Has anyone seen or have converters for Calor bottles that allows you to fill them with LPG at a garage?
My OH is convinced he's seen them on ebay but now can't find them

calor fill to about 90%. very often more .
you could just put less in . i really dont mind putting a bit more in . having had lpg converted
vehicles i like the bleed off valve systems . dont get them much now .but have seen many a 80%shut off valve fail . you can tell when the pump noise changes usually when its getting near to stop .
also having seen bottles overfilled and sat in the sahara desert for days in real hot sun . i,m fairly confident that expansion isnt that much of a problem .
think it far worse to be trusting in the 80%shut off valve and not be wary of whats going on .
been pumping lpg for years . at one time i used my american krug hand pump to fill the car from bottles there wasnt any garages with lpg round here.
I used one for several years before getting the Alugas kit...
Absolutely NO problems at all.
As said, I always start with a completely empty bottle and just go my litres.
As a matter of interest, all the cars and vans I have worked on running on LPG seem to rely on the pump shut off.. Certainly nowt special in the tanks other than a one way valve.
Open the tap, fill the bottle, close the tap disconnect the filling pipe.. job done

IMO they are playing with a bomb in the wrong hands.
No 80% fill stop.

Just make sure I am nowhere near when he tries to fill the bottles.To my mind it is just stupid. No 80% cut off.

there is approximately 1.82ltrs of propane to 1kg...therefore...
6kg bottle = 10.92ltrs
13kg bottle = 23.66ltrs
So, buy your figures you are overfilling by 1.08ltr for 6kg and 2.44ltrs for 13kg
By my reckoning that's around a 10% overfill for 6kg and a 10% for a 13kg.
To take account of tailings, sediment and water in the repeatedly refilled bottle I would say 10ltrs for 6kg and 22ltrs for 13kg max..
