enlightened us thusly:

There was a site a while ago reckomending this as a emergency fuel can
scenario with a smaller portable gas tank.

You have been warned though this will be illegal i the UK.

not if you pay the appropriate duty and VAT. approx 4.5p per litre,
plus vat at 17.5% on the whole, gas plus duty. The orange bottle will
have 5% VAT as domestic fuel in its price, so to calculate the necessary
road duty, you first have to remove that.

And yes you may well blow yourself up as well.

If you use proper fittings, certified for LPG (Propane) at the required
pressure (about 100 psi working), then no, you shouldn't blow yerself
up.

if you try to jury-rig it with garden hose, you probably will.

be aware that any significant amount of liquid gas in contact with your
skin will give you very nasty frostbite. Small amounts from the end of
the
delivery pipe on my bulk tank are great for freezing stinging nettles,
after which they die impressively.

Must be the best suggestion yet for alternative uses for LPG. Think what
mayhem there could be if that was posted on a gardening newsgroup.

Let's try hehehhe! Mayhem please.

Also good way to get your Barbecue to light, and provide high level of mixed
charcoal at the same time.
