Pretty much sums up the r67 then.Calls bottles don't have hose rupture valves so they can't be.

I'm not being picky about this , but can't see the difference, it's not fixed as such it will come out just as easy as a calor bottle, and anyone just looking at them can't say that you haven't filled your own calor bottle , which can be done and there is no 80% thingy on them at all.I'm not the expert.. so wrong person to ask.. but post #27 gives most of the features for R67 refillable bottles, but comparing with Calor bottles is apples and pears..
Calor are simple pressure containers with a shut-off valve and an over pressure relief valve..
they have none of the other features of the R67 bottle and are not designed to be filled by a third party.. nor intended to be installed as a refillable tank.
Gaslow have made the R67 bottle to comply with the same regs as used for LPG fixed tanks.. in effect it is an LPG tank, not a returnable gas bottle ..

did see several attendant gas pump garages refuse to fill any of the refillable bottles this year in spain .
Haven't been deep into Spain for a couple of years , so why are they apparently getting unfriendly to tourists, it seemed ok when we were there,just another nail in the Spanish motorhome hospitality coffin Alan..
another reason not to bother with Spain.

Thanks.. @Bertie Bassett better explained than my post..
my view on R67 is that whether the legislation at present is only for LPG tanks used for propulsion (and not required for 'cooking' gas) is a moot point..
I could have saved a couple of hundred pounds by installing a non R67 compliant bottles .. and if strapped for cash would have done so.. no question.. no one is saying the old bottles are inherently unsafe.. or that those with old bottles should rush out and buy R67 .. but when fitting from scratch, and there is a higher safety standard available that I could afford, it was a no brainer for me..
In life, we all make choices based the best advice available and what suits our wallet. That's what I did ..
Hi Shano, welcome to the fun house!
To be perfectly honest it is easy peasy to fit a refillable system if you've got some basic DIY skills and will save you an absolute packet!
But PLEASE get it professionally checked for leaks etc. - in case I'm parked up next to you.........................

Or what about the Autogas2000 aluminum bottles. I've just fitted an 11kg with external filler myself for £250. It has the rupture protection and a "proper" gauge with the option of a remote gauge. Also being light bottles, you get to save payload too.I think I opened a can of worms with this thread.. Lol
Think I'm still heading for the gaslow tho

If you can safely change an exchange cylinder where you have to detach and re-attach a pipe then there is no reason that you cannot do this safely ... if you are not confident in that then you shouldn't be fitting a refillable system anyway!But PLEASE get it professionally checked for leaks etc. - in case I'm parked up next to you.........................

it's a bit worrying drilling the hole in the skirt of a new van but it's surprisingly straightforward if you are practical about it.

Gaslow & Gas-it (Stako) are made in the same Polish factory, if you want quality try German manufactured Alugas and they save a fair bit of weight and you can get 13 kg bottles which is what I have.We had GasIt bottles on our old van and have Gaslow in the new one.
In my own opinion, the Gaslow bottles and connecting pipes look to be superior quality, however the GasIt external filler cap is superior as it has a nylon tie, connecting the cap to the body, preventing you from leaving it behind after filling.

Got my Alugas supplied & fitted free as part of the deal.Hi Lenny
They may be made in the same factory, but they are not the same bottles
Gaslow is superior, and so are the connectors
Appreciate Alugas may be lighter, but as we got the Gaslow bottles at cost price and fitted free, I couldn't refuse
Regards
Robert
