If one garage refuses just try another one never had a problem in Italy or Spain and its illegal in both those countries

As Lenny says its down to the operator and I've never been refused yet in France just try another garage.

Came back from France yesterday and as you say didn’t see another brit van. Only GB vehicles were on the road to the port.

Didn’t get gas this time though sorry. Just try a big filling station where they don’t care. It’s what normally works for us.

We are in France, been here for 3 weeks, currently in Bourcefranc-le-Chapus. We have met / 2 other Brit vans whilst here. Cannot help on the gas situation, sorry!

Do you have an external (body mounted) filler or is it inside a locker which has to be opened?

We had and exterior filler for our gaslow bottles. When a filling station challenged me, I just said for engine. If they see actual bottles being filled then you have a problem I think.

We’re here on our second of 6 weeks. Not seen much of any traffic. Not had a problem filling with LPG in France except finding an open garage between 1-2:30 pm!

In Portugal I was told we don't fill bottles, I pointed at the filler and said it was a tank.

We filled with gas last year in Mayenne in a supermarket unmanned petrol station. Pay at pump type. Might be an option if you see one on your travels.
