We are in Porto at the moment and one of our calor gas bottles is empty Is there anywhere near we can get it refilled Can’t understand why empty as new bottle leaving wales only used the gas twice in a fortnight to cop

Calor gas is only sold in UK. Think you may have to get a local bottle. Am sure someone will be on soon to give more specific information

You could get it filled up in Braganca if you are heading that way. We filled up a couple of years ago, they have the fittings there. There is also a place in the Algarve that will fill your calor bottle, it’s just off the N125 at Boulequime, not sure of the spelling sorry.

Haven’t got co-ords on me at the moment as we are travelling across Spain, may be others will come along to confirm these or other places.

37.1280950, -8.1594558

Your only guarantee of filling up with gas anywhere is to acquire a refillable system. In the past I have had bottles refilled which proved dangerous. Overfilled and squirting liquid gas on the cooker, more than a funny tale. Refillable bottles allow 20% safety margin.

If, as you say, you started with a full bottle, you've got a leak. Get it checked as soon as possible but anyway before buying any more gas.
