Gaslow on/off isolation valve stuck closed.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if the taps are open or closed, just fill up and drive on.

Some people have to have the last word, even if it’s ouch!

Yes I tried
It’s definitely written in one of the industry standards / codes of practice about being advisable to turn off any LPG cylinder when filling.
This would include all of Europe of course, but I believe it was once said that once you cross the Pyrenees you’re in Africa already

I think it is not helpful to keep posting your view when Basildog, who is a gas industry qualified professional, has advised the opposite.

He's in Spain..they have different regulations.

That's one of the things the rest of the world finds annoying with brits .. since the crusades ( and possibly before ) they still feel the need to tell other nations what they do is wrong ..

Yet the UK is a feckin mess

Basildog said it applied to all Europe. I prefer his professional opinion.

There used to be a guy on here constantly banged on about a 1960 caravan act too lol..


Personally if the guy has a system fitted in Spain that passes their stricter than our mot standards where they check everything and you can't just convert a van yourself in Spain like you do in the UK then I'd rather go with their view considering the vehicle is used in Spain.

Having seen the quality of our habitation inspectors and our mot inspectors etc I'm the UK I wouldn't trust a UK "professional " as far as I could throw one

But for the UK, I am not in the UK.

It is wise to open and close the valves now and then to avoid blockage or build up, according to my gasit instructions too.

The Germans have a word for that, obviously. Sitzpinkler.

A majority of German men are reportedly Sitzpinklers "all the time" or "most times".

There appears to be a big cultural difference between the UK and Germany on this.

In Germany, 49% of men over 55 always sit down (and a further 25% most times).
In the UK, only 8% of men over 55 always sit down (and a further 12% most times).

Maybe in the UK there is also a greater fear of what Frank Zappa sang about:
I got it from the toilet seat
It jumped right up
And grabbed my meat
