Not ready for number plate filler yet, so thinking of fitting the filler to the tow bar for now.

Simple enough, but what do people use as a bracket? And I guess no cable ties allowed for the fuel pipe?

[feeutfo]

Should add it's a Kevin Wood style tow bar with square metal work under the petrol tank. Not a swan neck type.

[Lazydocker]

I've got one of these from Teilo, but can't remember if yours has the "flange" type fixed towbar

As for cable ties... Fine as an addition to the proper clips but won't pass an inspection if the proper clips aren't fitted (at a maximum of 60cm apart)

you all know the near side rear bumper is the best place  ....... no wait your all to fat, too old or crippled     

[Kevin Wood]

That's exactly the bracket that I was supplied with.

I used metal P clips with rubber cushioning to secure the pipe along the side of the tow bar.

1 LPG pump at the local garage. Choice of 2 fillers, one on either side of it.

One side is always taken up with some cretin filling up his tractor (why not use one of the other 19 diesel pumps?) then doing his weekly shop in the M&S attached to the garage.

Why would I want to limit myself to using only one of those pumps?

Best place from a mobility point of view is in the wing as it's higher surely? Not the bumper which is lower! Or the tow bar which is lower still....
So Twiglet the stick boy Tunnie is more unable than the rest of us on bending down to fillers and has also limited himself to pumps available as said. Bloody students, two seconds out of collage and they think they know it all.

Thanks guys. Simple enough.

My car has a reverse gear 

Asda is full of idiots anyway, I maintain I could not pull far enough forward to make number plate pump work.

9/10 I fill up ok, if other one is free, i'll just spin it around and back in

If you'd done the job properly you wouldn't have to.

[tunnie]

Too much of a faf making those number plate things, I would have more issues with it. BP for example there is always some idiot in there doing their weekly shop, leaving car at the pump. Nose of my 2.2 almost touching bumper, still only just reached my filler.

I don't have that problem every time I use High Wycombe Asda. I do, though, have the choice of either pump

IME, at Asda, no option to turn around, given that there is normally a rather great queue

[Broomies Mate]

Do LPG pumps have a much shorter hose than 'standard' fuel pumps then?

I can easily get the vast majority of standard pumps to reach either side of the car.

As you probably guessed, I'm not an LPG'er (yet).

Generally, yes

[feeutfo]

Given LPG fillers lock on, I presume they have to make provision for people forgetting and driving off with nozel attached, hence they nail the filler fuel line to the ground or fit a lanyard half way along the pump hose. All that means is the pump rips out if the car before the car rips the gas line out of the pump, going by the ones round here.

Result is shorter pump hose anyway, because of the tether ad I understand it.  :-/
