6kg Gas Cylinder Price in Kenya

A 6kg gas cylinder refill currently costs approximately KSh 900–1,100 in Kenya.
The final refill price can vary depending on your location, brand and the supplier providing the refill.

6kg Complete Gas Cylinder Set Price
A new 6kg complete gas cylinder set costs approximately KSh 2,650–3,400.
The complete package described by KeGasDealers includes:

When comparing refill prices, remember that the amount you pay can also be affected by location, delivery and the supplier or brand you choose.
Gas Cylinder Prices by Brand
Gas cylinder prices can differ between brands and suppliers. KeGasDealers provides LPG products and information covering several brands available in the Kenyan market.
K-Gas
If you are looking for K-Gas specifically, compare the available K-Gas 6kg and 13kg prices in Kenya.
For customers looking for a 13kg refill, see the K-Gas 13kg refill retail and wholesale page.
Other LPG Brands
Prices may also vary between brands such as Total, Pro-Gas, Afrigas, Rubis and other LPG suppliers. When comparing products, look at the cylinder size, whether the cylinder is filled, the accessories included and the delivery location rather than comparing the headline price alone.
Empty vs Filled Gas Cylinder Prices
One of the most important distinctions when comparing gas cylinder prices is whether you are buying an empty cylinder or a filled cylinder or complete set.
Empty Gas Cylinder
An empty cylinder contains no LPG. Its price is therefore different from a complete filled set because the cost of the gas and any included accessories may not be included.
For wholesale buyers, see our guide to gas cylinder wholesale prices in Kenya.
Filled Gas Cylinder
A filled cylinder contains LPG and therefore combines the value of the cylinder with the gas inside it.
Complete Gas Cylinder Set
A complete set can include the cylinder, LPG and additional equipment such as a regulator, hosepipe, burner or weighing grill. Always check exactly what is included before comparing prices from different sellers.
Gas Cylinder Wholesale Prices in Kenya
If you are buying LPG cylinders for resale, a restaurant, accommodation business or another commercial operation, wholesale pricing can be different from individual retail pricing.
Bulk buyers should compare:
- Cylinder size
- Brand
- Number of cylinders required
- Whether the cylinders are empty or filled
- Accessories included
- Delivery location
- Wholesale terms

Why Gas Cylinder Prices Vary in Kenya
There is not necessarily one identical LPG price for every customer across Kenya. The final price can vary according to several factors.
1. Cylinder Size
A 6kg cylinder and a 13kg cylinder contain different quantities of LPG, so their refill and complete-set prices are different.
2. Brand
Different LPG brands can have different distribution networks and product pricing.
3. Location
Transport and delivery logistics can affect the final amount paid by customers in different towns and neighbourhoods.
4. Refill vs New Cylinder
A refill of an existing cylinder is different from purchasing a new filled cylinder complete with accessories.
5. Accessories
A complete set containing a regulator, hosepipe, burner or weighing grill will cost more than a gas refill alone.
6. Wholesale Quantity
Customers purchasing multiple cylinders for resale or commercial use may have access to different pricing from individual retail customers.
