Refillable gas bottle good for another 10 years. 😎

We decided back in 2007 refillable gas bottles were the way to go, and decided on two 11kg gaslow bottles, but in 2010 Theonlysue Sue got some aluminium ones so I just had to have those being half the weight, so sold the gaslow and got aluminium 11kg from gas it.

Well 10 years on we contacted the factory in Germany that made them, and asked about testing them, Marion at alugas who speaks very good English said send a photo, which we did and booked us in for 09.00 and said you can overnight at the factory, a bit of noise but free.
So €74.50 new valves bottle tested and good for another 10 years.

A very organised friendly company to deal with and happy with the result.

Hit the nail so to speak on the head its the valves not the bottles that deteriorate, £180 for a *new bottle* or E74 for a new valve and another 10 years

That's brilliant, try getting that done in the UK they don't want to know.
My Alugas bottles are dated 2023 so if we change vans within the next 3 years well worth moving the bottles.

As it is now in excess of 23years since I "retired". I could be wrong. but, Back then Technically anything below 150liters (water) capacity was NOT subject of statuary examination?. Any Examinations where "advisory". Most suppliers will recomend a 10 year "life", and to be fair that should be followed. The fittings are more suspect though than the actual vessels. EDIT:- ANY "relief" devices must be replaced with certified ones as a matter of course.

Thinking about replacing my Gasit bottles with Gaslow, have been told that they have a warranty of ten years; however on reading the Gaslowdirect.com website they will replace Gaslow 10 year bottles with refurbished bottles then certified for fifteen years for a cost of £99 per bottle. Why the difference in life?
