where is your lpg filler ??

[cheyenne]

hi guys . for the second time since 2008 coming to the end of our french tour . the first time was about 10 years ago a lady came out to check what we was filling up the second time last week at Calais as you might know or not know you have to go in to the tills & tell them to turn on the pump & sometimes you have to give a deposit . but this time he ask what we was filling up & came out to check which we have an outside filler if not no fill he said . cheyenne

Stopped in UK and France from filling up on a few occasions, this little mod has sorted it

External above locker door into 1x11Kg and 1x6Kg Gaslow. Heads up appreciated but so far never challenged in France.

I have that kit and its time to fit it, long overdue.

External fill on the nearside skirt, up into the gas cupboard via the venting tubes and then connected to 2 x 11kg Gaslow cylinders. Fitted by Autogas 2000 at Thirsk on 13th July 2021

Total Filling Stations refused refilling in France; Hyper U & Leclerc Hypermarkets were quite happy, and no problem at all in Spain

I have a fill point on each side of the van, so I don’t have to worry which side of the van the pump comes up on.

Think as long as it is an external filler you won't have a problem.

My filler is in the gas locker and never had a refusal either in the UK or abroad.

There are indeed some places in France where LPG is supplied only when there is an employee at the filling station (but not necessarily turned off if manned), but there are many places where the filling station is unmanned 24/7 and one simply fills as one would do for any other fuel.

Always either had or fitted an external fill point.

I was going to get that done Rog as my gas point is opposite side to diesel. Charlie said I was stupid and not to bother though lol, you know how he doesn’t mince words.
A gas bottle lasts me a long time though as I only use it to cook. I mean months now from a 6kg when it’s just me and the dogs (constant use). The 11kg Gaslow bottle has been sat in the greenhouse all year I use so little lol

Ours is on the outside, and it was interesting to see what the van is made of.
