Gas Cylinder Refill Sizes Available

We cater to all your LPG needs with gas refills for every major cylinder capacity. Not sure which size you need? The capacity is typically printed on the side of your gas bottle. Here's a detailed breakdown of each size and its typical applications:

9kg Gas Cylinder

The 9kg gas bottle is perfect for smaller households, occasional braai enthusiasts, and weekend camping trips. This compact cylinder typically provides:

• 8-10 hours of continuous cooking on a standard stove
• 4-6 braai sessions for a family of four
• Ideal for portable gas heaters in small rooms
• Perfect size for caravans and camping

The 9kg cylinder is our most popular choice for customers who want portability without sacrificing too much capacity. It's light enough to move around easily but substantial enough to last several weeks with moderate use.

14kg Gas Cylinder

The 14kg cylinder strikes the perfect balance between portability and capacity, making it ideal for:

• Medium-sized households with regular cooking needs
• Frequent braai users who entertain weekly
• Small to medium gas geysers (6L-8L)
• Extended camping trips or off-grid living
• Small business applications like food trucks or market stalls

With a 14kg gas bottle, you can expect approximately 12-15 hours of cooking time, making it an economical choice for families. Many of our customers in Parklands and Table View choose this size for their primary household gas supply.

19kg Gas Cylinder

The 19kg gas cylinder is the workhorse of domestic LPG use in South Africa. This is the most common size for households and offers excellent value:

• 16-20 hours of continuous cooking
• Powers medium to large gas geysers (10L-12L)
• Ideal for homes with gas stoves and gas heaters
• Sufficient for regular braai use throughout the month
• Popular choice for small restaurants and catering businesses

A 19kg gas bottle can last a typical household 4-8 weeks, depending on usage patterns. It's heavy enough that you'll appreciate our collection and delivery service, saving you the hassle of transporting it yourself.

48kg Gas Cylinder

Our largest offering, the 48kg gas cylinder, is designed for high-demand applications:

• Commercial kitchens and restaurants
• Industrial heating operations
• Large gas geysers and multi-point water heating systems
• Farms and agricultural operations
• Businesses requiring a continuous gas supply

The 48kg gas bottle provides approximately 40-50 hours of continuous use and is the most cost-effective option per kilogram. Due to its size and weight, we strongly recommend our delivery service for this cylinder capacity. Our industrial clients particularly appreciate the reduced frequency of refills, minimising operational disruptions.

How Our Gas Refill Process Works

We've streamlined our gas cylinder refill process to make it as simple and safe as possible for you:

Step 1: Place Your Order. Contact us via phone at 021 556 2450, email at tableview@gasextreme.co.za, or through our website. Specify your cylinder size (9kg, 14kg, 19kg, or 48kg) and whether you prefer collection or delivery.

Step 2: Schedule Your Service. Choose a convenient time slot for collection or delivery. We offer same-day service for most areas in Cape Town, subject to availability. For urgent gas refills, let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Step 3: Cylinder Inspection When your cylinder arrives at our facility, our certified technicians perform a comprehensive safety inspection. We check for:

• Valve integrity and functionality
• Cylinder body damage, corrosion, or dents
• Expiry date verification (cylinders have a 15-year lifespan)
• Proper seals and connections
• Weight verification to ensure accurate refills

Step 4: Professional Refilling Using calibrated equipment, we precisely refill your cylinder to the correct capacity. Our refilling station complies with all safety regulations and uses pure LPG from trusted suppliers. We never overfill or underfill—you get exactly what you pay for.

Step 5: Quality Assurance Check After refilling, we conduct a leak test and final inspection. Each cylinder is checked to ensure all connections are secure and the valve operates correctly. Only cylinders that pass our rigorous quality standards leave our facility.

Step 6: Collection or Delivery. If you chose collection, we'll notify you when your gas refill is ready for pickup at our Parklands location. For delivery, we'll bring your refilled cylinder directly to your doorstep within the agreed timeframe. Our delivery team handles all cylinders with care and can provide basic usage advice if needed.

The entire gas refill process typically takes 2-4 hours for same-day service, or you can opt for next-day service if you're not in a rush.

Prices fluctuate with wholesale gas costs, so we recommend contacting us at 021 556 2450 or requesting a quote through our website for the most accurate, current pricing.

Where can I get a gas refill near me?

