Enid_Puceflange Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I’m having difficulty finding the large bottles of Coleman Propane available on the shelf in a store, I had hoped Decathlon, screwfix, tool station etc would stock it I can buy from Amazon but the postage charge pretty much negates the saving of running it What do you guys use, and where to pick it up 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmanNo2 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I gave up on tracking down Coleman and went with Rothenberger wherever is cheapest. However, compare it to green in bulk/semi bulk and there isn't much in it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 See if there's a 'Go Outdoors' near you. They had those Coleman tanks. My trouble with using propane was the fill nozzle always leaked. Tried two different attachments but they both leak badly when I tried to fill a mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enid_Puceflange Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just collected the Blue Rothenberger, my fill nozzle arrived yesterday so now just waiting on my wee bottle of silicon oil arriving in the post (Went for Abbey) and I shall get this tried out at the weekend 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziCk_ Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Noob question - why picking these specific brands? Won't any bottle with propane do? Is it about the shape or does this one doesn't smell like rotten eggs? (can you even buy odorless propane anywhere?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup any propane will do , just Coleman and Rothenberger are the two well known easily available brands . The rotten egg smell is simply added so you can smell it , Airsoft green gas For all intents and purposes is just propane without the detection agent , but it has had silicone oil added to it unlike bottles of ‘propane to burn’ hence you need to add a few drops of oil to the fill nozzle before you fill your mags . 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
