IIRC, deposit on 13kg Butagaz bottle is i.r.o. 30€. You will also need to change your regulator as well as the French fittings are completely different. Finally, don't forget the new gas rule that it's banned on ACO websites (read into that what you will)

Don't worry, gas bottles are all banned anyway!
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Yes me and Mike as we did it last year. Just go to the man in the little hut at the gas station in Arnage super u and he will give you a bottle and regulator, you can use your address in Uk for deposit and its around 20 euros plus the price of the gas

Nick

p.s gas bottles not banned if they are attached to a caravan
