Fuel and bottled gas are reasonably priced, as Curaçao has its own oil refinery.
NO gas bottles without security valves will be refilled in Curaçao.
Camping Gaz bottles cannot be handled.
Many cruisers may find the only option is to buy an American bottle and regulator.
American bottles and regulators can be purchased at the industrial zone in Willemstad. Take the 4A (Seru Fortunas) bus and stop at the industrial zone with Kooyman or Building Depot.
The local name for an American bottle is BBQ propane tank (aluminium ~9kg of gas) and the regulator.
Bottles can be filled at the Münzenberg Pompe Station. Again, take the 4A Bus in the direction of Seru Fortuna. The 4A bus can be taken back to Willemstad.

Anybody wanting fire extinguisher checked or serviced or other fire services. We found Catis very expensive and difficult to try to do business with. A take leaves its attitude. Probably consistent with any company that has had a monopoly for a too long. Fortunately, we found an incredible young company with dynamic owners that assisted us for 25 % less and were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Their interest in our boat and safety was first class. I can strongly recommend this company “AGNESI FIRE PROTECTION / S.A.F.E. B.V” run and owned by a duo Rob and Rufino. Contact d.vanrosberg@safe.cw +5999 518 7767. http://www.safe.cw
Be aware there is a (poorly marked) reef just before the entry of Curacao Marine Boatyard. Make sure you stay to the left of the Versali Bay and keep the white buoy to your starboard side!.
