calor and propane gas safety

[mickcoulson]

hi guys............ can anyone give advice as to how long i can keep bottles of calor and propane gas. i have had a bottle of calor gas ( used for bbq ) for about 3 years and am wondering if it is still safe to use.
if the weather is ok !!!!

I don't know of any time restrictions, probably best to phone calor themselves for advice.

we've had one for a few years too. The patiogas brand.

My grandad has a couple of really old cylinders (plain orange unbranded) (and regulators just as old) that he still uses sometimes.

The gas is sealed in - if it were to deteriorate, the only way I can see this happening is by the gas leaking out. Which you'd know about.
