I know a lot of you are campy types, - I have a question.
I've got an old tent heater that uses a C200 Camping Gaz cartridge.
As these C200 cartridges are now obsolete, I wondered if the new C206 cartridges would be compatable?

Cheers!

Clearing out the shed a while back I found an original "bluey" cartridge at the back of a shelf, unpierced but empty..... it had rusted through !

C206 will work in place of a C200. How is the rubber grommet that seals the valve to the cartridge? They can perish with age, in which case you might get a leak when you pierce the valve into the new cartridge.

I remember looking into this some years ago having been caught out with a stock of the wrong kind, although they looked the same size.
I think I recall that one of the sizes differed in being very slightly shorter, which could be made up using a circle of plywood of the right thickness underneath the cylinder. I can't remember which one was the shorter.

Thanks for the interesting replies, I'm going down the screwfix route first and hopefully I won't blow myself up in the process.

Why would you want to heat a tent?

[Formerlyjeremy]

So that you can go to sleep with it on and wake up to a real fire - or not wake up to the carbon monoxide/dioxide mix if you tent was really well sealed.

A quick search online reveals that with a gas heater in a tent, you stand a good chance of you waking up dead.

Buy one of these. Click HERE
I leave mine on all night when it's really cold. Exhaust extension to the outside. This will save you from waking up dead..

Or a better sleeping bag ?

The dog gets in mine with me when it's cold. Just like see does at home in the bed.
