Jeeze, they say us Scots are tight fisted with our money, this takes the pee! lol

Get a gas vent key, take the valve out.... hey presto the bottle has now become scrap metal - and thus recycled!

quite an old thread now, although i do agree with old plumber and thread no longer relevant as i took all my empties fm the garage back to the merchants when the cylinder leaking was an issue🙂

 

[REDSAW]

you would agree.lol

I use recyclable Sievert gas bottles (look the same as rothenburger), when empty take into merchants and get a full one for a cheaper price than you would pay for the same size "throw away" bottles. I also use a Sievert gas torch as well, so much better than the crappy Rothenburger ones which tend to fall apart after a couple of months.....

Have you checked prices of refills lately. I was surprised to find sievert no cheaper than Roth gas

there was a paint shop in finchley called bond and whites one day a guy came in and bought one of the small disposable cannister the ones the sell in b and q as he was standing there waiting for his change he decided to screw it on to the gun ,unfortunately the guy behind him was smoking all four people at the counter lost their eyebrows and lashes the fireball took the paint of the front of every paint can , the front of the shop blew into the road and destyoyed a car parked outside it looked like someone had taken an angle grinder to it so please lets not mess with gas cannisters you know it makes sense

To be honest, no i haven't checked lately, but even if their the same price at least you're doing your bit for a greener world....!
As for DIY gas refills, good luck.....

I am all for saving dosh but would not muck about with propane gas - i have had
a new faulty one go up on me years ago whilst under a suspended floor not good.

i took it back and it arrived on the back wall of the plumbers merchants counter milliseconds
after i bashed thro their door - seen some nat gas bangs and butane bangs but
propane dont mess with

best firework display ever was the gas depot (calor i think ) near a supermarket (sainsburies?) going up in flames, those dumpy little bottles fly up into the sky to untold heights, the firemen werent happy, occurred quite some years back in Fareham.
