Morrison’s now accepting Safefill
Hi everyone. A tweet from Kirsty at Morrisons confirms that they are on board with Safefill. Filling is now allowed at all their sites. Show the cylinder to the cashier and away you go. This is great news for those who use gas and want to save money.
Congratulations to Safefill for your dogged determination to bring this product to market against overwhelming odds! The first crack has appeared in the dam! Thanks to all those who wrote to Morrison’s to ask why they couldn’t fill and thanks to Morrison’s for approaching this with an open and enquiring mind to cut through the rumours lies and propaganda surrounding this exceptional product. It is a better world today for the LPG user.

I agree DD . There are other user/ owner cylinders but they are systems fitted into vehicles like Gaslow and Gas it. I don’t know of a caravan that has a fitted system. This is great news for caravanners who now have the same advantage, in this country at least, to be able to own and fill their own cylinders. From little acorns, large oak trees grow! Europe next! This news is ground breaking- the first Supermarket to recognise the Safefill Cylinder as safe . I can only imagine now that other outlets who have up to now refused to fill Safefills will see the error of their ways and fall into line. If the cylinder is covered by the ‘Red Guide’ and Morrison’s have accepted them, there really is no more argument to be made.

DD thanks , yes I realise but the argument is still the same . Safefills have been passed by Morrisons as safe- have the others? I don’t think so and until they are they will struggle to make their mark. Safefill has the approval of Morrisons- that tells me an awful lot.

Very good news, will fill my Safefill at Morrisons, Boroughbridge tomorrow.

DD, for goodness sake. I can’t stop you thinking what you like. This thread is about survival off grid and LPG is an important part of that. I’m not promoting Safefill- it’s the one I know best about that’s all! The fact is that Safefill(and others apparently) have had a hell of a fight to bring their cylinders to market. We all know who might have given them a fight don’t we? The fact that the little guy has done a David and Goliath should be welcomed and praised. Please feel free to ‘promote’ other makes - that is your prerogative but please don’t head butt me for bringing very good news to the forum. I neither ask for it or expect it! I am a Safefill user as are now thousands of caravaners and I’m sure they are very grateful. It may be that these other makes have passed all that Morrisons ask of them but I doubt it- and indeed some of them may be allowed to fill up on Autogas sites but I haven’t heard of anything and I haven’t noticed anything on the forum so I’m a little confused at your zealous promotion of other makes that I don’t know about or anyone else for that matter. Please, I would like to know the name of these makes and all the progress they have made- but it seems strange that way back in 2012 it was Safefill that sent shockwaves through the LPG industry on the continent and in this country when they introduced their valve. THEIR VALVE! As far as filling on the continent is concerned, one thing at a time eh? But I understand that with the adapters Safefills can be filled without problems on the continent and yes, I’m sure the other can as well!!

I’m no expert but Merve seems upfront in His backing of this company purely to help fellow LV’ers on & off grid. He’s had enough testimonials of thanks to prove it.
PS-I don’t LV nor use gas so keep me out of the crosshairs👍🏻😊

As a safefill user that’s good news Merve.
DD if I had a MH I would probably have a fixed Gaslow system fitted but I wouldn’t take umbrage if someone was keeping the community informed about a competitor(?) product. I’m pretty sure the club doesn’t look on this thread as advertising

DD- what is your problem?? You still accuse me of a falsehood- At least my posts are positive and of help to my fellow caravanners. It’s easy to sit there and snipe from the side lines. I notice that no other makes have been offered by your goodself??

I can only repeat JVB what DD has said. You have a date of manufacture and in the end it is up to you. Registration with Safefill would be a good idea. My first inspection is in 5 years time and I will have all 3 done together even though the other two were bought at a later date. I would imagine the cylinder undergoes a pressure test similar to a divers tank etc.

We have a fixed refillable system with the filling point in the side of the van right at the front, filling hose therefor goes directly into the front locker where the bottles are secured in the normal way.
We decided to go for a fixed system so there would be no problem with being allowed to fill anywhere.
As we tour and are usually not on a site for more than 8 days at a time, we have no problem filling en route.
Long trips abroad mean we get through more than we could carry of Calor type cylinders.

Followed this discussion quietly for some time. As one of my Calor light cylinders is now empty I am toying with the idea of a Safefill, not because I use a lot of gas, i don't but more with the practicalities of only carrying one cylinder. I'll keep watching and reading. Be interested to hear/ read if anyone has difficulties filling a Morrisons.
