Excuse my ignorance,,

But are the connections the same on the continent as the UK for filling road tanks with LPG.

And the refillable gas bottle for cooking/heating can they be bought over here and used on the continent ?
Thanks.

To be sure, you will need three different autogas adaptors - one is a bayonet fitting, another a large screw thread and the third is a concave dish shape.

I'm told that UK refillable bottles can only be swapped in very few specialist outlets.

I'm told it is in retaliation for not converting to Euros.

Just in case you need it the French fitting also works in

Turkey
China
Russia

and I don't accept the statement about the Euro it is probably the Brit PC Brigade who chose the bayonet fitting because I have not found anywhere else who us it.

Correct:

Bayonet: UK, Holland
Acme Screw: Belgium
French Claw: France, Italy, Spain

Is this regarding fuelling the road tank ?
If so what has to be changed the coupling on the fuel tank ? and if so how is that done ?

Surely it is dangerous to undo the coupling on the road fuel tank,, is`nt it preasurised if it can be done..

I understand the changes regarding regulators on your loose gas bottle for cooking/fridge/& heating,, but not the pro`s and cons of gas for actual running of the vehicle engine..

Bearing in mind mine is a yanky truck with a fifth wheel,

Thanks

Road tank or house gas makes no odds, no need to unscrew any couplings, the adaptors fit the existing filling point.. see some examples here :

ABP Accessories - Your First Choice For Motorhome & RV Accessories - LPG FILLERS & ADAPTORS!

shop around you may find them cheaper, also try ebay
