Spotted in the hedge, some orange propane bottles, 1x3.9KG,
1x13KG, 1 bigger, with taps and plugs - worth retrieving?

I think he means retrieving for himself? the smaller type you have to pay a
£10 deposite if you want a bottle of propane at a filling location,
otherwise it's £10 for a refill with bottle supplied.
13Kg you don't get nuffink for it.

Yes, you could make a diy sandblasting pot. With which you wouldn't want
to sandblast timber of course :-) Also, our local fire-extinguisher
salesman told me recently that we could re-use an old extinguisher to
hold compressed air, ready at all times to inflate wheels etc. Suppose
you could do the same with a gas bottle if you were so inclined, had the
right fittings etc.....

Make sure they are not being used. BT sometimes leave them in the hedge
to charge the phone system

Do you want to tidy the hedge up?

They're of no commercial value to you. If they're Calor bottles, Calor
_may_ give Childline a fiver for them if you take them back. You'll
never get a "deposit" back on propane.

If you want to buy some, they're a couple of quid each at my local dump
- any size, often half-full.

And this why Calor/filling stations charge a deposit because they're ending
up in a scrap metal yard.

p.s he's got one for free why would he want to pay for one?

Why would BT be using propane "to charge the phone system". Dry
nitrogen yes but propane?

Gas, phone? They fit together quite well :-)

The message

ISTM that you have that the wrong way round. Calor gas bottles got
dumped because Calor agents would only give a refund if the original
invoice showing the amount of the original deposit was produced.

If you *need* them personally Yes, otherwise No.

Ooo, any one know who it is, do they have instructions, is there a web
page I can look at? I once saw one years ago at an American Civil War
display and thought how good they are and how useful they would be
when our own re-enactment group go camping on a cold night.
