Do hardware stores there have something else or am I missing something?
The heavy steel tank in your link is pretty common in the camping section of US Wal-Marts, but I never saw anything like it when I was in Scotland or the rest of the UK. I got the impression that the screw-on fitting used in MSR canisters was pretty much the default fitting for gas canisters in Europe and the UK.
