That Cheap Gas Refill Could Cost You Everything This Winter
Beware of cheap LPG refills - illegal cylinders can explode, leak, or damage appliances. Choose licensed suppliers to protect your home and loved ones.
Be Alert for These Red Flags
Prices significantly below market rates
No receipts, documentation, or certification proof
Seals that don’t match the cylinder brand. Seals must show a brand name and a serial number.
Contaminated gas is another serious hazard. Illegal operators often add water, paraffin, or other substances to increase cylinder weight. “These mixtures burn inefficiently, damage appliances, and compromise seals, creating hidden leaks that endanger homes and occupants.
If You Believe Your Cylinder Has Been Illegally Refilled
Do not ignite the gas or handle the cylinder roughly
Contact a licensed gas supplier to safely remove and replace the cylinder or return the cylinder to the purchase point
Report the seller to your local municipality or the LP Gas Safety Association
Alert your community through appropriate channels.
Choose licensed suppliers and pay fair market prices. When protecting those you care about, the only acceptable option is the legitimate one.”
