Safety first for LPG users this coming summer

Now is the time for caravanners, motorhome owners and gas barbecue enthusiasts to examine their equipment before the season starts. For safety it is important to examine the gas hose to your appliance(s).

 LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas ) hose should be changed every 5 years to ensure safety in use. Nowadays, it is best to use orange hose as it has a manufacture date on it. In reality it will need to be changed in less than 5 years because there is a period when it is held in stock by the retailer. If your appliance still has black hose, it is highly likely that it needs changing.

LPG hose is made from neoprene, not rubber. This is because LPG attacks rubber and such tubing would rapidly become unsafe when used with Calor Gas.

It is also recommended that your Calor Gas regulator is changed every ten years to ensure safety.
Incidentally you should never use a petroleum based grease such as Vaseline or lubricating grease with an LPG (Calor Gas) regulator as the gas reacts unfavourably with other petroleum based materials.

If in doubt contact the staff at Towler & Staines Calor Gas Dealers in Bradford and Keighley who will be happy to help.

The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run raised more than last year for charity.

The Great Skipton Santa Fun Run of 2016 raised a total of £34,451.00 for local charities £710 more than the previous year. The event is organised by Skipton Craven Rotary Club and has become an important event in Skipton's calender.

Manorlands, Yorkshire Cancer Research, and the Yorkshire Child Heart Unit in Leeds were major beneficiaries, but a number of other charities were also supported by the individuals who participated.

Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer provided hot tea and coffee for the competitors using Calor Gas boilers. Their staff provided support in their own time.

If you have a favourite charity why not consider the event this year.
