However, this is prohibited in Germany and, if so, is reserved exclusively for specialist personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information from the DVFG (German Liquid Gas Association) in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvfg.de\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/downloads\/technische-merkblaetter\/DVFG_Fachinformation_Fuellen_von_Gasflaschen_2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Technical information from July 2021<\/a> state that containers that are supposedly approved for self-filling are not allowed to be filled at public LPG filling stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201e<em>The Operational Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) applies to the operation of gas stations in Germany.<br>and the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV). The requirements of these regulations are set out in<br>Technical rules (technical rules for operational safety\/hazardous substances). TRBS 3151\/TRGS 751 \u201cAvoiding fire, explosion and pressure hazards\u201d applies to petrol stations<br>at gas stations and gas filling systems for filling land vehicles\u201d, September 2019 edition<br>(including last change from October 2nd, 2020). There it says:<br>5.1.4 Refueling of motor vehicles (\u2026)<br>(4) May be used on gas filling systems for liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, liquefied natural gas or hydrogen<br>Compressed gas containers in the sense of TRBS 3145\/TRGS 745 such as gas bottles with liquid gas<br>not be filled.<\/em>\u201e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But: different countries, different customs \u2013 and laws.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6_im_Ausland\"><\/span>\u2026 abroad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In principle, the regulations applicable in the respective country must be observed. Bottles with a filling stop must always be filled vertically and never tilted. With an inclined bottle, the function of the filling stop, which is intended to ensure the maximum permissible 80 % filling level, cannot be achieved. The bottle would then have too little expansion volume when heated and, in the worst case scenario, explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put it a little more objectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At an outside temperature of 15\u00b0 C, there is a pressure of approximately 7 bar in an 80% with propane gas cylinder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At a temperature of around 70\u00b0 C, the bottle, which was originally filled to 80 %, is completely filled. The pressure now prevailing is 25 bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the temperature continues to rise, the pressure inside the bottle increases as before by 7 bar for every degree increase in temperature, which ultimately leads to the bottle exploding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filling is easy with the appropriate gas bottle adapter. Where private individuals are prohibited from doing so, specialist staff on site may be able to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fullmenge\"><\/span><br><br>Filling quantity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An 11 kg gas bottle holds 22 - 23 liters of liquid gas. If you want to be sure that you don&#039;t overfill the bottle, consider 22 liters as the maximum capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since a bottle may still contain residual quantities, you should make sure that the bottle is definitely empty before filling!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unterschied_Butan_Propan_und_LPG\"><\/span>Difference between butane, propane and LPG<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Butane gas is a summer gas because it no longer evaporates below 4 \u00b0C. Propane, on the other hand, evaporates down to -40 \u00b0C, so it is suitable even in the depths of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In warmer countries, gas with a higher butane content is often sold. For example, if you start your winter holiday from Spain with freshly purchased gas bottles, you will have bad luck at your destination. Therefore: take empty bottles to the ski area and have the gas bottles filled or exchanged there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gas bottles sold in Germany contain 60 % butane gas in summer, while in winter they only contain 40 % butane. The season also plays a role in determining whether the bottle fillings are suitable for winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LPG is identical to the gas types\/mixtures mentioned above. There is no other difference.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>First of all, there are various gas cylinder adapters available as sets that allow German gas appliances to be connected to foreign cylinders.
