The great gasby

So my letter to MMM about the crazy decision by Calor to discontinue the small cylinders that hundreds of campervan owners use worked!

“Calor has announced it will continue to supply and refill 3.9kg propane and 4.5kg butane cylinders, and will not be phasing them out as announced last year”.

The power of MMM!

ED We asked Calor for a response and a spokesperson confirmed this is true...

“We can confirm that we will continue to supply and refill 3.9kg propane and 4.5kg butane cylinders and will not be phasing them out of circulation as announced last year. Customers using the

3.9kg propane and 4.5kg butane cylinder sizes told us they were frustrated by the limited availability of alternatives. We listened to their concerns and during 2023 we reviewed options for maintaining supply.

“We have continued to fill a small number of these cylinder sizes during the review period. Following recent modernisation to our filling plants and cylinder refurbishment facilities, we can now start to increase supply, but it will take some time for cylinders requiring refurbishment to be returned to circulation. Therefore, while supplies remain limited, we can only exchange cylinders on a one-for-one basis and so are currently unable to swap large cylinders for small or issue new cylinders. When the situation changes, we will communicate this.

“We are starting to increase the number of these cylinder sizes into our retail network and Calor Distribution

Centres. It will take time to return supply to normal, but we are working hard to do this as soon as possible and will keep customers informed.”
