we spend our winters bumbling along from place to place ...wild camping of course....
we like the idea of the lighter Cepsa bottles , but because we now carry only one 11Kg bottle [ + a camping gas with adaptor for emergency reserve ] the absence of Cepsa supplies in so many places makes it impractical
so repsol it is , stop the gas truck or pop into the repsol garage wherever we go
while at the F1 pre season testing at jerez this spring , a french motorhomer knocked at the door and asked how I managed for gas ; the year before he had needed gas , and a GALP agent had fitted him up with a spanish style bottle , and he had since found that there are almost no GALP sellers in spain
I explained the repsol availability , the Cepsa position, and that buatne was just fine in spanish temperatures and was more widely available for that reason , would work fine with his on board regulator , and he said he would look out for a repsol bottle for the future ....and went off to drive 100Km to the GALP agent where he had obtained his bottle , closest place to swop; half a day later he came back and knocked on the door again , looking pleased with himself ...apparently he had explained his problem to the GALP agent who took his GALP bottle , gave him an empty repsol bottle he had taken in , and told him where the repsol garage was to swop it for a full one
how nice was that ! still plenty of good people about
