Do you carry a spare gas - if so where do you keep it?

[Seven Spades]

I am wondering where to keep my spare gas bottle having just read the small print in my insurance policy...

i have room 4 two blttles is the gas locker.
suggest you keep yours in the anchor locker along with o/b fuel ( another thing that can leak )

Best place is on the transom / aft deck if possible. (Sadly not in our case - or at least not without some more mods . . .)

Sigma 362 - or at least my one - has a second gas locker, not piped for gas but with drains outside the boat. Keep the spare gas and little butane cylinder for hot-knife in there.

I guessed the same (from his profile) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My carrera has the gas in the anchor locker as standard!

In the anchor locker in my case, covered by a thick plastic bag to stop it going rusty when doused in seawater. When at anchor I put it on a slat of wood in the cockpit by the drain holes, covered by an upturned bucket.

We keep a 904 bottle in the anchor locker, next to the Windlass on our Bav 33

I'm beginning to understand why UK supplied Camping Gas refills are invariably rusty and dented if everyone (else) keeps them in their anchor lockers. So where do the French keep theirs - which are almost always pristine by comparison? And why is this OK for them but not apparently for us?
