We generally find the BP gaslight bottles excellent; great that you can 'see' the gas and the connections are easy peasy and no fiddling about with spanners etc.
The only gripe we have is the cost that Homebase has increased the price by 40% (YES- 40%) since Feb/Marc of this year for a 10kg refill.
Feb 2009 - £19.99
March 2009 - £26.99
July 5th 2009 - £28.00
When I did call BP in May, they did ackowledge a price increase but they did not stipulate what the retailers had to sell it for although their recommendation was 10kg for £22.49.
There are 'alternative 'suppliers' but last time I looked on the BP site to check for stockists, the first 4 listed that I phoned didn't have a clue what I was on about. Just as well I phoned rather than just turn up. Frustratingly too is that we have 4 BP garages within 10 miles of home and none of them retail it.
There are so many things to help favour BP Gas Light but unless they get a better network of stockists, they will find people will stick with Calor or return to them out of frustration.
