Autogas UK bayonet adapter did not work with FloGas pump (1 Viewer)

[BarumMike]

See my post earlier today for the story so far and the details of our refillable LPG system. We were booked into the great C&MC site at Crystal Palace, where I discovered that SE London is an autogas desert. The two Shell garages detailed in the LPG apps have lost there autogas pumps. I ended up travelling 15 miles to the services on the A20 Swanley bypass where there was a functioning FloGas pump. I attached the bayonet adapter, and then tried to engage the pump nozzle. It was impossible. The GasIt adapter was a fraction too short ie the distance from the bayonet prongs to the o-ring at the base. The outer sheath of the pump nozzle could not rotate. Arghh!

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a UK bayonet adapter which is a little longer which would allow me to fill up with LPG in the UK?

I had the same problem heading abroad earlier in the year at a services, the standard uk adapter wouldn’t let me engage the gun as it was too close to the van bodywork, I just waited until I got to France and used a different adapter, I believe there is an extension piece (not cheap) just can’t find the thread and manufacturer will have a dig around.

They sell a bayonet adapter extension specifically for Morrisons Supermarket nozzles that have a badly designed nozzle

I don't have any problem at Morrisons with my standard adaptor. Our Morissons has one of the newer pumps which I find much easier to use.

Oh yeah - Just typical.
The south east (especially East Sussex) always get the top kit first

While us poor sods in the north are still waiting for the Northern Powerhouse and the governments Leveling Up promise to kick in.


And Morrisons are a Yorkshire based company

They are half way up the country. Crewe has a new double sided pump. Very posh.

Morrisons are fairly new to the south so all the stores are nice & new too.
We had never heard of Morrisons until our daughter went to Uni at Derby.
