Gas Bottle FAQs

How long do LPG bottles last?

Here are some typical examples of how long a 45 kg gas bottle lasts:

• A 45 kg gas bottle lasts 52 days based on 16 L/min Hot Water used for 20 minutes per day
• A 45 kg gas bottle lasts 244 days based on 9 MJ Cooktop Burner used for 60 minutes per day
• A 45 kg gas bottle lasts 49 days based on 15 MJ Gas Heater used for 3 hours per day
• A 45 kg gas bottle lasts 44 days based on 25 MJ Gas Fireplace used for 2 hours per day

These estimates are based on running at maximum setting/rate.

Duration would be longer on lower settings.

What safety tips should I follow when using LPG bottles?

• Never store LPG bottles (both spare and used bottles) indoors and in enclosed spaces, especially under buildings or in your basement.
• Store LPG bottles and LPG tanks upright and in well-ventilated spaces away from the open flames of gas appliances, electrical equipment, and direct sunlight.
• Only qualified personnel from ELGAS should handle the LPG bottle swap. We use proper equipment and have undergone training to conduct the swap safely.
• Use only approved LPG appliances, gas fittings, and gas hoses.
• Regularly inspect hoses for signs of gas leaks and damage as part of a routine gas safety check.
• When using SWAP’n’GO LPG bottles on portable gas appliances, always turn off the LPG bottle valve before disconnecting the LPG bottle from the gas appliance.

How do I store my LPG bottle safely?

• LPG bottles must be stored in a well-ventilated area outside of the household/business premises, and should only be stored upright at all times.
• Avoid storing flammable materials and aerosols near LPG bottles and LPG tanks.
• When using LPG bottles on outdoor portable gas appliances, make sure that the LPG bottle valves are turned off firmly when the appliance is not being used.
• Never place LPG bottles near artificial heat sources and electrical systems.
• LPG bottle valves must always be firmly closed when the LPG bottle is detached from the gas appliance, even if you believe the LPG bottle is empty.

What should I do if I suspect an LPG gas leak?

A harmless chemical called Mercaptan is added to Natural Gas and LPG to produce a rotten egg smell so you can detect and act quickly in case of a gas leak.

If you notice a sulfuric smell or a rotten egg odour at home or at work, follow these steps immediately:

When indoors:

• Eliminate any sources of ignition (electrical appliances, smoking, mobile phones)
• Leave the building immediately
• Call our emergency hotline at 0800 435 427. We’re ready to service all ELGAS equipment.

When outdoors:

• Stay away from the source of the odour, but try to determine where the smell is the strongest.
• Call our emergency hotline at 0800 435 427
• Eliminate any sources of ignition (electrical appliances, smoking, mobile phones)
• If possible, turn off the gas valve at the LPG bottle.

If you think there is a massive gas leak that may be immediately dangerous to life or property, call emergency services on 111.
