Small Gas Bottles: 3.7kg & 4kg Gas Bottles for Barbecues
The 4kg gas bottle (3.7kg gas bottle) are the perfect small gas bottles for bottled BBQ gas portability.

9kg Gas Bottles vs 8.5kg Gas Bottle and 4kg Gas Bottle vs 3.7kg Small Gas Bottle
The supply of a nominal 9kg BBQ gas bottles with an 8.5kg gas bottle with gas was a bottled BBQ gas safety initiative of the Australian LPG gas bottle industry.
The same is true of the small gas bottles, the 4kg gas bottle being a 3.7kg gas bottle with gas. But why?
Unfortunately, there are many gas bottles for barbecues that are labelled as 9kg gas bottles or 4kg gas bottle that are actually manufactured undersize, with less than the labelled bottled BBQ gas capacity.
This is a result of the manufacturing and design variances amongst the many manufacturers of BBQ gas bottles that are imported, into Australia, from many countries around the world.
Surprisingly, Australia has no mandatory standard sizing for BBQ gas bottles, so they are all approved for sale.
Filling undersized BBQ gas bottle with BBQ gas refill to a full 9kg or 4kg fill, thus leaving less than 20% room for expansion (see image) and would create an overfill, which would be a major BBQ gas bottle safety issue.
Cold burns, fires and even possible explosion could result.
The solution was to take into account the BBQ gas bottle size variations and standardise the BBQ gas refill amount on 8.5kg gas bottle and 3.7kg small gas bottle with gas for BBQ gas bottle swap.
This allows for the small gas bottle variances between BBQ gas bottles and prevents any unsafe overfilling.
To make sure that consumers are fully informed, the gas bottles for barbecues are labelled accordingly.
