Morrisons LPG REFUSE TO FILL

[The laird]

Just had a great run in with Morrisons fuel group customer services after I refused to move off the forecourt until I got confirmation of refusing to fill my lpg system (gas fill from external,point) all forecourt staff have been instructed unless it's a on board tank no refills are permitted
I told them they are bs safe and ncc recognise this system but no way hosie they say here's my email from mfg
I enjoyed my debate sad the outcome was this

 

[jeffmossy]

I boycott ALL Samuel Smith pubs because they don't allow campervans on their car park and morrisons because of the no gas refill policy, also Scarborough and Whitby as they are anti motorhome councils

[The laird]

Barry the reply was only fixed tanks?..

Stuff em, use the independents, or we might lose those as well.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

How can they tell what you are filling from the shop window anyway, a tank and a cylinder are essentially the same other than the take off points, the filler is remote which should be the criterior.

Underslyng according to my phone conversation is a no go also barry
Vehicles using lpg for propulsion appear to be the only ones ,I blocked the pumps for over a hour on the phone for 30mins came home and the email was as posted
As far as they indicated underslung is still a bottle in their opinion

Surely an underslung lpg tank fits their emailed description of LPG being dispensed directly into a vehicle's tank

Exactly what I said to them

It really just comes down to the basic position that a retailer doesn't have to sell you anything if they don't want to.

So they have banned motorhome filling

A subby I used to use had a whole fleet of sprinters that ran on LPG, shame they can't all turn up and block the forcourt.

BUT, if a retailer treats 2 customers differently, the busines owner lays themselves open to a charge of discrimination, and, if you think of the stupid money that Morrisons and their ilk shell out for their Xmas advertising campaign, a 'no smoke without fire' reaction from other customers/potential customers can destroy the intended positive outcomes of the marketing spend.

This is what’s on display at Morrisons

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I'll not bother troubling them again, we can go at least a week on 6kg of LPG if I'm too stupid or lazy to find a top up, I still have a Calor cylinder.

Very useful information there @The laird . The last I heard was that SafeFill had negotiated with Morrisons to allow their bottles to be refilled. That has obviously changed.
The idiot that I bought my current camper from proudly showed me his refilling adaptor that he used to refill Calor bottles. I stood back in horror and said I am amazed that you are standing there, breathing. He couldn't understand the danger. He just said that he would connect an empty Calor bottle, press the fill button on the pump, count to ten and then it would be full. Now, would you want to be in the same town as him when he was doing that? It's because of people like that who should be in Broadmoor in a straight jacket that Morrisons have banned it.
When I bought the camper and got it home the very first thing I did after turning off the engine was to clamp the adaptor in my vice and cut it in half with my angle grinder so that no one will ever use it.
Ebay are just as bad, selling the adaptors. Surely they should be illegal. But since when did Ebay consider locking out scammers and selling dangerous tools?

Gordon have you not got room in your yard for a LPG tank then you could sell it to the likes of us

He does not need a tank Dave, he has a constant supply coming out of his rear end, but would you like to cook your chops on that gas
