James Watt Dock on the Clyde.
My freezer is full of food!
Fill your bottles after a good pigout then.....
Absolutely, the tare weight. However I'm a bit of a pedant weighing things and I think it is a bit of a faff trying to weigh on digital scales AS you are filling..... the pipe might be pushing down or lifting the cylinder etc and disconnecting it to find exactly how much you have filled is a pain. So I quite like the water method. And I still weigh afterwards.
My doner is a 47Kg Flogas bottle.
If you want to get away from Calor you'll need to stop buying from Calor.
Works for me-when negative bouyancy is achieved its done. Checking the weight shows it is not quite full, so well safe.
The larger donor bottles work out at less than half the price than a 3.9 Propane.

Kip have them in stock (£26 I think), so just swapped back from Flogas to Calor. Looks like Calor is going to be more available than Flogas this year.
Sad but true. This is how monopolies work and we've seen a textbook playout in these forums with most choosing to stick with Calor, preventing competition from forming. It's all been very British though, demanding that the punishments continue and then complaining about it
We only use perhaps 2 x 4.5kg a year, wish it was more, since that would mean more sailing. When I hopefully get more time for sailing, I may go the DIY refilling route (well away from the house!). Our marina was kind to take the Flogas in exchange for a Calor at no cost. I still have a Flogas, so will keep both with both regulators for more flexibility going forward.Sad but true.

If i still had gas (new boat is all electric) i would rather poke wasps up an orifice with a sharp stick than "go back" to Calor.Sad but true.
