i moved into an area were i discovered you need to go a very long distance before you refill your cylinder. this steered up the desire to service my environment. i dont have money for a big set up. i would want to know what the basic requirements are. minimum amount needed etc

If what u want is a small retail shop. I need to ask, are u going to b in charge or u will put some one to over see the business for u. Depending on cost of rent for the shop. With 1million or a little less. u shd b fine to keep ds off. Just identify a gasplant and purchase from them. N den resell. You need to buy cylinders, weighing scale, re fill hose etc.

If u will running d business ursef. You probably need to go learn how to fill d cylinders. That is how to transfer d gas from your cylinder to that of your customers. This is very important, so dat you dont waste your gas, coz gas any little carelessness. E don loss b dat. Also honesty is important. Do not cut corners by under filling customers cylinders. They will run once de notice this.

You need at least about 50 of dose big cylinders
A weight machine to check d size of ur customers cylinders before and after filling
A calculator
Two cylinder filling pipe and tap

thanks. But I see a lot of people around abuja selling gas with way less than 50 cylinders. Infant, the guy I buy from operates his business under a tree with only a few cylinders and a few accessories he sells. That guys set up can't be more than 300k
