KwaZulu-Natal notes on lpg & gas cylinders
Restaurants on Florida Road, in Umhlanga Ridge and along Ballito's Compensation Beach Road often run two 48 kg cylinders on a changeover valve with weekly delivery. Households in Westville, Hillcrest and Kloof swap 9 kg and 19 kg cylinders. Poultry farms near Camperdown and Cato Ridge and hotels on the North Coast may run bulk tanks filled by tanker.
KwaZulu-Natal: the supply, the weather and the buildings
KwaZulu-Natal has a busy port, and LPG moves inland from Durban by road to dealers, refill stations and delivery services across the province. On the humid coast from Umhlanga to Ballito and down the South Coast, gas cooks in homes, runs restaurant kitchens and heats water in holiday flats, and salt air rusts cylinder collars, valves, regulators and cage hinges. Inland, Pietermaritzburg, the Midlands and Newcastle get cold winters, so heaters and fireplaces matter. Sugar cane, timber and poultry farms use gas too, and factories in Pinetown and Richards Bay run forklifts. Estates on the North Coast often set strict rules on where cylinders stand, so check before ordering.
Typical gas bottle refills requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: residents refilling owned cylinders where the estate allows only certain sizes
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: takeaways and food trucks refilling several owned cylinders on one trip
