Filling and exchange
This is a normal exchange gas bottle, not a Tankflasche. According to the summary by Deutscher Verband Flüssiggas e.V. "Tankflaschen in Wohnfahrzeugen - Neue Regelungen in der DVGW G 607 (Ausgabe Juni 2026)", gas bottles must not be filled at filling stations in Germany (legal basis: TRBS 3151 / TRGS 751). The manufacturer states that ALUGAS bottles are exchanged at exchange points in Germany, e.g. in many larger DIY and camping stores; outside Germany exchange is only possible at a few locations. ALUGAS bottles are owned, not rented.
