think you should be able to burn off the gas and send the bottle in for a refund, ive got one connected to my bottle atm which is ok and a spare one on the van that i spose will need returning, ill ask at the merchants when i next go in. Has anyone actuly had this happen yet?

[bob the plumber]

you would think the merchants would be contacting anyone who they have sold to? i have 2 bottles dated before jan 15th and a superfire 2 which it also says isnt right if im reading correctly, wouldnt mind getting that sent back, its had better days

I think it just means any sf2's bought with a mapp bottle

[dancinplumba]

i bought a box load ages ago of the mapp gas and i got a letter today telling me to return/burn off any i have left

[marleyco]

If I'm reading it correct, its just the yellow they are recalling, last 3 blue bottles I've had have been leaking, so have to leave burner on to stop it, I got a sf2 torch in December too,which was a replacement for the other new one which was passing gas,

[dancinplumba]

my letter states MAP-PRO,PROPYLENE AND MAPP, yellow or black
lot codes on the bottom starts with W_D,W_E,W_F,W_G,W_H,W_J,W_K,W_L
all form 2004 onwards.
if they have black or white diamondon the cylinder shoulder are not affected

I had a mapp bottle kept in the shed which I used for occasional brazing. Before Christmas I found it was empty, and thought at the time strange, I'm sure it had plenty in it a while ago.

Shame I chucked it out! Ah well, at least my shed never exploded.

[AWheating]

i never take the nozzle off the bottle anyway as i have had loads that have leaked.

[gas man]

so no one knows if the blue bottle is affected?

[dancinplumba]

blue bottles not affected according to my letter gman

[tamz]

I've noticed a few blue ones leaking too over the past while when the nozzle is removed. Doesn't bother me as i just put it back on. No big deal and i certainly wouldn't be burning it off.
Primus bottles are better anyway. Never stuck for a hammer with one of them
