I have an old 15kg Agip Gas cylinder. After a long period out of circulation I have decided to start using it again. Supermarkets will not touch it. I was advised to go to a Shell petrol station because they are the ones who acquired Agip but when I got to one, I was given a long story. Apparently they gave a three year period for people to exchange the cylinders, then they started charging some fee for the exchange and now they no longer accept the cylinders!!! Any wazuans who knows how I can change the cylinder. There some wazauns who were discussing the business sometime back so I'm sure I will get the actionable info. Thank you. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

And Shell's website http://www.shell.com/glo...tact/contact-kenya.html lists two email addresses - shellkenya@ksl.shell.com and csc@ksl.shell.com - that don't work. Email bounces back!!! And on calling, the phone is picked by someone with no info. who quickly switches to Swahili to try and explain herself and the lack of info. thereof. Who runs a company like this??? They surely need to style up!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I have other cylinders which I freely interchange from one to the other - Total to K-Gas to Afrigas etc. The one I'm talking about is a 15kg Agip gas cylinder that has been idle for quite a while.

Someone tells me there are authorized companies that do "revalidation". The cylinder is cut and redone to current specifications. Who knows where I can get this done and the cost? Contacts will also be very helpful. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

A gas cylinder cost around Kes. 3,000. You have other cylinders you are currently using freely. And you dont need to stock gas cylinders awaiting usage. You want to cut the Agip cylinder, weld it, then fix the standard nozzle on it. WHY GO ALL THESE FAR FOR JUST 3K?

HATA KAMA NI SENTIMENTAL VALUE, THIS IS TOO MEAN!! Kuws mpole @Impunity. As of this morning, I thought I would just walk into a supermarket/petrol station with my Agip gas cylinder and walk out with a cylinder of my choice with gas. The issue of revalidation I was told after starting this thead and finally, A 13kg cylinder does not go for 3,000/= unless you've been buying stolen ones enroute to Southern Sudan. For information sake, tell me a GENUINE outlet I can buy a 13kg cylinder for 3,000/= and you can have my 15kg Agip gas cylinder for free!!! Never count on making a good sale.

Any wazuans who knows how I can change the cylinder. There some wazauns who were discussing the business sometime back so I'm sure I will get the actionable info.
Thank you. Try green energy guys...I bought their gas last year and they took my old 15kg afrigas cylinder in exchange for their 13kg cylinder. Their prices were even better at the time. But i dont know if they still take other cylinders now.

I Know that there are a few Jua Kali Guys who still do revalidation but again the Cylinder is never the same and I would not recommend you use afterwards. If you Insist I can try get you a Contact but I do not think it is worth it. Just accept. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

They were doing that as they were new entrants in what is regarded by ERC as a "pool". Problem is that you will show up with their Cylinder at a TOTAL or KENOL and they will refuse to Pick the Green cylinder. Gas Business is Murky, and the big boys Monopolistic. those who are in it know what I am talking about. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..
