HOW TO FILL A GAS BOTTLE
The bottle needs to be removed from the vehicle!
(Note 2 Ltr of gas =1kg)
First you need to weigh the bottle.(An empty 6kg gas bottle is around 8-9kg)
The empty bottle weight is know as the TARE WEIGHT!
When you have established the weight this tells you how much gas is in the bottle
i.e. when it's full it should be around 14kg
Half full around 11kg
Empty 8kg
Now to the filling
First make sure the valve is turned off on the bottle!
Fit the adapter to the bottle and tighten.
Now open the bottle valve.
Now connect the filling hose to the adaptor/bottle.
(Note upon connection to your bottle you will hear gas entering the bottle without doing anything this is what is left in the hose from the previous user!)
Now press the button on the filling pump to deliver the gas keep it pressed till you reach 12lts (don't worry if you go slightly over or below!)
Now turn off the valve on top of your bottle.
Remove the filling hose
(Note again a small amount of gas will be released!)
Now you can remove the adaptor from you bottle.
Your bottle is now full and ready to be put back onto your motorhome ensure tightness and spray test joint after turning back on.
Never fill them more than 80%
USA is so back with this here you have to go and exchange the tank to a special place I never have seen a lpg gas pump at a gas stations
nikola georgiev this is technically illegal in most of Europe. To be legal the bottle needs to be fitted to a vehicle with a valve that stops it being filled beyond 80%.
@@Jabber-ig3iw my point was there is not many gas station that they sale lpg.
Actually is so hard to find a lpg to be sale at a gas station. That's what i am saying is not like in Europe where almost every gas station sale LPG.

Good job we are not in Greece
I have light weight bottles where you can see how much gas is in it.
I have such an adaptor, but still I'm a bit hesitant to do this.
Hallo, kunt u mij vertellen waar ik zo'n adapter kan kopen?
Some of us mere mortals have had proper training in filling gas bottles by LPG suppliers. When done correctly the dangers are minimal and are catered for in the procedure. Please do not assume that everyone outside of "the industry" is ignorant of correct procedures.
So how is this different to filling the tank on an lpg car exactly?
@@davidwainwright3742 lpg car tank has automatic cut off at 80%
Probably want gloves for that.
So is it not a legal requirement to carry LEL Monitor while filling gas.....
Morrison's station workers just stopped me filling a calor gas bottle, saying it is illegal. What is going on?
Luke Jones it is.

Hi ...what adapter did you use?Thanks
Surely they could train staff to do it leave a bottle and pick up next day
Its illegal to fill lose bottles on the forecourt in the UK. (and most other countries) Garages will freak out if they catch you doing this. You can be banned for life using that service station. Don't even think about using this method to fill from the boot or back seat thru the window unless you have a death wish cos i seen it done too. Regulations state only vehicles with permanent LPG system installed are permitted to be filled like LPG cars. motorhomes and RV's with a proper external body fill point.
Every thing you do in life can be made illegal if you don't do it right it's all down to common sense unfortunately it's getting rarer by the day with our nanny state watching over us so thanks for your comment you carry on sticking to 30mph you will be fine 😀

Exactly tonytca. The LPG pumps are only designed for use on LPG powered vehicles only, and it states on the safety signs that refilling gas bottles is strictly prohibited. By law, refilling gas bottles can only be done by an approved gas handler at a gas site.
Funny Gas low say their direct fill bottles can be taken out of a motorhome or caravan and filled at a gaslow filling station
Filling rented gas bottles is illegal in Britain. Its deemed dangerous you can be prosecuted is viewed as theft .the staff in the paydesk will hit the stop button if your seen doing it .the industry brougt out safefill bottles they have 3 safty mechanisms in them .those you can fill just not rented ones
bien 12.5lts = 6 kg de gas lp
Exactly
It's safe and easy, when those puppy will teach to be a men?
But how much was it to fill it up

@@davedixon6372 what was your search?
@@Colaaah fork lift truck LPG fittings
So you can’t top up a half full bottle
Yes course you just need to calculate how much is already in your bottle 👍
Is this not illegal in the uk to fill a calor gas bottle by end users?
WaschyNumber1 Hi no it's not illegal but some garages won't allow you to do it
It's impossible to blow a bottle up at worst you can overfill it that will result in just liquid coming out of the valve. If that ever happens take it to a wide open space obviously outside and vent off till just gas comes out. If you follow the instructions this should never happen. You need at least 20% of air in your bottle for the gas to form.
Paul Finglas You can not fil a flogas bottle by yourself
Why can't you fill a Flo gas bottle? The valve looks the same as any other propane bottles.
@@paulfinglas1305 bit late to the party but overflowing a gas bottle is one of the worst things to happen. True it may not be any danger to the person filling it up but gas is heavier than air, so following physics all that highly flammable gas will be going down the sewers just waiting for a gas build up. I always get mine refiled by calor because it basically costs the same and they replace your bottle with one that's been safety checked. But each to their own as long as you stay safe
@@kieranjordan2655 I did say take it to a wide open space outdoors you are right LPG is heavier than air
Where can I get the refill connecters please
Ebay LPG bottle filler make sure you get the one with a built-in non return valve around £30.00 😊

I saw somwhere on UA-cam where the filling station staff actually loaned you an adapter so that you could do it. Can’t remember where it was but I think if you are very discreet nobody would know that you were filling bottles and not your vehicle. If you were doing it both it might be a bit more convincing though .
Funny because at the petrol stations in the UK, it says in the safety signs that the filling of gas bottles are strictly prohibited. How did you get away with this?! :O Take my advice, if you have to refill a gas bottle, only have it done by an approved gas handler at a gas yard.
You are a victim of the great reset my friend
@@dorindo5517 What on earth are you talking about?
Is it Safe?
Safe as gasoline
No 80% cut off, no gloves to protect against cold burns, working on weight only, in a word “ NO “. Good luck in finding a station that allows you to refill. Almost all will simply not allow it, toooooooo dangerous.
In Greece that is illegal
So is paying taxes
in Poland also
and petrol stations will let you fill them no problem????
I fill mine at the petrol station once a month, calor won't deliver to my place.

Well I'm not dead so clearly your wrong 😂
Totally illegal filling
You obviously searched for something similar to this if you don't like it don't do it 😊
And to be quite honest in this current climate self filling a gas bottle should be the least of your worries ☹️
