Greetings,

 

Just done a trawl through the internet and it would appear that Total Gas are part of a Company named Flogas.

 

Flogas are one of the big suppliers of butane and propane to the Caravan community and I do not feel that you will have any problems in swapping your cylinder for a full one when the time comes,

I would assume that your cylinder has a female outlet just below the on/off valve and that will correspond with regulaters still being sold today (if it isn't report back with a description and we'll take it from there)

The good news is that with a correctly fitted reg. you will be able to use your gas in winter becaused propane continues to work even when the temperatute plummets. Something that Butane cannot do.

I don't think Calor has taken over most gases, but Flogas, Total, Supagas, Budget Gas, Alta gas, have all joined together in opposition to Calor. They are cheaper. Unlike Calor the two smallest sizes use the same regulators. They are easily obtainable n most areas - try agricultural and builders merchants.
