Eastern Cape notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Motor and component plants in Struandale, Markman and the Coega area, and in East London's West Bank, run LPG forklifts and rent argon, CO2 and oxygen. Salt air in Summerstrand and Gonubie rusts cages and regulators, so pick coated cages and check them yearly. In Mthatha and Butterworth, buy regulators and hoses made for LPG, and test every joint with soapy water.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from a windy, salty coastline to cold Karoo plateaus and the mountains of the former Transkei. LPG arrives through the ports and by road to dealers and refill stations in Gqeberha, East London, Mthatha and the smaller towns. Motor component factories around Gqeberha and East London use LPG forklifts and welding gas, while holiday towns like Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred see gas cooking and braais in season. Inland, Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Queenstown get hard frost, so heaters and fireplaces are common. Sheep and dairy farms rely on scheduled delivery. Coastal wind and salt rust cylinders and cages, so check valves and collars before every refill.
