    Can't think of where else to put this.

    Need more gas for my Portasol (gas soldering iron) and can't find anywhere selling lighter gas. Tried all the local Centra/Spars/Tesco including the Centra I got it in last time a year or so ago. Plenty of zippo fluid around, but just blank looks (or 11kg of Calor Kosengas) when I look for the gas.

    Any ideas where else to look?
    Thanks

    I just get mine in my local Londis 'convenience store'. It comes in a pretty normal looking aerosol can.

    Yeah that's what i was expecting. like i said tried about 3 or 4 different Spar/Centra around the place without joy. Guess all the youngsters in my area have moved on to something else :(

    The can I have is branded as "Newport extra purified butane gas" as shown here http://www.newportbutane.com/2-CANS-OF-NEWPORT-BUTANE-LIGHTER-GAS-EXTRA-PURIFIED-300-ml-101102.htm.

    Now I must admit I did have some trouble getting the girl behind the counter to understand what I wanted, and had to point it out to her but it was there.
