Just found this on calor site:
How full is a Calor gas cylinder in a full condition, in percentage terms?
All cylinders are 80-87% full as space needs to be left for the expansion of liquid. The weight on the front of the cylinder is the total weight of gas in the bottle.
[broken link removed]
Doesn't answer the question though of what weight they are when empty - I can usually tell, I can lift when they are empty or nearly empty - when full my DH has to move it!
