Gas cylinders or bottles

Information about gas cylinders:

LPG cylinders can contain either butane, largely for indoor use, or propane, which is more suited to outdoor uses. Most gas companies which supplied them retains legal ownership and responsibility for the cylinder throughout its life.

If a cylinder contains a gas other than LPG (propane or butane) the company that owns the cylinder, whose name should be somewhere on the cylinder, is likely to retain legal ownership and responsibility for it. For further advice on non-LPG cylinders, visit the British Compressed Gas Association website (http://www.bcga.co.uk/pages/index.cfm) for advice.

Camping Gaz - the larger bottles supplied by Camping Gaz are refillable - models R 907 (2.75kg butane), ‎R 904 (1.8kg butane), and ‎R 901 (400g butane). The smaller cartridges are disposable. The refillable models can be exchanged but the legal responsibility for these and the cartridges isn't retained by Camping Gaz, so they are able to be offered on Freegle.
