Filling a 6kg Gasit cylinder from empty.

[Chris51]

Just filled my 6 kg Gasit and was surprised that it took just under 12 ltr of gas --is the cut-off working OK?

Seems OK to me, had 12litres in our 6kg bottles when empty.
Ps 1 kg of lpg gas is 1.96 litres approx

Sound right to me.. my underslung is 30l. When filled to 80 % = 24ltrs.Which is equivalent to 2x6kg bottles.
1kg = roughly 2ltrs. Therefore 6kg = 12 ltr

Thanks for that.

Yes it’s fine, the 6kg is it’s capacity at 80%
The true maximum allowance for filling a cylinder is actually around 87% so a good safe margin is already built in ?
