One of the main ones I usually stop at told me they wouldn't have any for 'at least 6 days' this was on Saturday. Managed to fill up somewhere else though and didn't think too much of it at the time. Have to say I have never known a station to run out until now so shows something must be up! |

Just goes to show how poor our reserves are. I understand what we have is bieng held over for heating. Here in Devon supplies have been exhausted for 2 to 3 weeks now. 90% of garages in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset I would say have run out. |

Calor in Exeter is the cheapest I have found in this area, wish it was just a bit closer! Oakhampton is in between and is usually around 60p - I try and go there as a protest for the price BP Barnstaple charge! For the Calor depots to have no LPG available really does demonstrate how tight supplies must be - I presume they have it on site but are holding it back (I wonder if the Dept of energy can make them do that?). |

I don't think there is a problem getting LPG for household use (heating etc), just for cars....... |

Do you? How I would love to be able to do that, it would change everything! My own fuel depot and no longer having to drive an hour to the nearest LPG station (which I still do). Is your tank solely for this use or do you use it for heating also? Is it legal to have the ability to fill a car from it? I would be happy to install one at the house just for my car, I don't suppose anyone filling it would know I am on oil central heating - would they notice an attachment to fill up a car and be concerned? Sorry a lot of questions, but you have peaked my curiosity/interest! |

Used to fill our boat up from it now just forklifts and cars. You can get them but it’s not easy I hear had this for around 20 years now. We have to pay a yearly charge on the tank and pump. The attachment is just a screw in adaptor can be removed after every fill up. |
