its been possible to fill bottles as far back as the 1970,s that i know of . it did go on before .Hi there,couldn't resist putting in my 5 pennworth,but I think a lot of this problem has been sparked off by people turning up at lpg filling sites e.g. with CALOR and OTHER branded NON-refillable bottles and filled them with adaptors which were obtained on e-bay,i know of quite a few people who have purchased these adaptors and now our local Morrisons where I have never previously had problems using to fill my Alugas system which has an external filler point mounted on the lower skirt of my Hymer,will no longer allow the use of the LPG pump by motorcaravans,I even know of one person,a caravanner,who used this method to fill his "see-thru" light-
weight cylinder and used to "guess" what might be about 80% by looking at the "see thru" area near the upper-half of the bottle,it is these sort of practices that are causing problems for the rest of motorcaravanners/car -avanners that have gone to the expense of having a proper refillable bot -tle system fitted with an external filler point,I could be wrong but I remain to be convinced otherwise.

That's not the ones that cause concern, its the ones that you can buy off Ebay etc to fit to non-refillable bottles, eg Calor, that are the problem.Am I right in assuming then that it's not illegal to sell and advertise a product as safe to use when IMHO it clearly is not safe nor legal to fill in the manor described.?

Nothing wrong with that but obviously you need to check them periodically to ensure there's no damage or deterioration as per Sue's photo.just had a Gaslow system fitted, they used a rubber refil hose

Containers which are attached to a vehicle for heating or cooking (on camper vans or similar) present similar risks on filling to those for propulsion purposes and may be permitted to be re-filled at autogas refuelling sites provided they:-
are not removed for refilling; and
are secured in a suitable enclosure; and
are fitted with an internal device to physically prevent filling beyond 80%; and
are connected to a fixed filling connector which is not part of the container.
The farm you mention is at South Scarle Jock. It should only be approached from Collingham as other roads into the village are very narrow.If you are referring to Countrywide Farmers, then sadly no.
Their nearest depot is Solihull, and they are concentrated mainly in the West and South West.
There is a farm at North Scarle, whose Autogas price can be very competitive. They are not far off the A46 between Newark and Lincoln.
HTH,
Jock.
Oops. Thanks for pointing that out Ken.The farm you mention is at South Scarle Jock. It should only be approached from Collingham as other roads into the village are very narrow.
