Tuesday Drop Off
You can drop off your empty propane bottle with them.

5-24 SV Hana I confirmed yesterday the propane truck comes to the Mobil station in Pao Pao on
Tuesdays. They will take your tank to PPT and bring it back the following Tuesday. Another option, if one
is in a hurry, would be to see if one of the daily couriers that run between MOZ and PPT would take it to
the gas plant and get it filled for you the same day.

The guy at Moorea Gaz circumnavigates the island in his truck and can pick up or deliver to pretty
much any landmark along the island’s main road. I handed my tank off to him at the Haapiti dock after
scheduling a time and place by phone.
The bottles are shipped to Tahiti on Monday to get filled and return by ferry on Tuesday.
The price for propane was 352 XPF per kilo, plus a handling fee of 1000 XPF for my one (6kg capacity)

### Campgaz Cooking Bottles
Island: **Tahiti**

We have had a number of folks looking for the larger blue bottles called Campgaz. After much searching
including going to the Gaz plant in Fare Ute they were unable to find ones for sale.
Please let me know if you find these for sale. See picture

9-21 According to SV Capall Mara Ace Hardware in Papeete has all the fittings to fill your own bottles
But NOT the larger tanks..
We tried to buy one in Tahiti even visiting Tahiti Gas but couldn’t get one. You can get them refilled inTahiti but be aware if considered too rusty they won’t do it. We haven’t been able to get the Camping
Gaz refilled in Hauhine or Bora Bora. Purchased 13kg bottle instead and have decanted into our three
Camping Gaz bottles. Good luck
