What's the difference between Blue and Red Gas

Blue gas is Butane

Red gas is Propane.

Both gasses can be used on most gas appliances.

The main difference is that Butane flows slower in the cold. So if you are caravanning in the winter, you may have to come to the shop and exchange the blue bottle for a red one! It always happens just when you want a cup of Tea!

Technically propane does burn a little hotter, but most normal people will not notice the difference.

Note that if you do change gas type, then you will also need a new regulator or new pigtail fitting if you have a fitted regulator in your later caravan.
