Morrison’s now accepting Safefill
Comments

Yes, very funny! I’m cracking up!! I have said many times that Safefill is the one system I understand. I have not been promoting Safefill, I’ve been promoting cheaper ways of doing things- and I will continue to do so! - it just happens that Safefill fits that brilliantly- and I have followed the ups and downs of Safefill for about 5 years. It is remarkable that Safefill is still here and we are all not paying hugely inflated prices for our gas! It is remarkable to me that some people are not glad or excited about a new innovator that breaks the mound of the old guard but would rather have a go at someone who is bringing good news to the forum. I certainly do not mean to advertise Safefill on the forum and DD is shouting about other makes and other ‘direct fill’ cylinders and yet he has failed to bring to peoples attention by not even naming them. All you can do is snipe at folk who are trying to help and educate newbies etc on here. It’s you that has the problem, not me! I am still waiting for info re other makes???? Old women or what!!

Merve, don’t stress it👍🏻. Some folk get real enjoyment from attacking others, it’s sad but true. You & I will never be BFF’s but I respect your stance, your choice & your attempts(now successful👍🏻) to start breaking up the stranglehold of the overchargers. Keep on keeping on continue the crusade brush aside the detractors.
PS-to the detractors-I have not now nor ever held shares in Merve👍🏻😂

Good as these self refillable ,level shut-off protected, LPG bottles are technically I repeat what I have said elsewhere, you have to be mindful of the market place.
As far as I know there are no manufacture supported LPG domestic vehicles presently being imported to the UK, there are only private imports and conversions.
I don't see that as being adequate to retain the amount of forecourt LPG pumps, and I certainly don't see our market demand taking over that role of retaining them. So, as I have seen locally LPG equipped forecourts are disappearing, hardly a difficult business decision to understand.
Before investing in self refillable it is in my opinion wise to take a view as to where and for how long you believe we will have access to LPG to refill them.
If that is a negative view so be it but it is a pragmatic one unless money means nothing, and my take on it is not one I would choose. I want a refillable but at every turn my options to practically refill one evaporate.

Gaslows “Direct is a stand alone take to pump bottle as the SF but does not benefit from the lighter composite construction.

Now now Boys and Girls! Peace! Merve has helped me save a lot of money one way and another with all his helpfulness - and yes I have bought a Safefill. Merve talks about Safefills as do I because we don't know anything much of the other systems. It is obviously possible to fit other systems into caravans - however it is also a lot more expensive - it may also be easier to convince forecourt staff that fixed is safer than carrying round a lose cylinder. So it really is very good news that Morrisons are accepting Safefills and possibly other free standing refillables? I also understand that Morrison's have been lobbied by Safefill - and NO I don't have shares in them either but it is in my interest to let other people know they exist - as the more customers the more outlets there should be
The Safefill cylinders by the way are checked after 10 years.

I would like to know where you are going to have them inspected, as I have 2 with 2022 dates on them! My last conversation with Safefill was that they had no intention of setting up an inspection scheme. So after 10 years you throw them away and buy new ones from them!! Unless you want to set up a business inspecting Safefill cylinders, by then there should be quite a few out there needing inspection.

I have had no issues getting filled in Spain, France or the Netherlands. I haven't tried else where. Only one odd thing in Spain they wouldn't fill them unless they were inside the car!

We have gas it and fill at the pump Morrisons 😊

I do hope this is the case. I've learned to be cautious about tweets until there's an official statement on the website of the company concerned. Especially when the tweet is at the weekend
Please can this thread be updated with success stories. I'm unlikely to invest as the payback time is too long for me but it would be good to know for sure

Don't hold your breath.......
I've previously asked for clarification of how much recertification costs and where Safefill cylinders have to be taken or posted to for this......
Safefill is happily advertised, sorry, promoted on here but this issue is dodged....?

Rushallmanor- I am not surprised that you have had little difficulty as Safefill export their cylinders to the continent. Thanks for clearing that up!
As regards the retesting of Cylinders, firstly, the 10yrs time line is only a recommendation by Safefill and has no basis in law. A leisure cylinder is not covered by the regulations anyway and for the reason no doubt that how do you police it.? Let’s look at this problem. The last thing I am worried about in 10years time is getting my Safefills - if I even decide to get my them tested. What concerns me more is will I be around in 10 yrs time!!
I will have had the cylinders for 10 years minimum- in that time I will have saved hundreds and hundreds of pounds against what I would have done -ie - had rental cylinders. If I decide after 10 years to dispose of it and buy another, am I going to worry about it? No! I will have probably saved 10 times what the cylinder cost me so I’m really not bothered. However, if someone set up in business testing and recertifying them and it was cheaper than buying a new cylinder then I would have to consider it. Otherwise, a new cylinder would adorn my locker. The Safefill is a convenience- a method of having gas at a far reduced price- it doesn’t suit everyone and I’ve said that many times. I have also said why I would have one even if my gas consumption was far less- I resent having to pay such high rental prices and I would bring to an end the ripoff element!! However, if Gaslow suits you or Gas it or Alugas or any other user /owner cylinder you come across - that’s fantastic and I’m pleased for you.
However, for me, I am an advocate of Safefill because I use them and have found them brilliant and extremely functional in that they offer so much more than a rental cylinder in weight reduction, being able to see what gas you have etc etc. It is far more appealing to me to purchase a new cylinder after 10 years than to pay approx £18 for the container every time I swapped one with Calor for instance. Quite frankly, if the SF cylinders I own don’t last far more than 10 years I will be very surprised! So in conclusion, I don’t give a toss about the 10 yr figure- it’s a recommendation only and I will cross that bridge when I get to it. - if I get to it! 😂🤣
As regards trusting tweets. You can trust this one!!

I had a feeling that you wouldn’t be happy DD. Why do you always have to start a reply with an insult?? A long tirade? You asked me for my opinion!! You talk generally about LPG cylinders. If you had read my post you - something you have accused me of- you would have seen that I was referring specifically to Leisure Cylinders. Do the research and you will find that I am 100% correct. It’s OK - I wouldn’t expect you to come back and agree with me so you’re safe!! I’m out of here. I hope folk have been able to glean something from what I have been posting. Thanks to all who have had a kind word. Life is too short for all this angst🤣🤣🤣

DD, you are cross examining an ordinary member of this forum as if He is the CEO of Safefill. That is unfair, you are now bordering on hounding/stalking, attacking Merve’s every reply. Pseudo judiciary has no place on a friendly forum surely.
Apologies to Merve for the post but I can see the attempted manipulation here & it’s not nice☹️

what did TW call DD's questioning method - haranguing ?

As you know I have no interest in Safefill but recognise that this thread and others has been a great source on information for the many that do.

You obviously went to the wrong places then DD. Where you will have trouble is Italy but even there, off the beaten track it can be done. Portugal used to be the easiest place to fill up, you used to even be able to fill UK Calor bottles there.

nobody has said this yet but not all morrisons supermarkets have the facility to refill any cylinder of any make. my 2 nearest ones do not so hoping that the trend will change with all others. DD, why is your glass always half empty. stop criticizing everyone, you must be a pain to live with. chill.

I have a fixed Gaslow system and have never been refused gas except in Italy where it is illegal to use the attended LPG pumps for anything other than engine fuel. (self service at LPG pumps is not allowed) I have been refused gas in Spain once but the attendant eventually relented and topped me up. Where I have had problems in Spain is with lack of pump pressure to overcome the stop valve on my adapter. Now I know about this my next trip will be with an Autogas adapter which does not have a stop valve unlike a Gaslow valve.
I have not been to Portugal for a few years but filling anything was never a problem then especially at a gas depot.
