Testing Your LPG Gas Bottle

Our gas bottles are now available with the new and improved LCC27 connection valve and its backwards compatible with POL fittings.

It’s designed to fit with your newish BBQ or cooker, as well as older models, so you can swap with confidence.

The Difference Between Propane and Butane

Propane and Butane are considered LPG.

When comparing propane and butane, the most significant difference is the boiling point of the two gases.

Propane (LPG) has a boiling temperature of -42°C, whilst butane has a higher boiling point of -2°C.

This means that LPG (propane) works in really cold weather whilst butane can stop working when below freezing.

Both are flammable hydrocarbon gases that are liquefied through pressurisation.

They are commonly used for heating, cooking, and hot water.

Why is a 9kg Gas Bottle Filled with 8.5kg?

A 9kg BBQ gas bottle is filled with 8.5kg of LPG, but why?

This is because various gas bottle manufacturers make bottles with slightly different dimensions and volumes.

Sometimes the volume or capacity, with the required ullage, is less than 9kg.

This can result in dangerous overfilling if 9kg is put into an undersized bottle.

SWAP’n’GO®  ensures the same amount of LPG is in each bottle, safe and ready for use.
