How many litres are there in a 47kG cyclinder?


I reckon it is 24150 l,


eh that doesn't sound right. Our 2,500l oil tank is 6' x 4' x 4'...
Maybe you are thinking of the gas volume? Which isn't how you buy LPG
as gas volume is *far* too dependant on temperature and pressure.

1m^3 of propane weighs 583kg at -40C (near as damn it it's boiling
point) so 47kg occupies 0.08m^3 or 80l thats more like it.

so 0.11p/l for 47kg at 26.50. How does that compare with bulk LPG?


Or more correctly 33p/l which fits vaugely with autogas prices... I
think bulk (no road) LPG is nearer the 20p/l or less mark...
