Sizes of Camping Gaz cylinders
      #1860463 - 15/05/2008 21:42

I have been trying to find the dimensions (Height and Diameter) of the 2 larger Camping Gaz cylinders, the 904 and 907.
Even the Camping Gaz site only states the weight of gas therein, which is not what I need

Does any one know the dimensions or can point me to an appropriate site ?

904 7" height, 8" diameter
907 a bit higher (mine are on the boat), same diameter.

Many thanks, I now need to check gas locker size to see if either will fit.

If it helps I would guess that the 907 is about 3" higher.

If you can, go for the 907 size. The bottles aren't cheap, but the bigger one works out quite a bit less expensive. I rebuilt my locker to take the bigger bottles........which is why I have a 904 in the kitchen at the moment.

Yes the 904 works out much dearer, £18.05 here in Glasgow and only a couple quid more for the 907.
An empty 907/904 is aprox £52 to buy, then extra for the gas.
I have a spare 904 which I can punt if you need one.

Not quite . It is a shade under 9" 5/8 (the 904 is 1/16 over 7")

May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it's only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage."

Sometimes 904's are not available but a locker that will take a 907 will also take a 904 whilst a locker that will only take a 904 . .
