My Shellane LPG gas tank ran out this week. I have never had a problem getting a replacement ... until now. For some reason there are none to be had anywhere. Consequently we are cooking with charcoal at the moment. We are also using the rice cooker and microwave (when the electricity supply is working!).
Our strategy now is to purchase a new tank of a different brand with the appropriate regulator valve. This way we believe we will be able to change to the second tank and have 6 weeks or so to find a re-fill.
Somebody suggested that the supply is being stock-piled by someone in an effort to force the price up. Does anyone know where the problem of supply lies?
