Some agencies in Abuja has taken successful court actions against indivduals for unauthorized refilling and will continue to do so.

It is good to know that older version of gas cylinders are more heavier than recent one's. With a 26.5 litre cylinder capacity and 14kg tare weight.
The 12.5kg gas bottle can also weighs 21 - 22kg when full. The weight variation is in the empty 12.5kg gas cylinder weight.
