RPi Are now importing Brand new, ultra-safe, refillable LPG/Propane Bottles manufactured exclusively in Belgium by ‘Prakto’ and now available in the UK.

Please note that the prices of LPG were correct at time of publishing this web page.
 

Are you?

  • Wondering how much gas is left in your bottle & exchanging it half full because you're not sure if you have enough left to last?
  • Paying inflated prices for your ‘exchange’ gas bottles? (as used on your RV, Boat, Caravan, Cooker, Barbecue, Heater or Heating, etc.) - they don’t tell you that a regular 12.8KG bottle only holds approx £4.00 of gas. ie 20 litres.
  • We are wondering then, why an exchange bottle that more often than not only needs topping up, costs £12.00 - £14.00.
  •  
    Here you can see Brand New Refillable Gas bottles, with the following features:
       
  • Unique 4-hole bottles which include a level gauge and overpressure valve.

  • Outlet & filler port that will accept all filler connection options

  • Come complete with R67-01 certificate as required for automotive cylinder tanks, and include all the same safety features.


  • Savings will mount up very soon but you also have your own bottle to take care of and to sell if you no longer have a need for it.


  • You can fill these Bottles at any LPG filling station (over 1200 in the UK alone) Or from your own Propane/LPG tank or storage device.
  •  
    Compare this to the Standard Exchange bottles that have:
     
     
  • No level gauge
  •  
     
  • A very small over-pressure valve
  •  
     
  • Are not refillable by customer
  •  
     
  • Have no safety certificate or safety guarantee
  •  
     
  • Could be up to ten years old, during which time, they may have substantial damage caused during transport, use or storage.
  •  

     

     
    So what Bottles/Tanks can you offer me?
     

    We offer most of the tanks in two options:

    Vapour Take off or Liquid take off.

    Why two types you find yourself ask? Well Liquid take off Bottles/Tanks are usually used powering automotive vehicles. Where as vapour take off Bottles/Tanks are used in your BBQ's, Motor home appliances, Boat house ect.
