I'm not sure but my gas man mate says it's the equivalent after it's pumped from the red bottles. That's from those big 47 kg ones :D
I'll find out how much we're getting them for tomorrow, but I've got a source from another friend who buys a lot for his forklift and his retail :sly

47kg bottle should get about 90litres of gas I think. So my mate must still be getting his bottles for around £45 :augie
Tell you tomorrow :thumbs

well 47 Kg is the weight of the gas and water is 1 Kg = 1 litre, I think liquid gas is a little lighter than water, so shall we say 47 Kg = 60 litres so that makes it £1.00 a litre approx, Rick

Just googled LPG kg per litre and got this :nenau
1 Kg = 1.985 litres
0.512 Kg = 1 litre

Be interesting to see what the current price is like....LPG on the forecourt is around 75-79p inc about 17p duty, so that would imply bottled gas to be around the 60p mark, possibly more in view of the extra handling costs?

And by the way, don't get stopped will you.:augie

I'd like to see them dip my LPG tank :lol
I don't think there's a way to tell if lpg from duty free red bottles is physically any different from forecourt stuff:nenau:sly

That makes a difference = about 65p per litre at £60 per 47 Kg Rick

well its a teeny weeny issue TBH isn't it.....but with SVO, technically you're supposed to keep receipts to evidence no more then 2500 litres per annum purchased......so I spose if you got a spiteful one that wanted to check.....

You know I have to be right ALL THE TIME! :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

If you think I'm heaving that dirty great monster gas bottle all the way upstairs to the lady's chamber just to weigh the bugger, dream on :doh
So using my cunning I goggled the conundrum and can confirm the 47kg logo emblazoned to said cylinder IS infact the weight of the gas inside.:D So there:p
