Hi
Has anyone had trouble with using LPG in cold weather?
My tank (underslung) is full, but I cant get any gas out of it from the cooker, fridge etc. Basically, the gas does not appear to be boiling (gassing).
I know this is an issue with butane, but LPG is 95% propane, and thus there should not be an issue!
I was in europe in the summer where the butane content is higher, so there is likely a good deal more butane than the ~5% that apparentely goes into LPG in the UK. However, as far as I know, the butane content wont gas, but the propane content will, so whatever the temp, and even if (discounting 80% cutoffs) there is 10L of Butane in a 20L tank, there should still be 10L of combustable propane available...
At the moment, it looks like I have to cancel a planned trip to Mull as I cant cook or heat the van or water etc!
Rather anoying! My only other route is to ditch the underslung tank and go back to using bottled, but thats a days work at least!
Anyone offer any advice?
