Trakka gas cooker

1
Morning or evening good people.

Has anyone else been refused a gas refill on their original Trakka gas bottles ? BCF said they won't refill these older style bottles due to the relief valve pointing straight up at your face .

Because it's such a specific fit I thought maybe changing the outlet to the newer style and blocking the old valve ? Anybody done this or know what I mean ?

Sounds like nonsense to me. I have no trouble refilling original Trakka bottles, I get them filled at the local gas supplier as seen here:

... not at a retail store refiller as in your case.


Find a local gas supplier similar to Haines that does refills and re-certifies/tests used gas bottles. I have no trouble with re-certification of my Trakka bottles either with Haines.

Never been refused Mark

Sometimes they have to go find the right adaptor as they haven't filled a bottle with this valve for a while.
I had mine retested and stamped in Bunbury a couple of years ago for $39ea. Greg N

On our camper trailer we had 2 of 4kg bottles that I did not want to swap and go.   I purchased one of these to refill them at home myself.  I paid $100 for it a couple of years ago..

This way if I have a bottle that has some gas in it i.e. not completely mt but need a fill one to go away I don't give back that gas I just top up from a 9kg bottle...

You maybe able to use it for your Trakka bottles. ??

$140 + postage from http://bluelpg.com.au/shop/lpg-fill-guns.

Mine will be in hand probably Monday.

Customer care instructions and how to use are very good.

Thanks for the tip.

How do you fill from another bottle? Turn it up side down?

A normal fill bottle has a tube down to the bottom.
