Are Propane Remote Filling Systems Legal in the EU?

[Tim McGann]

I just had a conversation with a MH dealer in Belgium that is going to perform some work for me. When I asked about installing a remote propane filling port he was adamant that such systems are strictly prohibited in the EU. He cited some rule from the G607 certification, whatever that is. A German dealership gave me a quote (very high) on such a system without mentioning anything about legality. Can anyone shed a light on this?

Yes, that would be a good starting point. My twin 11kg Alugas system was a fair bit below that but only as I carried out the installation and commissioning myself.

Did a dealer fit this ?

Thanks, yes 11kg, I could have possibly squeezed 14kg ones in but at the time there was a shortage of all sizes, so I took what I could and got a cracking deal on them anyway. No need for crash sensing pigtails with the Multivalve on the Alugas cylinders - from the website:

“The Alugas MV cylinder also incorporates in the gas off take valve a rupture protection (excess flow device) as a further safety feature which replaces the need for special “rupture protection” pigtails with this valve fitted to them. This allows for safe travel with gas turned on and, in some cases, where allowed, operate the vehicles heating while driving.”

I used to have Alugas and had forgotten they had that I think Alugas are better finished product than Gaslow.

No, I had the supplying dealer drill the body for the filler housing, (plus the BBQ point and the MIMO antenna - anything that might compromise the shell that they can take eventual responsibility for ), and the rest of the install is mine.
