We’ve been on the move for two months now and gas is feeling like the most ridiculous industry. We have FloGas and Calor (UK, butane) bottles on board as well as regs for the above and Campingaz.
Ireland has Calor (Eire) completely incompatible and unswappable with UK. No Campingaz and no FloGas.
Northern Ireland looks to be the same although not there yet.
Isle of Man only has Manx Gas which although it seems to be identical bottles to Calor UK and they can swap them, we’d end up with bottles only changeable in IoM.
Feels like a total farce and we can’t store many more cylinders on the boat sensibly or safely so I’d like to get some gas transfer gubbins.
Can someone who is familiar with the process please tell me what I ought to buy for most effective transfer from the most number of bottle types? Although a waste of money at least would be nice to get a bottle temporarily in each location to fill from.
I understand the physics and the process just fine, and at this point the risks seem at least as acceptable as doing things “the right way” (which is ridiculous!). I’ve ruled out electric cooking as we don’t have the power or space to add more. Also entirely uninterested in changing the challenge with those refillable LPG bottles. They don’t seem to be any easier.
Thanks all
