UK availability of LPG

[fat haggis]

As a slight aside, I am thinking of getting a couple of refillable tanks and I was wondering are the lpg pumps generally sited to fill just one side of a van (offside or nearside) or will the hose reach either side? I know there is a pump at our local Morrisons but I haven't checked which side it will reach, it is not possible to come at the pump from the other direction.

No the hose won’t fit other side. So it’s drive in on side filler is located

Sorry to be a nuisance again but which is the preferred side (if there is one)?

The LPG pump I used yesterday at a Morrisons near Hull had hoses on both sides of the pump island.

Same side as your fuel filler, makes it easy to top up both.

Our filler is on same side as fuel filler - on nearside, we use Morrisons and generally it saves a lot of shuffling around filling both without moving.

Garage we filled up the other day, only one Mosley but it stretched to the other side of the pump. Not other side of the van.

Mine is "offside" (right hand side when pointing forwards!), opposite side to the fuel filler and never had a problem.

Mine is a pvc with an integral gas locker at the rear. So to keep my filler hose neat, my fillpoint is on the rear end attached to the towbar assembly. It doesn’t really matter which side the pump is as I’ve never seen a hose that will not reach the center of the rear of my van. I’ve even been in a few sites where you have to reverse into a awkwardly sited pump and if the filler was on the side it may be a stretch to get the hose to it.
