Gas Bottles

You need to get a licence and everything has to be inspected every 5 years.

Hello

 No, garages don't deliver, you can buy at lots of  garages ,  then call a taxi to get back home., until you can make alternative arrangements, with Repsol for a delivery.

I agree with Elnspain, if you take an empty bottle to closest garage you don't need to register, they will simy exchange for a full one. Either taxi or good neighbour will be needed. Don't "get rid" of empty bottles they are worth €10each

Put an ad on this forum to sell them if you need to let go  for €10 ea and buyers will come and get them. Previous owners must have felt they needed plenty of bottles in reserve or maybe just reduce number of trips to local garage by changing 1bulk order at a time.

Thank you. Before coming out next I will post on here to see if someone wants to buy them or just take them off my hands 👍

This is a post I have copied from the sister forum, Talk Quesada.

By law, you should have a contract and licence for a gas bottle. When buying from the main dealer, this will be issued with a contract and the licence comes with it. However, most of us buy them from adverts in forums etc which do not have the licence.
Fixed gas installations, such as boilers and cookers, must have an inspection every 5 years to ensure the fittings are still fit for purpose. Buying from a main dealer will ensure they will contact you every 5 years to carry out this inspection (beware of scammers who knock on your door). With an initial contract, the gas man will also deliver to your door.
Portable items, such as gas fires and BBQs, do not need this inspection but it is recommended you change the rubber hose at least every 5 years, especially with an outdoor one on a BBQ as the sun can perish them.
Not many of us actually go through this procedure. The initial contract from Repsol or whoever will cost about 20 euro on top of the cost of the gas so about 35 to 40 euro. There are some dealers who supply the initial bottle but charge about 50 euro at the outset to set up the contract.
If you only have gas fires or other portable appliances then a contract would not be worth it.
By the way, did you know you are only supposed to carry one full gas bottle in your car at any one time and it must not be carried in the boot? You are supposed to put it upright on the passenger seat with the seat belt around it.
Something else we tend to ignore.

I would add; something else we ignore until we need to make an insurance claim.

Thanks Cheryl I did read you need to have a contract but as I only had the keys to the house a couple of weeks ago and there was a few empty bottles left behind plus the two that are being used for the hot water and oven. Hopefully I can get rid of the empty ones and then start from there.
