New Gaslow cylinder - are the gauges still inaccurate? (1 Viewer)

[Bill_OR]

Hi - just had to have my 11Kg Gaslow cylinder replaced due to a fault and the new ones are a bit different to the old ones. Can anyone with a new style cylinder confirm whether or not the gauges are still a bit 'random'? I've just filled it up (took 18 litres) yet the gauge is still showing as almost empty!
Thanks.

After filing its worth giving the bottle a quick shake to settle the float
Not totally accurate though

accurate ... yes..

but a relative term.. but they are excellent

Thanks for your help @Robert Clark & @scotjimland - I gather that I'd have seen snowballs rolling along the road behind me if I'd lost that quantity of Gas in such a short time period. I'll keep an eye on the gauge and hope that it settles down. I don't want to run out while in France next week!
Thanks,
Bill

If you've got some adaptors you can always fill up in France if you need to

Hello, I have read somewhere that the gauges only work properly after their first fill if that's any help

If it is this contents gauge then when it is full the indicator is also very close to empty...if you see what I mean!



I've got this one on my cylinder and it seems to work reasonably well...doesn't start to go down until it is about 85% full though...

Fill with 18ltrs but gauge shows almost empty........I reckon you answered your own question.

Mine did that, and confused me being a first timer with these cylinders, but I think the gauge has gone all the way round and slightly past the mark.

Thanks for the tips - I'll keep a close eye on the gauge and top up in France before next weekend to make sure we don't run out!
