Gas Cylinder Charges
When you purchase gas from us in a cylinder, you’ll be charged a ‘cylinder charge’ for each cylinder. This is because it will remain our property, and it is being provided to you only to use the gas supplied. When the cylinder is empty, you can simply exchange it for a pre-filled cylinder or return the empty cylinder to us.
You can return your gas cylinder for any cylinder within the same category. Please note that if you are returning a cylinder and wish to buy one belonging to a different category, a charge will be applied.

Ensure the cylinder valve is closed. A spanner is required to unscrew and disconnect the regulator. Position the spanner over the brass hexagon nut and then turn clockwise/right hand to loosen and remove the regulator.
These cylinders are supplied in standard red or in green leisure gas cylinders.
Standard Red:
A variety of pressure regulators or hose assemblies can be connected to the cylinder valve, but the regulator connection is the same – UK POL 5/8” LH male. First, ensure the POL thread is clean and undamaged and then offer up to the cylinder valve.
The connection is left hand to tighten, right hand to disconnect. Care should be taken to select the correct direction! A spanner will be required to ensure gas soundness is achieved by the final firm ‘nip’ to tighten onto the valve thread. It is advisable to perform a leak test with a simple soap solution. If bubbles form around the valve, consider tightening the nut further but not with excessive force.
If bubbles continue to form, it would be advisable to replace the regulator as permanent damage will have been caused to the POL. Once the regulator has been connected the cylinder valve can be turned on.
Green Leisure:
The connection or disconnection of the regulator for this cylinder is the same as for butane cylinders. The only difference is the cylinder valve size which in this instance is 27mm. Proceed as instructed for butane cylinder connection or disconnection.
All cylinders have a tare weight disk showing the weight of the cylinder, we then fill the bottle to the required amount it can hold. To check how much gas is remaining we would recommend using scales.
For example the total weight of a 13kg cylinder is 25kg – the bottle weighs 12kg and the gas weighs 13kg.
To check how much gas is remaining, place the bottle on a scale and check the weight. In this example, if the scales show 14kg, the original bottle weight was 12kg, so this would mean there is 2kg of gas left in the cylinder.
If you bottle is empty and you wish to either return it or order a new one you can do this either through the website shop or your account.
Simply choose the bottle you wish to order and when prompted, select yes where it says ‘Do you have a cylinder to return’. You can also check previous orders in your account if you’re unsure which cylinder you have.
You can swap your gas cylinder for any cylinder within the same category. There is no charge when swapping a cylinder within the same category.
