We have had a safe fill for about three years now. Best investment. I reckon I might fit a diesel heater as a backup and plumb it into the vent pipes the same as gadget John has done. Good info though. If you go abroad you can get a kit off Amazon that has all the attachments for the different LPG pumps on the continent All the best and take care 💙❤️👍
Great money saving tip, we don't have self serve LP, they have to inspect the old bottle before they refill and the bottled have an expiration date, so I started using the LP bottle exchange, most gas stations have one and there always open , I wish we had self serve LP too. All the Best
Hi buddy hope your well. Yes these bottles have been specifically devoloped for refilling yourself due to the price of exchanges on bottles. It's now a third of the price. They pay for themselves after about 4 refills. It was £35 it's now £9 so a heck of a saving.
Ey up simon, thanks for that bud, I've had a safe fill bottle in my hallway for about 5 months now never used it yet so that was very helpful, hope your all well mate and take care, cheers bud 😊👍
Thanks for that something me and hubby are going to think about just need to check where I can refill them near me. I love your camper light wanted to get hubby one for valentines and I have just found them on Etsy so happy stay safe
Hi shaz hope your both well. There's maps online for lpg I do know she'll garages are taking them out in favour of more space for electric charging points but lpg is available all over the UK. If you get one it pays for itself after about 5 refills.
I have one of these. Have had issues with it overfilling. The company blamed the pumps at the garage 🙄. The automatic cut off didn't work and I had some scary moments with my gas stove! 😳 It seems okay now though and they are definitely a better option than swapping cylinders for £35 or whatever it is. 😏
Will be visiting the supplier you used for a safe fill once lockdown is lifted. Had me worried as your video started playing with the sound off and the TH-cam text said this is Smithy and the Con Turkey 🤣.
Hi buddy its my Lancashire accent 🤣youtube must think we are foreign. Yes the service I received was second to none could do enough and explained everything to me.
Hi Stephen, do you mean to buy the bottle or fill it? The nearest to buy it is extra gas in Eccles Manchester. If you rang they may meet you but to fill one I use pye motors garage but there's Morrisons have it. One you buy the bottle it's yours forever sell the van you take it with you. And filling it for £9 I can leave the heater on all day.
Hi hope your both well. Yes safe fill gas saves a fortune, and you take it with you when you sell the van or caravan. Also you can use it for the patio heater at home and the barbecue so it's great all round.
Cracking video Simon. Couple of questions if you can answer. Have you just bought the bottle outright and if so how much was it. Do you always go to the same filling station for your van, car and LPG Has anyone given you any grief filling the bottle out in the open - quite a few places won’t let you do that All the best mate Dave
Hi captain, I think it was £170 for the bottle and filled with gas. I use any garage but they do get to know you at all these local places after a while. I always ask first do you mind if I fill a safe fill bottle and they have all heard of them and not had a problem.
I didn't realise they were auto shut off, and they appear so light. I have two of the gaslow bottles with the auto changeover valve. I was wondering if the connector pipes from mine could be used to connect two of the safefill bottles together as mine when empty seem heavier than yours when full. the weight saving as well as the cost would be tremendous ?.
I did look into both systems buddy. And safe fill gas after a lot of research came out on top. There fibreglass see through there are so many benifits to safe fill. And there's apps for lpg and as you have seen £9 at the dearest garage for ten kg of gas.
Not had a problem. They all know what a safefil bottle is. I know shell are doing away with lpg. But up north there's plenty. There are apps to find lpg.
Hi, a lot of garages wouldn’t like you filling a free standing bottle gas safe or not. We have 2 8kg bottles and you are dead right about the fitment they just fit in the gas locker and like you have saved a fortune.
@@SMITHYSKONTIKI well thought out and I never thought about that approach. Now I am looking for a safe fill for our house cooker instead of that £130 bottle. Thanks again.
Going to try and upload a video tonight mate looking round our van mate .. and the safe fill im wanting one or an adapter for safe fill .. where do they sell safe fill gas bottles mate
Hi buddy yes go for it with the video. There's no adapter you either have a safe fill bottle or you don't. My bottle was £176 in Manchester it's on a video. I made they won't let you fill anything else.
@@SMITHYSKONTIKI there's a bloke on youtube called PAUL FINGLAS he done a video with safe fill fill up point and an adapter for normal gas bottle .. .. I just thought get the adapter and save some 2ps lol ..
Hi buddy remember it's totally against the law. The fine is unlimited, there's no choice safe fill or go to a dealer and swop your bottle buddy. Please stay safe. And filling an ordinary bottle is so against the law mate.
Love my safefill bottles i have 2x 10kg bottles best thing I ever did the guns are a pain my garage has different type than you used thats horrible I keep complaining hopefully they will fit a new one lol
Hi pal hope your well and warm in this weather. Yes after a few refills that's when the savings come in and we can just leave the heating on and I'm not thinking about the cost anymore.
@@SMITHYSKONTIKI iam using a bottle a week on full heating and hot water but I have it going 27/7 the other bottle is cooking and lasts months so loving the saving ive made money back already as ive had them a year
Hi Leo hope your well, iv only ever used the paid version of filmora it's just so easy to use does the job and once I paid its for life free updates for ever.
Hi Ray your right under normal use and I should of turned it off. Although safe fill bottles don't allow gas to escape unless you attach a pipe. It's more safe than people think.
Subscribe its free. Thankyou.
Hi Simon. Ive my safe fill for 3 years love it and has now paid fir its self. Thanks Phil👍
Hi Phil. My thoughts exactly it will soon pay for itself, yes it's expensive to start with but then the savings are massive.
We have had a safe fill for about three years now. Best investment.
I reckon I might fit a diesel heater as a backup and plumb it into the vent pipes the same as gadget John has done. Good info though. If you go abroad you can get a kit off Amazon that has all the attachments for the different LPG pumps on the continent All the best and take care 💙❤️👍
Hi John, yes iv seen the attachments, I'm toying with a diesel heater or thinking of one but might just get a generator not sure yet buddy.
Great money saving tip, we don't have self serve LP, they have to inspect the old bottle before they refill and the bottled have an expiration date, so I started using the LP bottle exchange, most gas stations have one and there always open , I wish we had self serve LP too. All the Best

