Ok, so hubby has come around to the idea that refillable gas would be a good idea We don't travel enough for it to pay for itself but it'll certainly be more convenient so I'm hoping to pick up what I need as cheaply as possible and fit it myself.
The difficult part is already done: we already have an external filler and a pipe into the gas locker (was already installed when we bought the van) so all I need to find is an 11kg bottle. I'd prefer Alugas as its lighter, but we don't really have much of an issue with payload so the extra 5kg for Gasit/Gaslow won't make that much difference.
The one thing I haven't been able to find out is whether I can use our existing filler hose or I need to buy a new one? Also for the hose to the regulator....we already have a propane pigtail (from a 6kg Calor) I don't think this will fit any of the bottles will it? I also have one of these butane pigtails (for the 10kg Gaslight) - I'm not sure, but I think this might fit the Gaslow bottles? Will it fit Gasit or Alugas too, or does each type of bottle have its own fitting?
