    Also need to shake the small canisters a bit when it's cold. One bull sale we had to keep shaking the 9kg bottle to run the bbq

    Yes, but there is a certain amount in the gas form sitting on top. You dont want to transfer in in gas form as that requires energy change to convert to gas in the donor cylinder and another energy change to convert back to liquid in the other can. This usually shows up as icing which can freeze the tap open.

    No, in my line I often work through the night because it's quiet and systems are not in use. Longest stretch was Monday to Friday with one hours sleep. The wee-est one is 14; I'm tooo young to have a youngest 14!

    That explains the hours!

    But these days saying it is a bit like saying engineer-doesn't tell anyone what you actually do!

    Funny you should say that. I'm more qualified as an engineer than for IT.

    Do you want the jet boil ones (100gr)? , Do you want them for filling as I got a coulple here that have only a 1/4 gas in them . You can have .Tower Junction your best bet , I'm pretty sure Macpac do . If its not them the other 5 outdoor shops will.

    Its worked for me many times. If you a bit of research on the internet you will find that this is the way that most if not all do it.

    Think about how you refill a 'refilable lighter', you plug in the nozle then flip up-side down and press to enable the transfer of liquid. Same principal here.

    We have the same problem here GM. Shops only stock the 230g which don't fit inside the billy like the 110g
    Luckily another forum member found a supply of the small ones in 09 land. Cheers Doubleshot
