They don't seem to fill foreign bottles anymore since it is not legal. Also the Gasco Shop up the road/hill wasn't able to help with foreign bottles.
NOTE - "be careful, they filled way too much gas in our (Chilean!) bottle and we didn't recognize it immediately. therefore we had a lot of gas inside our car a few hours later..."
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Se puede cambiar aquí los botellas chilenos de Abastible (y lipigas creo) con Gasco, se paga solo en efectivo. hay de 2, 5, 11, 15 y 45 Kg
Report Check-Inwe tried again later, in better spanish. they filled our chilean bottles. 10000clp for 5kg thankfully, saved us!
Report Check-Insaid they don't fill gas and only sell big bottles of 11kg and more. and very unfriendly
Report Check-InThey did not fill my German gas bottle here. A lady at the front door told me it is illegal to fill foreign bottles in Chile. The gasco shop up the road it wasn't any different. Before that I already tried Gasco in Punta Arenas but wasn't lucky. It seems on the western side of south america there are no possibilities between El Calafate and Ushuaia to fill your foreign bottles.
Report Check-InVery friendly but unable to load our Bresilian bottle.
She sent us to the gasco shop upper on the road because she only loads but they had only "Big" bottles (11kg)
Was a disappointing visit! Staff on duty was not able to fill us bottles! :(
Report Check-InThey filled our 11kilo US propane bottle as they have US adaptors. 20,000 pesos. More expensive than usual but you are pretty far down South. dropped it in at 1pm, came back at 2pm and it was done. Happy days.
Report Check-InThey could connect to our US bottle no problem but she did not weigh our bottle before or after adding propane. Not really sure how much she actually added. It did not feel full after. She charged us 4000 for what she said was 4kg.
Report Check-InVery helpful, willing to call in the employee that can fill US style valves on her day off.
Report Check-InVery helpful people. They could fill the bottle. 2000 ch per kilo. They had the adaptor
Report Check-Inbe careful, they filled way too much gas in our (Chilean!) bottle and we didn't recognize it immediately. therefore we had a lot of gas inside our car a few hours later...
Report Check-InNice staff, they have adapters for all type of bottles..11kg for 20'000 pesos
Report Check-InWe had to knock on what looked like someone's front door but we got propane. We added a picture to help you locate it.
