Benoni notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Factories and workshops in Benoni South, New Modder and Apex run LPG forklifts and rent argon, CO2 and oxygen and acetylene for fabrication.

Party planners near the lakes order rented helium cylinders for weddings and functions.
Benoni: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Benoni is known for its lakes and its spread of smallholdings to the east, and gas use changes as you head out of town. Houses around Homestead Lake, Farrarmere and Lakefield entertain with gas braais and patio heaters, and many run gas hobs and tankless geysers. Plots in Benoni Agricultural Holdings, Putfontein and Bredell keep 48 kg cylinders for the house, and some keep poultry with gas brooders. In Daveyton and Etwatwa, 9 kg exchanges for cooking and heating are common. LPG reaches dealers and refill stations in Benoni South and Northmead by road. Delivery to far plots takes planning, and frost settles on low ground in winter.
Typical empty gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a second empty 9 kg so one is full while the other goes for refilling
- Farms and smallholdings: owned cylinders filled in town and carried out to the farm by bakkie
- Campers, caravanners and event hosts: a 2 kg or 3 kg cylinder for camping, fishing trips and the caravan
