I woulld think that if the valves are open then it puts extra pressure on the regulator which might damage it or if the regulator failed then the pressure would go to your appliances which again might fail and allow gas to excape into th van.
 
i have just bought a donut underslung lpg tank and the filling system with all the valves when it comes im going to strip the outlet pipe out so i can use as a vapour tank not liquid then going to fit under the van and fit the fitting kit

the only question i need answering is do i still need a regulator/shut of valve on the outlet of tank/pipework (manual version like on a bottle) so it can be filled without damaging my appliances
 
that all depends on if your appliances need a regulated gas feed personaly i woukl fit a on off tap and a new regulator. i imagine the tank you bought is for car running on auto gas .becarefull as there outlet lets liquid out not gas. even when its fitted to top of tank ,they have a tube going to bottom of tank. have a look at it al before fitting its not that complicated but check it out. i have used a normal bottle on its side and welded and made a new outlet on the side (now the top side).fill when empty .not before.

I usually refill once the first of my two cylinders registers empty (by this time I am, of course, using the second cylinder). This means that every other refill the cylinder is empty. Does this mean I am ok or should I wait for both cylinders to be completely empty? If so, then one of the main reasons for having the system (ie not running out of gas in the middle of the night or in the rain etc) goes out the window and Alan ends up being right - I couldn't bear that!

I use the same system, different bottles obviously, but that's exactly how it's meant to work.
You check every now and then and when the gauge is red the other bottle automatically takes over.Time to refill the empty bottle, turn the auto thingammy over, and start all over again.:D

You knew that anyway you tease you.;):cool:
 
yes i will be cutting the pipe of that draws liquid so it draws gas its got facility for a remote gauge also so will be fitting 1 inside van so i know how full it is
 
gaslow v autogas

rather than fitting Gaslow, I found a better deal at autogas 2000 Ltd
(info@autogas.co.uk). They supply Geman manufactured aluminium tanks which weigh only 6.5K, contain 11Kgm, have an 80% cut off valve and an antispill valve.
When thinking about the benefits, take into consideration, not only the savings in the cost of gas but also the all round convenience of having a reliable source of fuel. You are no longer limited to your 2 Calor gas cylinders so you are able to save on electric hookups and campsite fees.
I had mine fitted at Thirsk where they offer overnight stay facilities if needed.
