The Amended Red Guide re User owns cylinders!!

I attack no one Easy and I absolutely  agree with you that the new Red Guide does nothing but address safety issues around filling cylinders but that is the point- cylinders of the correct construction and if the retailer wants to supply the LPG in the first place, are now able to be filled whereas before, the Red Guide and the Sht 26 made it absolutely clear that it was illegal to fill cylinders . That was because Safefill had not appeared in the market place and it was assumed- quite rightly that all cylinders were of the rental type. Safefill arrived and everyone was thinking that it was still illegal to fill cylinders!! We saw it with blanket bans on filling cylinders didn’t we? UKLPG have been quite happy to allow the old Sht 26 to remain on the web and I have my own opinions as to why. However, Safefill through PELG has changed the landscape and this generation and future generations should be thanks whether you use one or not. I have to say that the previous debacle on this subject was pretty in my face! I was virtually called a liar because I couldn’t provide a link to the new Red Guide. It wasn’t even published at the time- written but no published! I was aghast that some were prepared to dismiss my offerings even though Morrisons , a major supermarket had broken the mould and partnered Safefill- that I did find incredible and it was obvious that it was not worth carrying  on talking to brick walls. So now I am proved right. I am glad for the fact that I and my fellow caravanners and Motorhomers now have choice. It’s a leap forward. IMHO it can only lead to a virtual blanket acceptance of ‘properly constructed cylinders’ just give it time!!

I was talking about steel cylinders.
