Refill Gas Bottle
I read about gas regulators failing and have always carried a large Camping Gaz 702 bottle to act as a back up, as it is avalible all over Europe. Wrong! Camping Gaz is avalible all over Europe but not nesseraly the large exchangable bottles, as I have just
found out. BUT and more importantly I also found out that there are maney places where they will refill the bottle for you. I am in Istria in Croatia and the bottle ran out. I could not exchange it but was told of two garages which have LPG for cars combined
with depots for gas bottles. One was in Porac and the other in Pula, I went to Pula as it was the bigger town and more likely to have what I needed. They had attachments to fit every type of gas bottle, so I could have filled my Calor Light bottle if needed.
The Camping Gaz bottle I did fill, which can cost £18 to exchange in the UK cost £2.60 to refill.
Has anyone found out about refilling UK gas bottles in other parts of Europe. It would save all the worry about which gas bottle and how many to take, if we can just get them refilled.
