Thank you. Not even Gaslow think it important to mention the type of GAS they are using. Thank you for making a point about it being an LPG. Planning to fill for the first time on my own and didn't want to use incorrect gas. The petrol station staff not very knowledgeable. Your video gives me confidence.
Useful. On our new Swift we have decided to go for a 30l underslung gas canister rather than a bottles thus freeing up the gas locker for storage completely. With you useful video, I am ready to fill it up.
Gas locker is not for storage of anything other than the gas cylinders and associated hoses. You may encounter difficulty when filling at forecourt and opening the gas locker door to refill. I wonder why was the filler point installed inside the gas locker and not on the outside?
Thanks for this very useful video. Something I knew little about. I think the installation costs outweigh any benefit I’d get, given how we use our vehicle so you’ve made up our minds to stick with bottled gas for now.
Really useful information for us, thanks. We have negotiated the fitting of a gas lo system for our new campervan (which has just been delivered to the dealer and we got to see it yesterday!). Now the dilemma is do we really need two 11kg bottles!!!! Like you I think extra space for ‘stuff’ might be useful....hmmmm. Enjoy your travels
Glad it was useful Ruth. Maybe check how difficult it would be to add one in the future? Then start with a single bottle and add another if you feel you need it?
Just fitted a single Gaslow bottle 11kg filled it from empty 21 litres £15. Like you kept filler point in locker . Keeping 6kg Calor to work alongside if i can't get to a autogas garage. £280 from Hamilton Gas.
Very useful. Thank you. We have decided to opt for refillables but just wondering how best to find stations that operate LPG gas.They seem few and far between? We are based in South West London. Any tips?
@@2.4inaVan thanks.... I thought perhaps you had to work out how much you need (up to 80%) to fill up. So I'm relieved at that!!! Thanks. I do not have an external valve so will connect direct to the bottle....either while in the locker or if I take the bottle out and take it away to fill up.

Glad it was useful. In the UK you'll see LPG. On the continent it's GPL

Cheers Peter. I'm looking forward to seeing the underslung tank. The extra space will be really useful!
Gaslow reccomend shutting the valve on the bottle prior to filling
Good advice John, appreciate it

Great that you've got a solution that works for you Sam

Download an app called MyLPG or you can use www.mylpg.eu
Information is useful but my concern would be that did you use an intrinsically safe camera to film externally on a forecourt?
Yes
Do you av to open the bottle before filling or leave it closed thanks
It's a good question. I've not tried it closed and I'm away from the van at the moment. I think you'd need it open.
i have one gaslow 13 kg and one calor 6kg bottle ... best of both worlds
just recognised where you fill up...lol
Haha! Good to have both. You've probably spotted that we're using the space for a second bottle for other things, maybe if we had less stuff!! :-)
Poor really did you close your bottle first or open it then fill??
Apologies Kevin, you couldn't explain a little more about your question could you?
@@2.4inaVan did you close the valves on the bottles that go to the appliances or leave them open and just turned the appliances off??. Cheers 🍻
@@kevinconnor9482 we weren't using any gas during filling, but we didn't shut off the valve. It's probably a good idea to though
Does the pump auto cut off when the tank is full??
Great question, yes it does

Worst video I’ve seen on this subject. Waffling, poor video when filling up so you can’t see what is happening or how to do it
