Does anyone know if it is possible to link up 3 gas appliances to 1 gas bottle (possibly by a 3 way outlet manifold ).All appliances will be within a metre or so of each other

No problem. The best and safest way is to use a manifold with taps for each outlet. Available from caravan shops or ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290704805785

.... a word of advice....local (Spanish) gas pipe is 1mm different ID (inside dia) than Brit stuff.
I ended up making adaptors out of brass tube on a lathe.
I think Spanish tube is 9mm ID and Brit is 8mm (or vice versa...I cant remember!)
Before I did this I used 2 x tee junctions sourced locally

Thanks for that,forgot to ask,would there be a significant loss of pressure if 2 or more appliances where on at the same time..ie cooker, BBQ,paella burner.It would not be for boiler or fridge use.

You need to work out how many Kg/hr of gas each appliance uses and make sure the regulator is not being over loaded as it can only supply X Kg/hr.  If you overload it then the individual appliances will not function correctly.

If you want to work with a manifold then it's better to connect a couple or more bottles to it, particularly if using a water heater as this has high peak demand.

Do you always burn your paellas????????
i ran a gas fridge and a cooker from one bottle no probs, also did a gas bbq and a double gas hotplate from a single bottle with no loss of pressure. I used a brass Tee piece from Clibagas
