Maybe you better tell us about yours, as I've never seen any :) > Better also tell us about the scales at the servo where you fill your > BBQ bottles... A very good case in point here Oz. BBQ bottles are filled neither by weight *or* litre, but buy whatever the servo attendant thinks is "full", and that can vary quite a bit depending on how busy he is at the time. Either way, you pay a set fee for a varying quantity. I use quite a bit of LPG around the home, for garage heating, the BBQ, soldering and what have you. I have half a dozen 9kg bottles, and I fill them myself from the 100 litre "plumbers" bottle I fill at the local autogas bowser in the back of my ute. Costs around 32 bucks to do it that way, compared to 150 bucks to have 45kg of gas put in it at the proper refil station or have the truck come out and fill it. > Better explain that guage on the tanker that measures in litres and > the invoices that arrive where I'm charged in litres for the fills. You really have no concept of the world outside your little domain, do you? -- Regards, Noddy.

You can have them filled on site as I said, but they charge you for the 45kg fill, not the amount of litres that goes into the bottle. They also charge you for "domestic Gas" at the kilogram rate rather than the regular "lpg" litre rate, and on their scale that works out to around a buck fifty per litre. I have a small forklift, and have no trouble lifting the bottle in & out of my ute to fill it up and 47 cents per litre thanks :) -- Regards, Noddy.

I get anywhere between 85 & 100 litres into mine at the local servo, depending on the quality of the "autogas" mix they have available at the time. -- Regards, Noddy.

Pretty amusing. Almost as funny as saying they used a pulsed mig to weld stainless :) -- Regards, Noddy. |
