A quick question for anyone who has a Lunar Clubman, Delta, 2017 Alaria.  I am looking at buying a small Safeflll bottle which I can source from a dealer.  He's told me that they are slightly fatter than a calorlite.

Can anyone confirm if it will fit.

    It should fit any c/van that has a front locker.

    Will you use enough gas to warrant the expence of setting up to use Safefill bottles,    with useing EHU on sites our calor lite lasts well over a year and that's with about 145 nights away

    I've gone through 3 Calorlites this year already and I doubt we will make it without a 4th doing a turkey crown in the oven.

    In principle it should fit, but it has a wider footprint than a calor bottle si before I buy I'm trying to see if I can get answers.  So far on the lunar facebook group, I've had 1 person tells me yes it fits with jiggling around and another who told me it didn't and they had to remove the floor mounted retainer and use 2 straps.

    You may have to remove the floor mounted "frame"but maybe it can be "altered to fit"

    According to safefill faq’s the cylinders are all 305 mm in diameter a foot. in old money.  I can’t believe it won’t fit or at least be made to fit.

    Looking at Calor's website  A light has a diameter of 246 and a standard propane or butane is 256.  So I just have to find an additional 49mm!
