Hi is it possible to exchange Cepsa butane bottles at a local outlet ?

As the local depot won’t exchange 

(shower is cold in the morning as gas bottle is outside)

Hi 

I have used both butano and propano every time the bottels are outside and never ever found that this would create a cold shower?

Have you tried turning the temperature gauge on your water heater up?

Also the propane burns hotter and if your appliance dose not have the correct jet it can cause damage.
