Gas Cylinders
 

Does anyone know the correct price for a standard orange butane gas bottle. I have just been and fetched one from the Ferreteria behind the petrol station and was a bit taken aback to be charged 20 euros.Was I ripped off?

The last one we got from the Butano delivery lorry was about 17.50€, that was about a month ago.

The "correct" price has recently gone up to 17.50€ as Sparky says, but certain shops (ferreterias, trebol to name but a few) do add a small fee onto the price as you do not have to be registered with them to get a new bottle - convenience fee really . There is also a Repsol "agent" in the Port of Alcudia where you can get the bottles at the normal price. I use the word agent loosely as I think it is a bloke in a Repsol shirt selling them from his garage HAHA

17.50 or 20 they are great value ours seem to last forever. :)

Is anyone able to confirm if the Butano delivery lorry still does it's rounds on a Wednesday in the Gommar area please?

Hi Eleanor, i can't say for sure but there has been no change for me (always Mondays) so i would assume it is still Wednesdays in Gommar :).

Thanks very much Sparky. Need to buy a couple of new plus fill up the existing.
Husband asked me the question as he is in PP and I just couldn't remember if the day had changed. Thanks again. :)

What size of gas cylinder are you referring to? 15kg Calor butane (blue cylinder) is £33 here in the UK. The smaller 7kg cylinder is £21.50.

Clinkham, here the bottles are orange and 13.7kg :).

Hi Eleanor, yes the butano lorry still comes round Gotmar on a Wednesday. Got one off him last Wednesday .

Thanks Danny and Sparky for the confirmation. Must remember to remind husband to put outside the gate or they don't stop do they?

This reminds me of years ago when we used to leave the empty plus the money in an envelope outside. Not sure it would be safe to do that now!

Either missed him or he didn't come along our road! Blast! :mad:

Husband was there all day too! Oh well perhaps he can carry one on
his bike! lol That's his next 'apprentice' task! :):)

Talk about a working holiday ;)

Did he leave an empty bottle outside the gate Eleanor?, they usually blast the horn when they see them but if they don't they drive on.

Ahh so that's where he went wrong! :confused:
Well he failed that challenge then didn't he! :) Thanks Sparky he will know for next time!

Mike - when you own in PP there is never a holiday! :) lol
