Another stupid question... you can tell I'm new ;-) (2 Viewers)

[TechnoDude]

Is it possible to connect a SafeFill bottle (inside the gas locker) to a Gaslow remote filler, or do you have to take them out of the van to fill them?

Asking for a friend ;-)

 

[HKF]

No questions on here are stupid. We all have to learn

 

[Just smiffy]

If your referring to your gaslow bottle on your other thread then yes, just get the corresponding hoses and filler to fit…

We take ours out! Can’t see how you can do otherwise? Safefill uses the same connection for filling (very high pressure) and consumption (low pressure)

But on another thread he has a gaslow bottle (new) with a safe fill adapter on it…

That's weird and dangerous as it would bypass the 80% cut off valve.

Not really sure what you mean? I was thinking of just 1 SafeFill bottle in the locker with the input connected to a Gaslow filler on the outside of the MH. I'm guessing it would be ok, just a matter of getting the right connectors?

No you can't do that.

In your other thread you say you have a gaslow bottle and on this thread you refer to a safefill bottle…? Do you have one of each…?

Always worth a google, other search engines are available, someone has probably already asked it somewhere.
Unless your Mr Creutzfeldt-Jakob that is.
Google question: remote filler for safefill bottles

Safefill gas cylinder remote filler

Has anyone managed to fix a remote filler kit to a safefill refillable gas bottle? As yet I have never been refused a fill at petrol stations both here and abroad. However I am aware that people are experiencing issues filling gas bottles that do not have a remote external filler.

I have already asked Safefill this, because Safefill only have one outlet/inlet into the bottle it would mean the filler tube would remain full of gas after the Safefill bottle cut off at 80% this would not be safe so it cannot be done.

On this thread you have a gaslow bottle..

Gaslow question... probably a stoopid one!

Just bought a Gaslow cylinder for the MH. Also bought a GPL bayonet adapter as I don't want to fit an external filler just yet. I've taken the bottle and got it filled locally so all good so far! Question is... can I remove the bayonet GPL filling adapter once the bottle is filled? I assume...

Theoretically it would be possible to have a remote filler by the addition of a shutoff ball valve between the inboard end of the filler hose and the POL fitting. One would have to turn off the gas at the cylinder before connecting and disconnecting but that should be standard practice when refilling anyway.

I have thought about doing this but have, as yet, not been able to source a cutoff valve with the requisite connections.

Far too risky, make a mistake not closing the valve properly and you could end up with liquid gas in the pipes turning hob/fridge etc., into flame throwers.

That would only pertain if the 80% overfill failed. Anyway the prudent owner knows how much should go in at each refill no matter what the setup.

But you have to to remember that Sod's Law says that if it can happen it will happen.

Our local Auto Gas fill the bottles for us and we have to keep an eye on them. So my knowledge is irrrelevant if I do not watch them like a hawk.

Any mixture of Safefill with anything else is dangerous.

And what would happen if he sold the van on to a novice? Suppose the dead cannot complain

I totally agree and I am ready to stop the pump at the estimated fill.

I do not consider that is particularly 'prudent' more just sensible. Why does everybody not do it?

Simply because the daft, stupid and thick, who are either totally oblivious or just don’t give a damn, walk among us

Sorry just had to give that a funny.
