Calor gas shortage

[Rec]

Finally got my 3.9kg gas bottle exchanged. Been trying since end April....the dealer ( in suffolk) says he has been assured by calor gas that supplies will be back to "normal" very soon. He did however cross his fingers and sink when he said it....had this info several times in past two years!

The retailer said he had been given many excuses and never really got to the bottom of it. ...lack of bottles, lots needing upgrading, too many motorhomes, COVID...!! Then Ukraine was mentioned. It's been an ongoing problem countrywide. Get the larger 13kg and a few 6kg but they have been getting big orders delivered as just a couple of bottles. He actually recommended changing to flogas as they have been ok!

Leclerc lpg price has risen just over 10c to 83.9c per litre since our last refill 2.5 weeks ago. However, the Leclerc in the next town, less than 10 miles away, still had lpg at the old price of 72.8c per litre. Presume they don't sell quite as much ...

I bought an adapter off eBay and now refill my own cylinder at an autogas pump. Much cheaper..

Sold my 2 propane 13kgs bottles, 3 weeks later my son buys a motorhome. Guess what, he can't get propane bottles dooh...

If the cylinder is not a proper refillable one with an 80% cut off this is very dangerous.

Ukraine sounds like a load of tosh…no problems getting lpg in Italy.

Absolutely no problem getting calor gas bottles at Warner's Motorhome Shows, the last one this year is next weekend at Lincoln
