How Long Does It Take You To Refill Your Cooking Gas? by Mystical888: 9:46pm On Sep 05, 2015
Hello House,
Please i need assistance with setting a reorder level for my 12.5kg cooking gas.
Lately, i make use of one bottle in three weeks.
Same size of LPG used to last me for three months when i was single and later two months before i moved to a new neighborhood.
I don't cook much, just for a family of four (Spouse and two kids).
Please i need ideas on how to save cost of gas or how to make my usage last longer than it is presently.

Simply put is the point when you need to quickly replenish your gas tank before you finally exhaust it.

That's one, noted!

Two months is not bad. That is around 50 naira a day for four people. From my findings most average families refill between 7 and ten weeks.

Okay, so i've seen two weeks and two months on here.
I am tempted to believe that my local gas dealer is responsible for this challenge.
Could he be filling my bottle with less gas or could it be the quality of cooking gas he sells?

Get electric cooker

Do you re-fill in a gas plant or these local dealers?

Do you weigh the gas cylinder before and after filling?

If you don't have prepaid electricty meter, get more appliances like electric stove, electric kettle( if you don't have water heater). Do you cook beans alot? get a pressure pot for your beans, cowlegs and others (whenever there is power outage) You need a whistling kettle if you boil water and leave the kitchen.
Fill your gas in a plant.the road side retailers tend to fill the cylinder with air though the good ones pause and release the air but if it's at the plant , their nozzle is tight thus oxygen cannot enter plus they weigh it in front of you before and after filling to avoid overfilling sef.

Its been my practice to "go and comeback" to pick up the filled bottle.
And its been the roadside guys of course.
I don't bother weighing since the scale apparently would have been adjusted to the dealer's favour.
I've learned something here.

Plus postpaid electricity billing is what i use presently.
I'll make use of an electric cooker by the side and beat PHCN to a few bucks.

Change the location where u refill. Check the listing of certified dealers and refill. Stop patronising the road side thieves.

12.5kg...2 weeks the last two times then 3 weeks the one that finished today angry. what nonsense.
Re: How Long Does It Take You To Refill Your Cooking Gas? by DonTim1: 6:09pm On Sep 06, 2015
get an electric + gas burner combo, cook more using electricity, even with prepaid meters,its still better

cook in bulk, get a microwave,use it to defrost what you need from ur bulk frozen food, u can even boil with with ur microwave, n its faster

if i do the replacement from nnpc station= 2month+, roadside plant or dealer= 1month+

Me I don't know wats going on, i always fill my 19kg with 22kg. But I filled it last yr den went to do my abunna with BH. then BH injured me and I came back home to use it for about 4 -5 months with my family.
