Hello,
swap bottles are obviously convenient for most domestic users, but how do people get on trying to refill stainless canisters that boats have? Does anyone know of an on water fuel facility that refills cylinders?
cheers Richard

Hi Richard,
I am just removing a stainless steel one as we speak?
Sturrocks at Darling Point will refill your cylinders if you take them there.

Thanks Bundeena, I walked up to Barbecues Galore, the lady is dropping it off to my anchorage tonight on her way home, can't complain about the service!
Are you not using the stainless cylinder? I'd be keen to buy it if you don't need it anymore?
cheers Richard

In situ refills on boats are generally not allowable due to spill of gas, unknown ignition sources and potential pooling of gas in a vessel. Boom. There's no way I'd do it for someone!
