Buy a 2 kW generator and a fan heater
The pressure in an LPG tank is directly linked to the temperature. The regulator has to be able to cope with huge differences in tank pressure. The extra pressure from filling should not be a problem.This may be teaching my granny to suck eggs but I will post as some may not know.
everyone is turning off their bottles before refilling them arenāt they? If not this can damage the bulkhead regulator causing premature failure.
Ask wully about the remote system he fitted in his words CRAPWe will run them both together like one big tank and look at the cost of the remote gauge.
I think the key word here is āshouldā. I have forgotten to turn it off once or twice without a problem but generally feel it is better turned off. A sudden surge from 100psi to 200psi is asking a lot of the regulator.The pressure in an LPG tank is directly linked to the temperature.

I am happy to do what Gaslow recommend and I turn off both tanks before filling. I also make sure I alternate tanks so I donāt get over pressure in one cylinder.The pressure in an LPG tank is directly linked to the temperature.

That is ok if you have a crash regulator and burst protection on the high pressure hose but I still try to remember to turn off when filling.I leave mine turned on for two reasons, one is in the winter I have the heating on 24/7 because I like it hot in the van (ask anyone who knows me ) and secondly I would never remember to turn them off anyway

Where can I get a automated Maggie?I have always turned the gas off when filling, I have an automated reminder system shouting out "have you turned the gas off?" "I don't want to get blown up!!!!!"
