Title: L5 flue kit .....?
Post by: P @ F on February 05, 2012, 12:29:51 pm: Hi all , i am looking to fit a flue to my L5 but cant seem to find one.
I did a search and found that Nat Jones had them when he was using L5's
Are they available , or can they be made , and a long shot , will the fogwash ones fit , or be adapted to fit ?

Any pics or links much appreciated

Cheers Rich

Rs , i have had the l5 for 2 winters now and it has not let me down once , i get on with it like a van on fire ;D

You obviously have the fogwash with flu , do you have a pic , i have looked at the aquatec site but i see no clear pics of the unit or flu , might be an old link im seeing though !

Can you post a pic of it for me .......pretty please ?

Failing that , i know Nat Jones was big into a twin L5 setup , i seem to remember seeing a pic of it on here but cant for the life of me find it , anybody point me in the right direction for the pic , and wether it was genuine parts or fabricated ?

Thanks Rich

Not sure if a fogwash flue will fit an L5 because the top (outlet) is a totally different shape.

Van on fire..like it ;D

My only other option is to get a carbon monoxide alarm and fit it to the roof of the cab area , i saw them in asda today for a tenner i think , what was i doing in asda today i hear you ask , simple , i have a bone idle missus who stays in bed all day , cant wait till she has a scout and sees that little diamond !
Reckon a jump is out of the question tonight SWEETIE ;D

Now stop reading my posts , i aint cheating on you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lots of love Rich

I use a fogwash now,.. much better than an L5 IMO. ;)