If you're in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs, Gas Extreme is your local gas refill solution. Our shop is conveniently located at Shop 1, Village On Main, 84 Parklands Main Rd, Parklands. We serve customers throughout Parklands, Table View, Blouberg, Milnerton, Century City, and surrounding areas. Can't come to us? We offer delivery services throughout the Northern Suburbs. Simply call us to confirm we service your area, and we'll bring your refilled gas cylinder directly to your door.

How long does a gas cylinder refill take?

For same-day service, our standard turnaround time is 2-4 hours from drop-off to pickup. If you bring your empty cylinder to our Parklands shop in the morning, it's typically ready for collection the same afternoon. For delivery customers, same-day service is available when you order before 2:00 PM, subject to delivery schedule availability. If you're not in a rush, next-day service is always available. We also offer express refill services for emergencies—contact us to discuss your urgent needs.

Do you offer same-day gas refill service?

Yes! Same-day gas refill and delivery is one of our most popular services. For collection customers, drop off your empty cylinder in the morning and pick it up the same afternoon at our Parklands location. For delivery service, order before 2:00 PM and we'll aim to deliver your refilled cylinder the same day, depending on your location and our delivery schedule. Same-day service is subject to availability, especially during peak periods like long weekends and winter months when gas usage increases. We recommend calling ahead to confirm same-day availability for your area.

What sizes of gas cylinders do you refill?

We refill all major LPG cylinder capacities used in South Africa: 9kg, 14kg, 19kg, and 48kg. The size of your gas cylinder is usually printed on the side of the bottle or stamped on the collar. If you're unsure about your cylinder size, bring it to our Parklands shop or send us a photo, and we'll help you identify it. We do not refill damaged, expired (over 15 years old), or non-standard cylinders due to safety regulations. If your cylinder needs replacement, we can advise you on proper disposal and help you acquire a new one.

How do I know when I need a gas refill?

Most people realise they need a gas refill when their appliances stop working! However, there are ways to anticipate when your cylinder is running low. The most reliable method is to weigh your cylinder—subtract the tare weight (empty weight, stamped on the cylinder) from the current total weight to determine remaining gas. You can also gently pour warm water down the side of the cylinder; the gas level will be where the metal feels cool to the touch. Many experienced users develop a sense of timing based on their usage patterns. If you use gas for cooking, a 19kg cylinder typically lasts 4-8 weeks for a family. It's wise to have a spare cylinder on hand, so you're never caught without gas.

Can I exchange my empty cylinder for a full one instead of waiting for a refill?

While our primary service is refilling your existing cylinder, we understand that sometimes you need gas immediately. Contact us at 021 556 2450 to discuss exchange options. We may be able to provide you with a pre-filled cylinder while we refill yours, though this depends on availability and requires a deposit. Exchange services are particularly popular with commercial customers who can't afford downtime. If you're interested in a cylinder exchange program fora regular, convenient gas supply, speak to our team about setting up a commercial account.

What payment methods do you accept for gas refills?

We accept multiple payment methods for your convenience: cash, credit cards (Visa and Mastercard), debit cards, and EFT (electronic funds transfer). For delivery orders, we can process card payments over the phone before delivery, or our driver can accept cash or card payment upon delivery using our mobile payment device. Commercial customers can apply for account facilities with monthly invoicing. We also accept payment via popular mobile payment apps—just ask our staff for available options.

Do you refill damaged or expired cylinders?

No, we cannot refill damaged or expired gas cylinders due to safety regulations. Gas cylinders have a 15-year lifespan from the date of manufacture, which is stamped on the cylinder. After this period, the cylinder must be decommissioned and replaced. Similarly, cylinders with visible damage, such as dents, corrosion, rust, damaged valves, or compromised structural integrity,y cannot be safely refilled. If we identify that your cylinder is damaged or expired during our inspection process, we'll inform you immediately and recommend safe disposal. We can help you acquire a replacement cylinder to ensure you maintain your gas supply safely and legally.

How should I store my gas cylinder safely at home?

Proper gas cylinder storage is essential for safety. Always store your cylinder outdoors or in a well-ventilated area—never in an enclosed space like a cupboard, basement, or inside your home. Keep the cylinder upright and on a stable, flat surface away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and ignition sources. Maintain at least 1.5 meters distance from windows, doors, and air vents. Ensure the valve is fully closed when not in use and check connections regularly for leaks using soapy water (never use a flame to check for leaks). Keep cylinders away from children and secure them to prevent tipping. For detailed storage guidance specific to your situation, our team is always happy to provide personalised advice.
