Hi again
I recently read a thread on the other side about this item: Link Removed
It is an adaptor so people can fill ther own gas bottles i.e. calor etc.
Personally, they horrify me. You simply attach the adaptor connect the LPG gas filler at the pumps, open the valve and fill to 80%, close the valve on your bottle, disconnect the filler. For me there is too many things which could go wrong with catastofic results.
I have read many threads on this subject most condemning them thankfully. However some compare LPG to Petrol - safety wise and can see no reason for not using these refill adapters. However, I have never seen mentioned, that petrol fumes are lighter than air so disapate, LPG on the other hand is heavier than air so sinks to the lowest point.
Consider this - a small LPG leak say 5 litres, it flows along the forecourt and into the street where the gas finds a drain, someone walks past can't smell gas and throws a cig down the grid ( smoking can seriously damage your health and anyone within 200 yards).
We spend a lot of money on our motorhomes, don't put them at risk, do the right thing and fit a proper system like Gaslow or buy a new bottle.
