Google calor gas
Their web site will give a list of stockists.
My local stockist swapped an empty butane (super ser) for a propane at no extra cost,
so if you have the wrong cylinder, no prob, otherwise I think its £15 deposit for the first one.

Suppliers down here will let you swap any size and type of cylinder
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I think you can use Butane. Its not as hot when burnt, but cheaper. Itll work fine, provided the regulator fits.
Kindest Regards,

On some cylinders, it's a different thread direction! They use a reverse thread to prevent the wrong regulator being used.
Also, some suppliers fill propane and butane cylinders to different pressures, so maybe that's why they put opposite threads on them.
