Too cold for LPG, what do you do?

Going back when we're at Haro in Spain, I went to the Toilet block with a bucket and ran myself a bucket of hot water.
When I got back to the van I dropped a Camping Gaz bottle into it and used that to get the kettle on.

Boulogne on the way home last May

Could be the problem at that time of year probably had at least 30% butane.

I came back last year with a full bottle of "French". Made sure I used it first before the cooler weather in the UK. Alternative is to head further south.

Had similar on a Broads Cruiser in December and was told to get a bloke to pee on it ......... but an alternative was to use a click activated heat pad - that did the trick and a lot more socially acceptable.

This is useful information on log gas mixtures. I always try and run down any European gas to a minimum before coming back home.

CIDRAM

A very useful link.

I have usually filled up in autumn on return home, but I now realise that if I do that in Poland before 1/11 I might get too much % Butane.

We were had planned to go to the Tatra Mts. for Easter but overnight was forecast -4C to -1C so we cancelled.

We could have been in the same trouble.

We have filled up with cheaper Autogas on our way back from Germany, Belgium, and France in late September/early October, and have never suffered a problem with using that Autogas butane/propane mix whilst touring in the UK over winter.

Our refillable cylinders are stored in an external, but an unheated gas locker.
We do have a Truma Auto Changeover system, and a Isex gas valve heater system, but have never ever had to use the latter...........despite the mix of butane/propane.

Cheers,

Jock.
