Does anyone know if there is access for an 8m van to the LPG pump here? I can't seem to zoom in enough on GoogleMaps to find where it is under the canopy. Any local knowledge gratefully received. :)

Must have happened in the last few weeks then.
We always fill up at Morrisons Ipswich and never had a problem.
There was some chat ages ago that Morrisons had stopped serving MoHo's but it was all a load of 'horlicks'. I asked the staff at Ipswich at the time if there was a problem with supplying gas to motor homes but they said they did a lot of business with MoHo's and were not aware of any problems or company rules banning such sales.

I was planning on filling up with gas there on our way to Burnham-on-Crouch at the beginning of Oct. Maybe I'd better give them a ring first if there's likely to be a problem.

If so, I can fill up at the more expensive Texaco near Leatherhead.

I think that is the official position, since that fire somewhere near Manchester a year or two ago. However, it appears that individual staff don't always follow the line.
Not so, according to the staff at Ipswich Morrisons.
When I put that to them a year or so ago they had no knowledge of any ban on supplying motorhomes. (see my post above)
I think this comes into the realms of 'urban motorhoming myth'. ;) So panic not. :D

I just had a look back and came across containing a statement from Morrisons :)

Seems Morrisons have short memories ;)
More likely that, as with many companies, they fail when it comes to training and communicating with staff :)

For example, we went into a branch of Asda with some batteries for recycling a few weeks ago to find no bin available. Neither the manager and his deputy had a clue that providing a bin was a legal requirement.

There are two BP garages ON THE A13 at Stanford le hope I think when I lived there 2 years back they did gas

Thanks for that, tofo. After all the comments about Morrisons I think I'll play safe and fill up at Leatherhead Texaco on the way.

Not any more, fairly sure they have stopped LPG sales. Haven't been there for a few weeks due to the jams and roadworks at M25 junction. Due to finish soon, can't be too soon for me as the jams are incredible.

When I spoke to the two filling station assistants at Morrisons Spalding, they also said that there wasn't a problem with MHs filling with Autogas. (y)

@maz. Aren't there any Flogas depots near you, or on your route Marian?

https://www.flogas.co.uk/stockists?f=no-cylinders&q=Essex

https://www.flogas.co.uk/stockists?f=no-cylinders&q=Leatherhead

Other than Countrywide Farmers, you'll struggle to find Autogas anywhere else cheaper than Flogas...............here in the UK. ;)

Good luck with the search,

Jock. :)

We filled up at Spalding (without asking first) in May last year. Very convenient pump arrangement meant we could fill with LPG and Diesel without moving :)

And they've got two HGV deisel pumps, where you can pull on with a 44 Tonner. (y) Used it many a time. ;)

Cheers,

Thanks for that, Jock, but the Flogas stockist at Leatherhead is the Texaco filling station. There are no depots along my route.

Although I live close to Grays, I haven't used the Morrisons for gas as the two BP garages on the A13 at Stanford were always more convenient. However I can confirm that they have recently stopped selling gas.

Looks like I'll be using Morrisons from now on !!!

Really ? I thought that & the A13 lot were scheduled to run until December 2017 ? Throw in the Gallows corner as well .............:( Makes you wonder who organises all this stuff.
