I would still like to see the thread you saw online saying Repsol are getting rid of them, just to pass on to the Repsol rep.

Yes, it was in Arboleas Life. On 4th April in that FaceBook site, Alan Pearce posted: "Repsol gas man delivered to me today. Only the blue top light weight gas bottles available. The man told me the heavy bottles are being stopped".

So that was a misunderstanding then?
Odd that something on a Facebook page would be incorrect 🤣

Does anyone know why so many used cars have the word Live covering up the registration number.
I have tried to find out if it is a auction site but cannot find out any thing at all

the issue here is checking out the manufacturer's spec for the appliance  , if the appliance goes pop and propain was not on the usable gas speq ,the insurance co and appliance manufacturer will walk away .....

so check your specs 

Be good, to know if propane can be used on junkers boilers

Thanks Tets -

Yes, the booklet for our Junkers Hydro 4200 does specifically mention propano as well as butano...

... as does the booklet for our Campingaz mobile heater.... I did, however, notice the comment: "En Francia, se prohibe totalmente utilizar otro gas que no sea el Butano"....

so maybe we should keep it on 'Low' if we do use it with Propane.

Congratulations to Israel on dropping a 1000 lb bomb on a tented refugee camp where Palestinians are taking shelter. 45 dead and hundreds wounded. One child on tv with an arm blown off.
Oh by the way the IDF say it was a precision strike on two Hamas terrorists.
Very precise ??
No need for comments , it's just an observation.

The Dunlop's were something else.
I hope Michael has a safe rally this year.
Wonderful week in the IOM and some great pubs.

From a bbq forum.....

Butane burns cleaner than propane as it will only produce carbon dioxide when lit. Energy Efficient – Compared to propane, butane usually produces around 12% more energy than propane when the same volume of each gas is burned. This makes butane particularly attractive to those who light up their BBQ a few times a week.
