Hi, I have question over which adapter to use in France and Spain, have attahed a photo (hopefully) showing the three that I have.

 

[Robert Clark]

Normally the bottom one, though I’ve also used the middle one
I’d take all three

Thank you all for your replies appreciate your time.

[Jimbohorlicks]

Middle one is for Germany.

 

[Offagaingr8]

Take all three, I filled up today in the Algarve and I used the top one, they have recently changed over from the one pictured at the bottom.

 

[Northernraider]

Whatever you do don't forget them

I saw a motorhome in castellon and he was selling them . He had a display board on.his dash and he was asking €35 each for them

I paid £22 for the set of 3 delivered in the UK

 

[Candapack]

I have all 3 as well. Top for Spain, bottom for France. Middle worked, I think, in Germany?
But, tried to fill up in Netherlands a couple of weeks ago, none of them were any use. Plus, the filling station didnt have one either.

I have printed this off and have it stuck on the inside of the gas locker door.

Any idea on Croatia Albania Austria etc lol

We have one of those round metal sweet tins in the glove compartment, with all four adapters stored in it.

Once I establish which is needed, Rita then sorts it out for me.


Cheers,

Jock.

We filled up in Holland and we didn’t need an adapter, it was same as UK.

Sorry Tam, we arrived with a full bulk tank, and didn't top up whilst there, so can't answer that one.

Cheers,

[mitzimad]

weve always found that petrol stations have some adaptors only once have we failed as all of the adaptors were a smaller thread possibly 3/8

Useful to know, but wasn't like that at the filling station we were at. Maybe try another on way home.

We can't all take Rita with us!!

Your Spanish one has the non-return valve in it, best to remove it as it can cause problems when filling up as your inlet has a non return valve in it.

Hi Tam,
your dish adapter will be the one you will be using in central and eastern europe and autogas readily available here.

I shudder to risk disagreeing with Mr Clark who is a real expert on most things to do with motorhomes but...

Portugal has switched from the bottom (cup) adapter and now uses the top one (same as Spain... spit).

Probably because in the UK we use the Dutch Bayonet.

Austria is the same as Germany, can't help with the other two.

I see why you recommend removal of non return valve, could you explain how to do this.
Thank you

Dish adapter for Albania and Croatia according to.....

@Lenny HB what is the issue with the old Spanish adapter with the valve in? Although a while back, I used mine several times without problems.

When I saw thenon return valve in the Spanish adapter I thought it odd. Presumably you get a blowback when disconnecting the pump and another when unscrewing the adapter I have never yet needed to use the top one in anger though I do carry one.

 

[Meander n Izzy]

Yes that's exactly what is happening, and I hate losing gas that I have paid for

It is M10 & the standard adaptor size thread here.

Interesting, what sort of problems please?

The other day we needed to get our first LPG fill in Spain. I had the three adaptors to hand and thought I'd just ask the attendant. But before I could say anything, he wipped out his own adaptor from his pocket and proceeded to fill up (single 11kg gas-it bottle). All done in a flash, so to speak...

I expected it to take about 20 litres+, but in fact only 13 litres went in?

I know the gauges are notoriously inaccurate, but it showed completely empty beforehand (although the gas didn't actually run out), and then full after just 13 litres?

Somewhat puzzled... Could this be related?
