Hiya, as a complete beginner in all things camping someone has given us a 907 gas cylinder and a campingas cooker. Is there any way of telling how much gas is in it? I have no idea how much gas is in the canister or how/where to get another one or get it refilled or how much it will cost? Sorry, probably a really stupid question lol
Shake the bottle side ways and listen for a sloshing sound.
Use google and enter "calor gas" make sure you are at calor gas uk then click on " find a stockist",
You have about 10 stockists in christchurch from garages to trailer businesses I suggest you ring and ask if they stock the bottle and get a price due to varying markups.
No such thing as a stupid question, there is a way of telling but can't remember how to do it, something about the amount of condensation on the side of the bottle when you do something, vague I know but someone will be along soon and fill in the gaps.
Assuming you can hear/feel some liquid sloshing around in the bottle, weigh it and subtract the tare weight, which should be marked on the base of the cylinder (as rjgukc says, around 3.7kg), to find the weight of gas remaining.

Cost 907 about £19 to £25 approx.
Hope this helps
I think you mean google for "camping gaz" for stockists of the 907
Wow what a mix of replies! Thanks guys, will def google for stockist, don't think I'll take the advise and light the tap but did make me chuckle!
I knew there'd be a serious camper out there who would know the weight of a canister, very helpful.
Thank you all, can't wait for my first camp at the weekend
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
