FAQs

As a trusted supplier of gas, we frequently get asked questions about gas safety, the difference between butane and propane, as well as the best uses for our gas products. In this blog, we’ll be answering our most common FAQs.

We stock a wide range of butane gas bottles for residential and commercial use. It’s a versatile gas and can be used in fridges, lighters, and aerosols. Butane is also popular for camping and caravanning because it provides portable heating, as well as the capability to fuel barbecues quickly and efficiently.

Unlike gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, butane is not a greenhouse gas and does not affect the ozone layer.

If you find yourself in a situation where a gas cylinder is involved in a fire or close to fire, do not approach or attempt to move the cylinder or operate the valve. Evacuate the area immediately and keep others away.

Contact the Fire & Rescue Service as soon as possible, informing them of your location, as well as the type and quantity of gas involved.

As a gas bottle supplier, we know there are several things that influence how long a gas bottle lasts. These factors include, your burner, low or high heat, the use and frequency of use.

The gas application is a major factor of how long your bottle will last because it determines how much gas you need. A 45kg cooking gas bottle can last around 244 days, depending on the burner you have and the frequency with which you use the gas. If you have a Calor gas propane 6kg bottle and if you consider that 1kg of propane can give around 13.6 kWh of energy – you will be able to use a cooker for about 81.6 hours.

At Adams Gas, we provide many different types of gas, including butane. Each 220g of butane will last for approximately 3 to 4 hours on low heat, meaning you can really get your money’s worth with this type of gas. Our Calor gas butane 15kg bottles could last for up to 238 hours on low heat.

Fire up the BBQ whatever the weather with our range of Calor bottled gases. Not only can you start cooking almost instantly after turning your gas on, you can also carry on cooking for longer.

Propane gas exerts significantly more pressure than butane at the same temperature, meaning it’s ideal for exterior storage and BBQ use all year round.

Butane gas is also great for barbeques as it produces around 12% more energy than propane when the same volume of each gas is burned. While butane is a popular choice for those who light up their BBQ a few times a week, you should consider that butane gas won’t flow when the weather is cold.

With energy, the standing charge is the cost of having a gas and electricity supply, then you pay usage charges on top. The standing charge is the fee you pay to your energy supplier simply because it gives you access to energy.

Transporting gas cylinders in a safe and responsible manner is essential to the safety and welfare of your employees and the general public.
