Bulk LPG in cylinders?
I haven't got room for an LPG tank to sited in my garden, not to meet regulations anyway, plus no access for a truck unless they have a 20m hose
(as they do with the oil). So lloking at getting 4+ 47kg propane tanks, but the price of these are shocking!! LPG to buy in bulk is 30p ish, but in th
etanks its 50 quid for 47kg, so about 54p a litre!!
Anyone got any bright ideas for refilling the tanks???

Can you not have the main gas tank in the correct place and then a long filling pipe that runs closer to the road side to a filling point there.
Like when they put oil tanks inside and then a pipe going to a filling point on the outside wall.
I presume you can have approved strong enough pipes coming from the tank as it has to get to inside the house somehow (altho that bits probably not
under as much pressure)

apart from having the tank under ground or in the middle of the garden, no room for a proper big tank  Just had a price of equivalent to 35p for
supply of 5 x 47kg tanks, so not too bad, but would prefer to get it down a bit more!

i know this is a bit sideways and not realy what you are looking for but my farther in law lives in a nice place that runs a oil boiler as there is no
mains gas supply
he is looking into a air to water heat pump
for every 1 kw you put in you can get up to 4kw out.
the two main companies were mitsubishi and daikin
to my mind its like having a small rad outside sucking the heat out of the air and you then dump it in the house the other end.
good luck

I think that air source heat pumps tend to give up if the air temperature drops below about 5°C, so unless your father-in-law is keeping his oil
boiler as backup, then a ground source heat pump would possibly be better. I don't know much about these things, it's just what I've
read over on uk.d-i-y
