How to check how much you’ve got left in your gas bottle

Don’t get caught with an empty gas bottle at your bbq!

• Fill up a jug or bottle with warm tap water
• Pour it down the side of the gas bottle
• Wait 5 seconds
• Using your hands, feel for a temperature change on the bottle.
• The part that’s cold to touch will indicate how much gas is left. If it’s cold near the top – you’re ok. If it’s warm the whole way down…time to get a new bottle.

If you’re running low on gas, find your closest United here:
