think you should be able to burn off the gas and send the bottle in for a refund, ive got one connected to my bottle atm which is ok and a spare one on the van that i spose will need returning, ill ask at the merchants when i next go in. Has anyone actuly had this happen yet?

 

[bob the plumber]

you would think the merchants would be contacting anyone who they have sold to? i have 2 bottles dated before jan 15th and a superfire 2 which it also says isnt right if im reading correctly, wouldnt mind getting that sent back, its had better days

I think it just means any sf2's bought with a mapp bottle

 

[dancinplumba]

i bought a box load ages ago of the mapp gas and i got a letter today telling me to return/burn off any i have left

 

[marleyco]

If I'm reading it correct, its just the yellow they are recalling, last 3 blue bottles I've had have been leaking, so have to leave burner on to stop it, I got a sf2 torch in December too,which was a replacement for the other new one which was passing gas,

 

[dancinplumba]

my letter states MAP-PRO,PROPYLENE AND MAPP, yellow or black
lot codes on the bottom starts with W_D,W_E,W_F,W_G,W_H,W_J,W_K,W_L
all form 2004 onwards.
if they have black or white diamondon the cylinder shoulder are not affected

I had a mapp bottle kept in the shed which I used for occasional brazing. Before Christmas I found it was empty, and thought at the time strange, I'm sure it had plenty in it a while ago.

Shame I chucked it out! Ah well, at least my shed never exploded.

 

[AWheating]

i never take the nozzle off the bottle anyway as i have had loads that have leaked.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

so no one knows if the blue bottle is affected?

 

[dancinplumba]

blue bottles not affected according to my letter gman

 

[tamz]

I've noticed a few blue ones leaking too over the past while when the nozzle is removed. Doesn't bother me as i just put it back on. No big deal and i certainly wouldn't be burning it off.
Primus bottles are better anyway. Never stuck for a hammer with one of them :lol:

 

[tamz]

Anybody ever jumped in the van in the morning with a *** in your mouth and though ........awe swhh......my gas bottle has been on all night :lol:

yep same with me it dont come off till it runs out

 

[tamz]

Only time i take it off is to swap bottles with the boy if i run out. I like my own nozzle.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

you have to watch the boy turns the lamp off after every job though,had a numpty with me a couple of years ago put a pile of dust sheets on the lamp then go to get something from the van put his knee on the lamp and bam 2 dead dustsheets and believe me they are a bstd to put the flames out water dont work

 

[jaybob]

i keep them attached to head untill it runs out also just to be safe i do fing though that my head goes wobberly all the time i just tighten back up but v annoying

 

[Rickster123]

Hate driving on the motorway when you get that whiff of mapp gas from the back and there's no where to pull in!

 

[GQuigley67]

i use the yellow mapp/pro bottles, i always disconnect them havent really had an issue with leaks though, just bought a brand new bottle aswell, maybe i'll go out side and burn it off for about 3 hours then send it away for a refund:smug::crazy:

 

[sparra1100]

yep i bought a couple a month ago used one got one left no ones rung me

 

[GQuigley67]

[Guest123]

Not much good if you don't do gas. Should be a general warning in ALL stockists.
