Sorry Rob , I have only got the 7 kg cylinders, but I like you never have been able to tell how much gas was left in each.

My empty one is definitely empty, and the full one has still got the plastic sealing cap on.

Hi, What you also have to consider is the ambient temperature? the LPG boils at an ambient temp that's why you hear a hiss when the gas is used from the cylinder, So if the temperature is low it would appear that you have run out of gas? say a cold night then at around midday when the sun is out you still get some gas out of the cylinder when you had thought it was empty.

Hmmm - so 7kg of gas weights 6kg - sounds like a con to me - I'd take it back & complain

The weight of the cylinder is stamped on the cylinder without gas. |

I'm resisting the temptation to go outside to check

I should add that my luggage scales cost me about £5- £6.

I think they will be collecting a lot of dust in the current climate? |

You will struggle to fit the bigger bottles in the gas locker.👍🏻 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

If you go onto the red gas bottles, they have a nifty gauge fitted at the top.
