Autogas/LPG Sources for members

This is excellent and accurate - highly recommended.

Their website is the data source, so if you don't have an Android phone I would look there for info ...

FillLPG.co.uk - Your LPG Filling station map

This site might be more up to date but is still not accurate. I just checked the BP Eastgate garage in Grangemouth (just off M9) and it is showing as a source. When we called in yesterday, I was told that they no longer supplied LPG. This is why I have started this thread.

Do any members know is it would be possible to fill the motorhome from the gas supply at home?

I assume that the gas n the main is still liquid but my be at the wrong pressure but it would be easy to do if the pressures were correct

Surprised no one has thought of that. You could make Millions of ££££££ with an idea like that.

Know it's been done before have a look Here

You may need to alter you gas locker slightly .... :idea-007:

The thing is though any list just like the websites will be out of date pretty quickly unless people update it and it needs to be in a searchable database that can be easily updated by the members. Contact numbers I think are a good idea as well. If I am stuck for LPG like we were in Flamborough recently I called the garage 8 miles up the road and checked they had some before wasting my time traveling.

Its a good idea but a list in a thread is no good. It needs compiling into something searchable and amendable. If thats possible on here then it would be useful, probably in conjunction with the site mentioned earlier. Even a spreadsheet that could be downloaded and searchable offline would be a good asset.

When I was in the Stirling area Barry, I searched online on the LPG websites. Even then, 2 of the phone numbers listed were incorrect. One did not exist and the other was a residential number.

I also had problems with the listed phone numbers. A one listed for Darlington no longer existed incorporated into Calor Bishop Auckland and only bottles sold. The number still rang but the premises were 20 miles apart. Phoned a Garage in Newton Aycliffe The person I spoke to say they did sell Autogas. Arrived at the premises only to find the whole forecourt had been removed about 8 year before. (Temporary staff on Christmas switchboard.)

The best way is for members to let other know of closures and other issues such as I listed ie 5% VAT available.

Yes its a good idea but as I mentioned it needs to be in some kind of searchable database not just a thread otherwise its pointless people just posting about changes etc.

We need someone with a bit of IT knowledge Barry.

Do you know anybody like that? :p

I am not sure if I have a spreadsheet on my netbook (never needed one now that I am retired) but I can check. Someone may have a better idea.
 
Ottershaw Guildford rd shell garage Surrey just off jct 11 m25 would be tight for large rvs would say 8meters no problem

Its the sort of thing I would have done 20 years ago but Im a bit rusty now and not at all up to speed with server side databases which is what it would be.

I might have a play around with the data thats already "out there" and see what I can put together offline then maybe Phil can do something with it I dunno.
 
Another source:-

Thames service station on the Oban road just out of Lochgilhead, Argyll. Yesterday 69.9p/litre

I am assumingby gas supply at home you mean lpg in tanks not natural gas? Natural gas won't work, operates at a different pressure more importantly every appliance would require re jetting.

If you are talking bulk tanks, then in theory would be possible. not so sure I would want to try it though, the legalities I suspect are questionable for a start, you would have to be filling from the hp side which is even more complicated.

Why re-invent the wheel?

FillLPG.co.uk - Your LPG Filling station map

As admin has said this is a very good app provided for us already.

If WC members took the time to register (free) then update the lpg site status and prices themselves it would better for everyone.

It works, I added the lochgilphead one myself back in 2012 when I was up that way and struggling to find lpg for my car.

The registration page is here FillLPG.co.uk - Your LPG Filling station map

The add a new site page is here http://www.filllpg.co.uk/add1.php

This is a good point. I didnt realise you could register and update stuff on that site. I agree. Why re-invent the wheel?
