Question - Can you fit this stuff yourself or does it have to be done by a Corgi fitter and gas tested?

ok, got my 70ltr tank off ebay for £150, now to give it to brother-in-law (coachbuilder by trade) very handy just hope it doesnt cost too much now for a remote flush filler cap in side of van. I think were almost there, just trying to decide now whether to get a generator to take along as emergency back-up, have seen them going for around £50-60 on ebay, anybody use one? are they really silent as described?

Those who advocate buying adaptors on ebay so normal leisure-gas bottles can be filled at autogas dispensers always seem to gloss over the fact that it is not only invariably illegal, but also puts a lot of people in danger in the event that the bottle is overfilled and later starts blowing off at the relief valve - perhaps in the boot or even worse, inside a car.

But like handing a tool to someone without explaining that if they use it incorrectly, it will kill them.

Yes Terry, I recently read on The Times that quite a few of your countrymen are in that exact category - to the tune of some 250 deaths at the hands of unlicensed, unregistered untaxed drivers. I guess you are hoping that you are not the next victim. But I'm talking about the legality and safety of a particular practice - that of filling leisure gas bottles on the forecourt of a service station.

If it is OK, just go and tell the attendant what you are going to do and see if he enables the pump. If part of the instructions from the ebay seller are to pull up so the attendant can't see what you are doing then surely that would sound a warning to most responsible people that any amount of silly emoticons is not going to change.

Hi Tony, it is not Ilegal to fill your own bottles see the web page for MTH gas,only ilegal to refill calor's own bottles because they state only to be refilled by calor.Everyone refers to calor because here they are the biggest well known supplier,if you own your own bottles you can fill them.
Here when we watch tv most of the uninsured drivers seam to be either druggies or imports,(that is not to say all)that is our government's fault,unlike yours (aussie)ours lets anyone in heresorry different debate

edit, I have had the owner of a garage watch me fill a bottle and ask where I got the filler from,he thought it great and wanted one,Probably to refill the gas bottles he sold hee hee

Just give up with Propane or Butane and switch to LPG I have just completed a 5 month trip to Beijing and back and got LPG in Italy, Turkey, China and Russia with out any problems. The solution is available from Gaslow!

butane and propane are lpg. liquid petroliem gas. i think you mean auto gas .just get a fill up gadget then fill at garages n gas yards. last caller isconfused . you can fill any bottle if you get the right adaptor.butane, propane or autogas . all works just use the regulator to fit your bottle dont worry about different regulators.
