No LPG allowed in Tunnel (1 Viewer)

[duffs]

Just been and looked

Oh well that rules looking for them with LPG then, don't want to go by ferry because of our dog, he hates cars, never been in a MH yet, so god knows what he would make of a ferry

This only applies to vehicles that are powered by LPG. Cylinders are OK as long as they are turned off

 

[MikeD]

You can take lpg if it is used as a secondary power source ie: cooking/ heating etc

Whew! Thought the rules had changed!

 

[The Lord Squid]

LPG for cooking or heating in tanks or cylinders is allowed in the Eurotunnel. See here: https://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/site-information/lpg/. LPG-powered vehicles aren't allowed.

we only took our dog on the ferry one time boy what a mess when retuning to our van never again it gets realy warm below deck

 

[klaatu]

We were asked whether our gas was turned off (it was) but they didn’t check, on our one tunnel crossing so far.

It seems completely irrational to me that a duel fuel vehicle like our previous RV isn’t allowed in the tunnel, even if the LPG fuel tanks are empty and the vehicle is switched to petrol power. But I’m not an expert in such matters.

Presumably they are not technically competent to check every type of gas-powered vehicle to confirm the gas tank is empty? So easier to just say NO. But agree, it's unfortunate, and not entirely logical.

Only 10 minutes from the train to Cite Europe anyway. That's beer o'clock.

I suspect the reason is that "domestic" LPG is delivered out of the tank as vapour, whereas "motive" LPG is delivered as liquid?

That makes total sense.
Vapour will only burn at ignition source,
liquid will spread as it burns.

Very true but that includes making Swmbo a cup of tea and walking Pepper. Don't want disturbing