Hi Mark thanks for watching. Safe fill gas is the best investment I made for my van buddy and filling it for £9 is now paying me back.
@@SMITHYSKONTIKI 😊👍
Thanks smithy you’re reply was very helpful.
Thanks Stephen, one can only do ones best buddy.

Hi smithy great video's,can i ask you how much is it now to fill your safe fill gas bottle and what kg is it keep the video's coming thanx 😉
Hi nina well to swap ordinary bottles was £45 now with lpg it's £8 to fill up so a great saving each time
Nice Simon m8 really good of you to share these things brilliant m8 stay safe 👍 me old mucker.
Thankyou sir, I did say whilst we are not allowed out I would try and entertain the best way I could. 😊
I have one of these. Have had issues with it overfilling. The company blamed the pumps at the garage 🙄. The automatic cut off didn't work and I had some scary moments with my gas stove! 😳 It seems okay now though and they are definitely a better option than swapping cylinders for £35 or whatever it is. 😏
Not had any problems with mine. But yes it's going to pay for itself after a few refills.
Probably a good idea to get yourself a proper spanner, to avoid rounding off the hex on the fitting.
Might just do that iv lost 2 adjustables need some string lol

I heard that Morrisons are stopping the lpg pumps
Would not be without our refillables. Paid for themselves easily.
Hi dave hope your both well. Exactly mine is now paying me back as a full gas bottle is now £9 for 10kg. As opposed to £45 which is what I was paying.
That’s got to be on the ‘I’ll think about it’ list !!

Where did you get the bottle from?
Hi David hope your well. I bought it from Eccles Manchester a while ago and the filled it for me. Extra gas in Eccles.
Don't think we use enough gas , if we did, would go for Safe Fill, thanks for sharing👍Mark
Hi hope your both well. The good thing is my heating is from gas so now we when allowed out😂can just leave it on cheap as chips.
Hiya pal do you get a whiff of gas when you unplug the hose from the bottle when you've finished filling it up or does it deal itsen straight away
Hi buddy. Yes there is some gas escape when you disconnect the hose but no more than the smell of petrol until you put the cap on.
Hi mate where did you get safefill gas bottle from name of place please
Hi buddy it was from Manchester not sure now I just googled it think its called Manchester gas not to sure now. Sorry mate.
There isn't a safefill station anywhere near me! How have you got on with places that don't allow refilling bottles?
Not had a problem. They all know what a safefil bottle is. I know shell are doing away with lpg. But up north there's plenty. There are apps to find lpg.

Hi dee hope your well. I got mine from Eccles in Manchester. I made a video of where I got mine. Manchester gas.

Why does my safe fill smell in the van? Iv checked everything but it still smells of gass??? Any help?
Hi kevan I'm not sure mate one thing if you can smell gas there has to be a leak buddy. I'd get it pressure tested.
Hi I hope you are ok which program do you use to edit your videos pls
Hi Leo hope your well, iv only ever used the paid version of filmora it's just so easy to use does the job and once I paid its for life free updates for ever.
Thanks I done 3 video on TH-cam call ( wilma kontiki ) and I dont think they are great
@@mrleobrincat il take a look buddy
How much are the bottles?
Hi Russell hope your well. I think it was £170 or there abouts but soon pays for itself and they filled it up buddy.
How much to buy the bottle cheers
About £180 roughly for that size 👍
Hi Stephen yes it was about 180 but 4 or 5 refills at 9 pound each as opposed to 45 soon pays for itself.
You're supposed to switch the valve off first before releasing the trigger. Or else the gas is going to escape.
Hi Ray your right under normal use and I should of turned it off. Although safe fill bottles don't allow gas to escape unless you attach a pipe. It's more safe than people think.
Don’t forget the 200quid to buy it in the first place
it does pay for itself in the long run mine was 159 i think but 4 fill ups you get your money back
