The last one we got from the Butano delivery lorry was about 17.50€, that was about a month ago.

The "correct" price has recently gone up to 17.50€ as Sparky says, but certain shops (ferreterias, trebol to name but a few) do add a small fee onto the price as you do not have to be registered with them to get a new bottle - convenience fee really . There is also a Repsol "agent" in the Port of Alcudia where you can get the bottles at the normal price. I use the word agent loosely as I think it is a bloke in a Repsol shirt selling them from his garage HAHA

Is anyone able to confirm if the Butano delivery lorry still does it's rounds on a Wednesday in the Gommar area please?

Hi Eleanor, i can't say for sure but there has been no change for me (always Mondays) so i would assume it is still Wednesdays in Gommar .

Thanks very much Sparky. Need to buy a couple of new plus fill up the existing.
Husband asked me the question as he is in PP and I just couldn't remember if the day had changed. Thanks again.

What size of gas cylinder are you referring to? 15kg Calor butane (blue cylinder) is £33 here in the UK. The smaller 7kg cylinder is £21.50.

Clinkham, here the bottles are orange and 13.7kg .

Thanks Danny and Sparky for the confirmation. Must remember to remind husband to put outside the gate or they don't stop do they?
This reminds me of years ago when we used to leave the empty plus the money in an envelope outside. Not sure it would be safe to do that now!

his bike! lol That's his next 'apprentice' task!

Did he leave an empty bottle outside the gate Eleanor?, they usually blast the horn when they see them but if they don't they drive on.

Mike - when you own in PP there is never a holiday! lol

This is probably not new news but just for info sake I found out that pinturas TREBOL in the round "square" oposite Confort, sells (changes) the large butane gas bottles at € 16 a pop and if you buy some paint or filler will knock a bit off.
He also sticks the bottle in the car for you.
Handy because he is open 6 days a week and saves having to drive up to the Pollensa roundabout on Saturday mornings.

Thanks Molt - that is handy to know!
If we had run out, we used to get ours from Ferreteria de Tot behind the Petrol Station in Puerto Pollensa but they have now closed down.
Luckily, the gas bottle truck also comes down our street every Monday morning so if we are lucky we can use that too, with delivery to the door.

Yes we always get ours from the butano man on Mondays, they even carry the bottles up a few stairs and put it in the lift for us, very helpful
