If you can find a bottle from anywhere it's far far better.

TOP tip for you all, don't buy the green 'patio gas' bottles, they are just propane with a fancy valve so they can charge more. get an orange propane bottle and change your regulator on the BBQ, they are loads cheaper and the big bottles don't need a deposit

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Also, you can decant gas from a 47kg into a smaller bottle by joining the two with a flexi hose and tipping the big one upside down above it, the pressure will equalise and the liquid propane will flow into the small bottle. if you put the small one on some scales (tare it) and stop when it gets to the weight printed on the small bottle.

Swapped it for £18.99 down the road
