Calor Gas Ltd is issuing a product recall with immediate effect on all 6kg CalorLite® cylinders manufactured between 2008-2011 inclusive. All such cylinders must be returned to a local CalorLite® stockist immediately. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've got two that need to be returned, wouldn't be so bad but they both show full.

I have 2 not checked either yet, I hope they will be full when they hand them back, ones empty and ones half full Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

One of mine will be gong down a bit in a minute, the Cadac is primed

Looking at the calour site you get free of charge exchange cylinders so they must be full

But further down the page in the Q and A's


What happens if the returned cylinder is half full/nearly empty? Do I receive a new full cylinder?

Yes – a full replacement 6kg CalorLite® will be issued entirely free of charge if the customer is returning a CalorLite® cylinder as part of the recall.

Will I be charged for the gas?

No, the replacement 6kg CalorLite® will be issued entirely free of charge if the customer is returning a cylinder as part of the recall.

Let all the gas go if it makes you feel better

Come back CG all is forgiven!!

Apparently the gas supply company are increasing the price by £5 next week I have heard, probably to recover the cost.

the lpg inside is worthless than 28p/l so that part is hardly going to break calors back.

Looks like they're using the safety recall as a vehicle to increase prices then with a plausible excuse as to why. They should be applauded for the recall, safety is paramount.

This probably explains why they have recently stopped (again) swapping the old 6kg/7kg for the Lite cylinders.

I use 19kg for the cooker/BBQ so I will empty mine out there before returning. As to cost of gas, Calor Heavy 6kg refill was £20, 19kg refill was £30  GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

I know what the gas costs, but what its worth is wildly different At work
