Gauteng notes on lpg & gas cylinders
Refill stations and exchange points are easy to find along Beyers Naude Drive, in Randburg and around Pretoria West, and many deliver 48 kg cylinders the same day. Restaurants in Sandton, Rosebank and Menlyn often run two 48 kg cylinders on a changeover valve, and bigger kitchens and hotels near OR Tambo look at bulk tanks. Townhouses in Midstream and Fourways mostly use 9 kg and 19 kg cylinders for a hob or braai.
Gas in Gauteng
Gauteng gets its LPG by road, from filling plants and depots on the East Rand and around the metros, out to gas dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies in nearly every suburb. Many households moved their cooking and water heating to gas during load shedding and kept it, so 9 kg and 48 kg cylinders now stand beside townhouses and family homes alike. Highveld winters are cold and dry, which brings out the indoor heaters: use them in a ventilated room and never leave one on overnight. Estates and body corporates often set rules on where cylinders may stand, and theft from open yards is common enough that a lockable, ventilated cage is worth pricing.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a small cylinder for a balcony braai where the estate rules allow it
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: market stalls and pop up stands running a single burner or warmer
