    Customer services at Safefill are brilliant so you could ask them.  Someone posted one in the Hornsea area a while back so perhaps they will see your plea.  I have the large cylinder which just fits the locker so haven't had to worry so far.  There are a few near Lincoln but that won't help you much. Good luck I find the peace of mind great - being able to see when it needs a top up is a huge bonus.  It is NOT illegal to fill proper refillables that have the valve to prevent over filling.  I.e cut off at 80%.  We need to educate and stop the Calor/Flogas monopoly.  Have you looked in the tips for making caravanning cheaper threads to get more locations?  Lots of Safefill info there.

    The biggest problem with the single cylinder refillable is the filling station don't allow people to fill them because you can buy the adaptors off EBay to fill your Calor Gas cylinder. Some even paint them a different colour. So to stop any agro staff are
    told not to allow anyone to do it. You would be better fitting an external filling point that way you can just pull up and fill. As usual though it's the few that spoil it for the rest.

    Hi, the petrol station at JB motors in Malton (Wentworth Street) will allow refilling of Safefills. I've recently bought a Safefill medium sized cylinder and filled it there after asking.
