Post by: grahamturner09 on March 11, 2008, 20:05:39 PM: i would have thought it works on the temperature the gas being cold

Post by: grahamturner09 on March 11, 2008, 20:09:20 PM: ill let you know i just got one on ebay as well

Post by: stoop on March 11, 2008, 22:49:23 PM: We just shake the bottle ;)
Title: gas
Post by: Scunner on March 11, 2008, 22:58:53 PM: It would be far easier to get two and replace the empty one with the full one and swap the empty on for a full one :)

Post by: Ian on March 11, 2008, 23:04:18 PM: Ah but if you have a modest 2 bedroom apartment as opposed to an 18 room villa then space is at a premium.

Also there must be twice the chance of a serious incident with 2 bottles???

I am surprised that someone who worked on oil rigs could be so casual about risk :D

Ps I would like to see Stoop shaking his bottle - that would be a good photo!!!!

Post by: tinkerman on March 11, 2008, 23:06:22 PM: he only pays 1.75TL per pint, and he still shakes the bottle

Post by: johnc on March 16, 2008, 19:29:38 PM: We are coming 20th, and haven't been in Calis this early in the year! Will we need heaters, or will the air con be enough? Any advice appreciated - for example should we get a gas heater, what size, where from? How much are they?
Thanks
John

Post by: number2 on March 16, 2008, 20:49:29 PM: my bottle ran out afrer 4 years too, when we moved here i went to the shop up near the oykun, and rather than bring it right away, they loaded onto a scooter and took us both home, fitted it, paid,38tl,it all took 5mins,just dont know if he took a number off the bottle, but that was 12 months ago and using it every day it is still going strong, also i am sat here at11-00 at night typing this without any heating, so don't worry about keeping warm John.

Post by: stoop on March 17, 2008, 09:40:21 AM: As it only takes our supplier about 10 mins to get to us when we ring him I don't think it's a real problem (only the efes delivery is quicker ;)). However I do like the idea of an indicator. I might buy one myself - saves shaking my bottle:D
Title: gas
Post by: tribalelder on March 17, 2008, 12:13:47 PM: Air con should be more than enough at this time of year....although a back up of a gas heater may be useful in the event of a power cut. Ball park figure is about 200 YTL and are readily available just about anywhere in Fethiye and will be delivered. :)

Post by: lmaddy on March 17, 2008, 13:31:06 PM: Can someone give me a rough idea how much a large gas bottle is?
I would like to check it against what I am being charged.
Thanks

Post by: sunnyd on March 17, 2008, 14:09:32 PM: a 'normal' size gas bottle for cooking use is now 43.50YTL, I'll ask about a large bottle for you Lorraine.

Post by: Scunner on March 18, 2008, 15:09:41 PM: Don't forget to ensure your gas bottle is operating at the correct pressure too Barry. 28 bar is about right for the small ones. They will not supply the required throughput of gas at lower pressures, and won't work at all at "noebar"

Post by: noebar on March 18, 2008, 15:16:20 PM: There's enough gas in our house without the bottles
