Bit far for me to go to fill up tho  

Tho suppose you could get some big gas bottles......fill them up for and post em to me  

Ive actually seen that done.....filling up gas bottles.....guy doing it....told me he converts american limos to LPG.....and carnt get them in to fill up.....so uses gas bottles to fill em......for testing purposes.....then its the owners prob  

I'm more and more tempted to look at ways of filling up from a calor bottle....

Cheaper to fill my barbeque bottle up with Autogas at 48.5 (Grafton Flyford#) than exchange it

# Put a bit in there during nasty floods as I had not enough fuel to get home after all the diversions.

50 feet past their entrance - the road was flooded

Yes, and fit radios, valeting ect

They don't do fitting though - years ago someone there did by all accounts

Filling the gas bottles is the easy bit  
How you get the gas out again is the problem......easy on an empty tank......virually no pressure to contend with to start with.....i guess he must pump it out somehow?  :-/

hehe, it could work out very very cheap if a method of pumping it in could be devised....  [smiley=evil.gif]

Not of course suggesting anything naughty, but its a shame you couldn't just have a plug in gas connector, that could connect to the calor bottle you had in the boot. Provided it was secure, and the connection method was an approved fitting there should be no problem. They allow builders etc to travel with gas bottles in the back, held in by a chain.

Just seen some useful pumps on ebay, for transferring between calor bottles and LPG tanks...

Why not fill the car tank direct at an Autogas station?

It is VERY expensive in bottles

[JamesV6CDX]

TBH, I will just fill up at filling stations, LPG is cheap enough not to worry about it.

It's just the devil in me thinking of the possibilities..  [smiley=evil.gif]

I have a large LPG tank buried under my front garden as we don't have any mains gas in our village. Now, the bulk LPG price is about 30p per litre so a massive saving over forecourt prices.

All that would be needed would be a reliable way of pumping the gas from the tank into the car. They even come round in a nice big lorry to fill the tank up whenever it's needed.

 

[Ken T]

You would have thought that if your car tank was empty, the presure would be low, and hence if you just connected the 2 together, there would be quite a transfer without any need for pumping. Thats the theory, I'm not too hot on the actual figures, but it should work.

Transfer pump - in you situation I would not be contemplating a conversion, I would have had it done ASAP
