in as much as it's probably more than the Cleansing Operatives job is worth to give away anything(including gas bottles) to a member of the public. How do you decant? Just asked OH and he doesn't know/understand. Are we talking ordinary calor or safefill?For the latest information and advice on COVID-19, please refer to the latest updates by the UK Government. The relevant bit states: For "Cars/campervans/motorhomes/caravans" - "Butane/Propane (maximum of 3 cylinders, the combined weight of which must not exceed 47 kg) for lighting, cooking or heating purposes only." You can get adaptors to fit the 27mm clip on coupling (with 'Butane' outlet thread) so you can use your existing Propane pigtail. Personally, I'd rather just buy a new compatible Butane pigtail, that reduces the number of potential leak points and gets you a fresh hose good for 5-7 years safe use.
The regulator fits the top of your gas bottle and controls gas release from the cylinder to your camping stove. You connect a gas hose between the regulator and your stove. Since disposable gas cylinders are more expensive to use than refillable cylinders you may as well just go out and have a takeaway when camping in Europe.

If the washing-up liquid bubbles when the regulator is open, your clips aren’t secure enough, and you have a gas leak.
As well as 4,5kg butane cylinders, Calor Gas is also discontinuing the Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 6Lite Propane and 12kg Butane cylinders from 1 February 2023. Unfortunately, you'll typically find that new gas hoses are very stiff and are difficult to push onto the fitting. You will need to fit a 21mm Clip-on Butane regulator if you change up to a 7kg Butane cylinder from a 4.5kg Butane cylinder. You can sometimes get kits that combine a regulator and hose, which can save some money. The only downside I've found with the kits is that the hose can be short when your stove is on your camping table. Your gas cylinder should be on the ground, away from your stove. To work out how long a hose you need, measure the height of your camping table and add more to make it easy to position your stove on the table. As the sole supplier to many distribution outlets and for these reasons, it is difficult to understand how this move by Calor improves the cylinder experience for recreational boaters or maintains a reliable service for cylinder customers who rely on the smaller sizes. The RYA has therefore urged Calor to reconsider its decision to discontinue the sizes that many boaters rely on.From 1st February 2023, the Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 4.5kg Butane, 6Lite Propane and 12kg Butane will be discontinued. This means that customers won’t be able to buy new cylinders or exchange existing cylinders of these sizes for a refill”
As many welders & lpg users in the trade know, a qualified person is only allowed legally to refill lpg cylinders as unlike lpg vehicles these simple cylinders have no PRD (Pressure Relief Device) & many lethal problems can arise from "overfilling". Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected.Spring, autumn and especially winter campers need propane or at least a propane/butane mix on cold days. The existing 907 Campingaz cylinders (they are discontinuing 901 and 904 cylinders to concentrate on automated 907 refilling) are not designed to use a winter propane/butane mix. The use of Campingaz 907 is not therefore a substitute for the loss of small Calor Gas propane cylinders. We are not going to bother with it either. We weren't quite blown out of bed by the Buncefield explosion. It was like an enormous clap of thunder here, just north of Luton
