How to buy

When you buy your first BP gas bottle, the price you pay includes a charge for the use of the bottle, as well as for the gas itself. When your BP Gas Light bottle is empty, return it to your selected stockist to exchange it for a full bottle. This time, you'll pay only for the gas.

If you decide you no longer need a BP Gas bottle, you may return it to any BP Gas bottle stockist and receive a partial refund in accordance with the BP Gas Bottle Refill Agreement. Please ensure you keep this agreement safe after it is provided when you make your first purchase.

Handy and manageable
Our propane gas cylinders can be moved and transported easily, making them perfect for remote locations.

No mess, no fuss
Propane is a clean burning fuel, which unlike coal or other solid fuels, won't make a mess of your home.

Multi-purpose
Propane is one of the most versatile fuels, and can be used for everything from cooking your favourite meal to heating the water for a long soak in the bath.

Year-round use
Propane is safe to use in most weather conditions, working effectively even in temperatures as low as -38° Celsius.

Heat and hot water at home
Powerful and practical, propane is the reliable way to fuel your domestic boiler. So even if your home isn't connected to a mains gas supply, you can still enjoy the benefits of safe, clean and instant heating and hot water. It's ideal for living flame fires too, so you can have the 'real fire' effect without the mess, smell and hassle of solid fuels.

In the kitchen
Nothing beats cooking by gas. Connecting easily to most leading-brand domestic cookers and ovens, propane is quick, efficient and gives you total control when you're preparing your food - one of the reasons it's the preferred choice of top chefs.

Incorrect storage, handling and usage of gas should be avoided at all times - please follow the following safety guidelines when using BP Gas cylinders:

• Gas bottles are highly flammable and should be kept away from sources of ignition and naked flames
• Bottles should be placed in an upright position to ensure vapour rather than liquid is used
• Keep your bottle outdoors at all times, on firm, level ground and in a well-ventilated position
• Do not keep your gas bottle in a cellar, basement or sunken area
• Bottles must be accessible, should not cause obstructions and must be protected from damage or interference by persons, animals or vehicles
• Changeover devices and regulators should ideally be located near to the bottles and the flexible connections kept as close as possible
• Bottles should not be positioned near to windows, doors, airbricks, flues, ducts, drains, gullies or openings to cellars
• Bottles should also not be located within near to any corrosive, toxic or oxidising materials
• The area around bottles should be kept clear of litter, long grass or anything else that is flammable
