LPG gas flow rate stupid question

[Dannypipe]

I never said it was dangerous!

I just said bulk should be cheaper....but it sounds like it's not for the OP. The trouble with bulk tank is you often get tied in to having to get your gas from the tank supplier. So you can't shop around.

Steady on danny, no one said you did

Good point!

a 47 kg gas bottle holds 92 litres, and cost me £49, so works out at about 53p litres

avanti wanted 56p per litre

Where do you by your gas from? Its minimum £70 a bottle in east anglia. 0.77p per litre.

i have 2 set up at the mo, got the gear to set up 4, just wanted to know why it use 1 in 4/5 days

all pipe work went in new, as the old stuff was condemed, there is about 1.5 m of gas pipe work at most

Could easily get through a bottle a week with the cold weather we have been getting.

I think there's a bit too much scaremongering going on in this thread. The OP has said that the boiler and cylinder set up were installed by the same guy. Surely we can assume that he was gas safe unless otherwise told. All the OP wanted was to know if his gas consumption was about right and you've scared them half to death.

I didnt mean to scare anybody and never said his install was dangerouse, just letting him know of the importance of siting so he knows if his cylinders are fine even if the installer fitted them or not. again appologies for apparantly scaremongering..
