Where's the outlet for the heater dude?

[kevin James]

not quite so tidy & little concerned with proximity if l5 to petrol tank. Maybe more of an issue in the summer when more vapour.

Bit posh Nat



I think thats the best looking setup Ive seen, well done.

Tell me something though Nat, aren't you meant to have the gas stored in the van in a separate compartment?

In the UK I'm told it might be a requirement,.. in Ireland I checked it out & was told it's fine, technically I don't even need the warning stickers!

isnt that just when its connected up and turned on when travelling

as loads of plumbers have them in the back of the vans

Really?

Anyone confirm that?

Same with camper vans surely?

I used to have a VW years ago that had the gas cylinder under the cooker. Had to make sure it was turned off on ferries and when driving through tunnels. Things might have changed since then though.

i thought it was discussed last year

look at any plumbers van, they just have them in the back of the van

[gewindows]

Yes its true Matt, they do just have them stood their doing nothing, fixed perhaps for when theyre driving.


So whats this business about venting them L5s?

well they burn gas and the fumes need to go somewhere, thus need to be vented

though you would be fairly happy driving along with the fumes

[gewindows]

Is it a legal requirement though, I have the windows open 90% of the time.

[jsm]

looks like they ok to just be chucked in the back reading that pdf , its more geared up for lorry full's of the stuff -my dad was a hazard goods lorry driver and its the sort of this he would have to abide by.

if you go and pick one up from b-q , garden centre etc with the car you just stick it in the boot ...

Nathanael, is that a copper pipe on the hot output?  What connectors have you used?

Carrying gas cylinders
Regulations relating to the use of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in vehicles on the public highway require the gas to be shut off at the cylinder when no appliance is in use. While the vehicle is in motion, no gas appliance should be in use. Special restrictions apply in certain road tunnels, the Channel Tunnel and on ferries. DO check before setting off.

Its a flexi hot pipe from B&Q,.. not essential by any means, but I had one in the shed so I decided to use it. After that short pipe its minibore all the way.
