mylpg is not fully comprehensive, there are at least 2 places near me that don't appear on the app, neither of which are garages. One is a Calor depot and the other, strangely, a builders merchant. Not sure how you would find them though unless through local knowledge.

I have heard though that Calor depots are VERY resistant to refilling motorhomes (I wonder why?) but normal LPG-powered vehicles are okay.

Sorry if this already been .on .. butmy battery going


Just driven round loads and phoned every LPG supplier that I can get the number of within 60 miles ... none of them have any LPG ..

Several said they don't expect a supply till around April ...

If you are on lpg and no hookup ..may be worth checking near you in case you are lucky and before it spreads.

Cheers.
Joy,
Recently called at Shell on Liverpool Road at Huyton for fuel in the car. I asked about LPG that they do sell (I tend to use this one now anyway for our gas) and they said they have not been out of gas yet. Apparently when the temperature falls below a certain level they can’t sell it - other posters please don’t blame the messenger with technicals about that being rubbish - and they do have it in stock at 59.9pence.

For information for those who don't already know. Here are links to Safefill refill sites for lpg and info re safefill light weight refillable bottles. Some of the sites are out of date. They will usually refill any tank, not only safefill, with a standard UK filler.

I use this one Caravan services Beaver Lodge Bell Lane Birdham Chichester PO20 7HY tel 01243 514499 . I also think this is a propane fill and not a propane/butane mix

Have you bought any gas there Mitzi?

I popped in when passing in my car to make inquires some time ago, and was told I wouldn't be allowed to fill my refillable tanks..
Anyone used this place?, @mitzimad

One of the reasons for the shortage was probably the homes that are not on the gas grid that use LPG instead. As soon as the cold and snow turns up, there is panic buying 'in case we run out'.

It was the same for heating oil. The price went from 40-odd pence per litre to 60-odd pence as soon as the snow turned up and many people who genuinely needed a refill could not get deliveries due to people 'topping up just in case'.

I'm in Bristol touring around, visiting family etc and can't find anyone with PLG.
Flowgas have said there's a shortage and LPG won't be on the pumps for a "few weeks" I've had to defrost my fridge and store frozen stuff with the family. .........does anyone know where I can get LPG in this part of the country as I'm stuck now.

Andy’s Gas at Cribbs Causeway shows on fillpg as having gas but worth checking before driving over.

Already spoke to cribbs causeway he said I would not get any in Bristol. Said Swansea bay might be a possibility, but was not sure about that.
