Calor / Flogas

[Ginge tourer]

Reading lots about shortage of 6kg calor gas, can you use flogas instead? Are the valves the same fitting?

 

[RM_Marine]

Yes

Are stock levels of Flogas any better? In my 2min search, no
They look to have the same low 6kg & 11kg stock levels and prefer exchange to new starters.

 

[IRHP]

exactly the same

Our local Flogas stockist [mainly domestic gas supplies rather than m/homes/caravans] has a decent stock of 6kg & 11kg Flogas bottles. At present they are restricting supplies to exchange only in case the bottle shortage becomes a problem and householders/static caravan residents are left high and dry; but the Staff were incredibly helpful and invited us to keep in touch so that we can get 11kg bottles when the supply chain has been restored to normality. Randolph Gas Supplies, Randolph Place, Kirkcaldy £26.75 for 6kg bottle, and no charge for the 25 mins spent trying to see if they had an automatic gas bottle switching regulator that could be fitted into Brunhilde!

I was just looking for this sort of answer prior to posting a question. Ive just got my MH a couple of days ago, but it only has 1x 11kg flogas, so im trying to get a 2nd. Suppliers (as you just said) arent able to sell me a bottle. Its all very well them saying theyre restricting to exchange only to protect householders/static caravan residents, but what about those of us who reside in our MH's and need a 2nd bottle for back up?
Any ideas where i might be able to buy a 2nd bottle please?

Try a recycling/refuse site?

Have you searched flogas stockists on their website? I bought one last year at Campbell fuel oils in Kilmarnock.

 

[Jev88]

Buy old bottles on marketplace.

Hi, yes, rang all 3 local to me, theyve been instructed they not allowed to sell bottles, exchanges only currently (even though they have the 11kg bottle i need in stock)

Sorry only just seen your reply, if you put @ immediately before a name it will alert the subject as in Calm Seas.

Have you sorted anything yet? Do you know you can get a second 11kg onboard? A lot of gas cupboards can only fit an 11 and 6kg. I am up that way next week, Falkirk Wheel possibly and onto Fort William before a week into the unknown. I can try our local depot to see what they have although I don't have space to carry an 11kg, would a 6kg do, even empty for you to exchange?

Good advice, I got a 3/4 full Calor 11kg for a big box of teabags (their not allowed to accept cash).

Thanks Bailey58,
I think I may be sorted now yes, someone one is getting me one. Plenty of space in the locker, looks like it would take 2x 13's easily enough.

another happy outcome!
I got a 13kg Calor bottle delivered today from a very kind person with contacts!
So i now have a 11kg flogas & and a 13kg calor in my locker giving me more options in future for refills!

Every now and then I realise there ARE still some good people out there!
