Alexander Swan will insure me with LPG and naked flame hot water system.
They are more expensive than what I'm paying now but there again im increasing the risk with gas.
So looks like I'll be going with them .
£678 per year...

When I had this happen there was obviously a build up of gas in the rear of the van. I don’t understand what happened exactly, but what happened was I opened the vans rear doors and there was what I can only describe as a huge flash from inside the van. Really big and unexpected. I don’t remember any noise just a huge flash. It was over before it even seemed to have started.

sounds like the boiler was still hot and allowing enough gas out to ignite it but the batteries were not producing a strong enough spark. Then eventually the excess gas went poof!

i put fresh new batteries in it when i fitted it in the van the other week Dave as the old ones were not strong enough anymore.

Not being  funny but could you not smell gas before it went poof?
L5's are notorious for bad ignition and flame out on the least bit of wind too.
I don't no why you where still using that crappy heater. lol
