I am off to Mabletorpe for Half Term next week and thought I would look to see where my local BP Gas light stockist is.

Then saw on websites that BP have sold to Macgas. I had heard they were selling but not realised it has happened.

BP used to have a very good website for locating BP gas stockist but Macgas not so good.

Does anybody have any full list of stockist, is it still available at Homebase and BP garages. Is it being discontinued etc. Any info welcomed.

Thanks

David

Yep I understand the BP Gaslite model failed, as they could not get distribution rights in Europe especialy France.

It's a pity realy as the transparent cylinders were a great idea along with the clip on butane regulator.

Cylinder size for the 5kg would have been ideal for campers, and would have lasted ages.

As we only ever go camping in France I will be sticking with my two CampinGaz 907 cylinders, can't complain though, as due to EHU usage to save on gas I have managed to get 7 weeks! out of one 907 cylinder, and it's still got a bit left.

All of the bp gas lite range is continuing, and available in home base etc still.
MacGas is owned by DCC which also own FloGas.
Bp sold up to focus on the parts of the business which make more money, quicker!


Macgas
