We left home 6 weeks ago with a Calor light bottle showing around half full, or half empty as some believe it should be. We also have a Gaslow refillable that was filled before we left.
My reasoning was that the Calor bottle would get us to Portugal (where I know I can get it refilled) and we can use the Gaslow when the Calor runs out.
OK so far, but I have been amazed how long the Calor bottle has been showing empty (the Calor light has a gauge) but still continues to burn gas.
Now my point is have Calor set these gauges to show empty when there is still a substantial amount of gas left in the bottle? If so is this a ploy to make people think they are about to run out of gas and exchange the bottle thus giving Calor the gas left in the bottle?
Which in my case appears to be a bit more than a drop.
So when you return the bottle for exchange you could be giving away some of your very expensive gas.
A con trick?
