Is it easy to obtain lpg in Spain,or should you take a gas bottle with you any info on dose and don't going to Spain would be most welcome thanx

 

[f6c]

Have you got fixed bottles or tank if so LPG is available at many Repsol Fuel stations.

 

[bri]

Not got bottles it's a fixed tank,but read somewhere that outside Madrid for example you could be struggling to fill up.

 

[f6c]

Look up LPG app spain there are lots of LPG stations or google Repsol Cepsa fuel stations.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

There' are lots of lpg outlets available in spain, you should not have any issues. Worst case is that you get a bottle of local gas, cheap, and connect it to your fill point.

Careful planning will enable you to top up as you are travelling, search for Apps that list LPG filling options, Garages etc....no shortage in Spain, there are 5 or 6 local to me here in Murcia.

I use myLPG.eu from Google, it's never let me down.

Loads of lpg in Spain and France. Its only the UK where the places are few.
In Spain the bottled gas is very cheap compared to lpg from the pump.

Ditto that. There’s an app and a website for this. I’ve used it frequently and very successfully in Spain and Greece. Italy is different as they’re very strict about only filling you up if it’s used for propulsion not heating or cooking. We have Gaslow bottles but fill through a port in the skirt of the van, so it looks like it’s going into a tank, not bottles. Even so we couldn’t get gas in Italy.

Loads of lpg stations in Spain, I use the app Mylpg.eu for locations. You will need adaptors to fill though. Some stations have them, but best to buy your own.

LPG pumps have increased a lot Over the last few years.
Bear in mind the further south you go the the butane in the mix will be higher (up to 65%), best to fill up in the mountains to get a high propane ratio.

 

[Clive Bishop]

You can often get Spanish bottles from people leaving but if not garages that supply bottles have a form called a gas contract which allowed you to hire a bottle.

Have you ever done that? Surely it would not work

And I should stop calling you Shirley!

We use the one in Benidorm, always helpful with adapters and once even sent the boy out to do it for me, although I ended up showing him how to go on

you can either connect it to a barby point or you can buy an adaptor lead that goes from bottle to fill point

Yes this is the hose that connects to the fill point..

Gaslow Braided Local Gas Cylinder Connection Hose

The Gaslow Braided Local Cylinder Connection Hose simply screws into the Gaslow filler point and now you can connect any gas cylinder adapter that has a 21.8LH fitting to the Hose. Length 1.5 metres. When using this hose with an external bottle, you are drawing the vapourised contents through...

You need a "jumbo" Spanish type bottle connector (no regulator) too, which is further down the page

Ah I see. So it doesnt transfer to the refillable bottle, it runs through it and stays connected?

It just evaporates vapour into the system as you use it at full bottle pressure. If you don't use all the liquid before you have to disconnect, then you've got no gas again. Unless you try and tip the liquid in out of the bottle... But last time I mentioned that it started an argument so I'm not mentioning that

Edit : oops

 

[gpat]

That makes sense. Can you send a link to the last time you mentioned that

Yes it works,you just need a Spanish jumbo adaptor and a hose which you can buy from gasit or gaslow.you need one of your bottles to be empty.just connect the Spanish repsol bottle to your inlet fill point and turn on.the Spanish bottle just sits by your van.a 15 kg repsol bottle costs around 14 euros.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

No,please don't do that it can be dangerous.for the cost of the Spanish gas it's really not worth it plus trying to tip liquid gas into your system can gunge it up.

Even in Italy we found it relatively easy to fill up with lpg especially on the autostradas. Only 1 garage wouldn't fill our tank (even though it's filler is in the skirt not in the locker with the 14kg bottle). We went to the next garage and filled it with no problems at all. We crossed the width of Italy (along the Po Valley to Bari).

It can only be as dangerous as filling up at the pumps. The van system is designed to take liquid LPG in.

Your not using it as designed when supplying it with vapour.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Sorry ,I am not going to argue through this again.

 

[Lenny HB]

Well if you lot want an argument I take you are all fully aware it is ILEGAL to fill habitation tanks in Spain.

 

[sciac2001]

Most have had personnel to do the fill-ups for us.
Well worth the tip we give them.
