GoSystem Propane Gas Cylinder 400g - Blue

Product Information

Whether you want propane or butane gas for your BBQ, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a supplier. Butane gas is mainly used for camping, single burner cooking appliances and indoor portable heaters. Butane has a boiling point of -2ºc and tends to be a bit cheaper than propane. This is specifically designed to power outdoor appliances such as BBQ’s and patio heaters and the benefit is that it is compatible with the 27mm clip on regulator. It also features a Gas Trac Indicator, which is useful for determining when your gas is running low. We sell Patio gas in 5kg and 13kg bottles.

A ‘clip on’ regulator is pushed onto the top of your gas bottle, whereas a ‘screw in’ regulator screws into the top of your gas bottle. The type of propane bottle you need will depend on what regulator your barbeque comes with. There are two different types of LPG; butane and propane. You can instantly tell these two types of gas apart as butane gas is stored in blue cylinders while propane gas is stored in red cylinders. Although propane gas is sometimes sold in small green bottles under the name ‘patio gas’. What is the difference between butane and propane gas?Propane gas is mainly used as a commercial heating and large appliance fuel (such as heating and cooking in catering vans or on BBQs). Propane has a boiling temperature of -42ºc, so is suitable for use all-year-round. Propane is ideal if you’re intending to use your BBQ or appliance in very cold temperatures. They are also designed to be compatible with regulators (more on these later), which make it easy to connect the gas bottle to your BBQ. Some brands of patio gas will also include an indicator on the side of the bottle, which will tell you how much gas is remaining in the bottle. These are the larger gas bottles that you may have seen on industrial estates. These larger gas bottles are used to contain propane rather than butane and are available in a wide variety of sizes from 3.9kg right through to enormous 47kg cylinders. Efficiency in warm weather – if you’re going to be BBQing in warm weather (that’s the best time for a BBQ right?!) then butane gas is a very efficient fuel source. On the flip side, if you decide to do some outdoor cooking during winter then butane won’t flow well in low temperatures. When you buy gas from us in a cylinder, you'll be asked to pay a 'cylinder charge' for each cylinder. This is because it will remain our property and it is being provided to you only for the purposes of using the gas supplied. When the cylinder is empty, you can simply exchange it for a pre-filled cylinder or return the empty cylinder to us.
