Change to refillable gas in 10 mins totaly legal and legit Offer to Wildcamp members

Correct Daiboy, Eurotunnel staff normally ask to see the valve turned off. Sometimes they just ask that it is closed, as a reminder, without actually visually checking. Never heard of Alfredo's Welsh Cakes, sound a bit foreign to me !.
 
been lookin at this thread alot ......and ive measured my gas compartment its width is 26 cm 10 inch its to small to get the 11kg or even the 6kg gasit bottle as there too wide... 300mm diameter i think ....what other options have i got ..if any in the less than £200 mark.... we currently only have 1 calor 6kg bottle we have room for two but dont want to waste money on another if theres an option available .....:anyone: come on lads think.. you can do it i know it..:bow::bow::cheers::i know about the underslung tanks but there a bit dear ...am i right?????

Hi, many thanks to Bigpeetee for all the information and free gift from gas it.
Just ordered mine plus in locker filler, good to get it sorted I was going to fit a tank from a truck and plumb that in but by the time you add all the bits and bother this is by far the best solution for me, my only comment would be I have spoken to a couple of chaps at gas it, not the most cheerful people maybe theirs to many wilder’s making order’s?
 
Gas- it installations

Hi
I have read with interest the tutorial of the gas-it installation from Teutone, and the Gas-it info supplied by BigPeeTee, Great write ups guys.
I am retiring early next year and will probably want to install a similar set up this year as next year we will be almost full time out and about. I like the idea of the transferrabilityalso from van to van

I have a couple of questions.
I have hymer C544 with currently 2x6kg propane bottles with a bulk head Trauma 30mb regulator.(Single connection) If I were to install a gas-it with a back up calor propane 6Kg , assuming I have the space ( Know I have the height).
Is it possible to use both a gas-it bottle and the calor propane( asa back up) through the same regulator( changing the hose over manually when required ? Will I require a different connection hose for the gas-it bottle to regulator or can I use the calor propane hose?

For Teutone's fitting of the external filler-I note this was lower than the actual bottle to be filled.( I dont have any experience of ever filling from an LPG pump.) As the filler adaptor is lower , does this leave LPG in the hose at the fill point? or does it just evaporate into the bottle? -is there any leak of LPG when filling when the pump nozzle is removed due to the lower level of the filler adaptor??

Apologies for my ignorance:help::confused:

Cheers
Jimbo
 
Thanks Bigpeetee,

Ordered today the twin 6 kg kit and change over. Got a 5 % discount with the code you emailed as the Europe fittings were free with my order.

regards

James

I got fed up constantly supplying Calor with lots of money for a small amount of gas.

I was tempted to buy a gas refill adapter, and whilst confident in the use of such an appliance was always worried about insurance and petrol attendant issues.

I looked at all the alternatives and after a meeting with Gas-It have arranged a discount for Wildcamping FULL MEMBERS ONLY

GAS IT Refillable Leisure Gas Tanks Solutions & Solar Energy Products for Motorhomes and Caravans by FES Autogas Ltd

Firstly my claim of refillable in 10 mins:

I measured my gas cabinet and found that I could get an 11Kg Gas-It bottle in the same space as my existing 6Kg Calor.

I ordered the 11Kg bottle with an indicator, on bottle fill bayonet with 80% cutoff and a vapour tank to regulator adapter.

As a member of Wildcamping I also received FREE a set of adapters, French/Italian to UK and an Acme to Uk all in a nice bag to keep them warm and safe. In addition they also bundle a can of gas leak detector.

P&P is free to mainland UK.

The Bottle fill bayonet and regulator adapter are fitted by them in the factory so all you have to do is disconnect your old gas bottle, remove and replace with the Gas-It bottle, refix regulator and you're ready to go and get filled. I've left my old 6Kg bottle as standby just to see if I need it.

10 mins: this included unwrapping, photos and installation

Full Members can get the add ons of adaptersx2, bag and gas leak for free if they order at least 1 bottle or tank. To do this they must Private message me for a code to get the freebies.

Obviously this is my solution to my problem, they have all the usual gas connectors to be installed in the bodywork and can work to give you a solution for you.

The cost? A total of £145.68 including P&P

I've a little of minor jiggling so that the regulator doesn't have such a tight fit, but it did start pouring down and I ran inside!!

NB. I have nothing at all to do with Gas-It but have tried to get additional benefits for the members of this fraternity!!​

Sorry for the late reply but I didn't need to fill the bottle until today.
There is a "puff" when I disconnect the hose after filling but I can't see or smell any gas.

Everything is still working as it should. Almost empty bottle, connected filler and pressed the button. Stopped at 18 liters (20liter full capacity when empty). £14!
Makes me angry that I have to pay £24 for a refill of a 6kg bottle (I use this to heat the garage)

Yeah your right, we were all getting robbed by Calor. The Calor Lite ones are £26.50 so you get ripped off even more for the light weight ones !
 
Thank you Bigpeetee,

I received my system a few weeks ago after a slight delay due to the carrier temporarily 'losing' a bottle.
First fill OK at a Shell station. I had to call the attendant as it took me too long to connect the filler hose. He came out and showed me how to reset it by pressing where the nozzle usually rests on the pump. He then operated the fill button for me. All this was on my panel van conversion with an inlocker filler which meant the back door and the gas locker door were both open.

Thanks again,
Brian
