Underslung /Refillable LPG tanks - dirty gas / jet problems

[Mad dog]

Mullacotts quoted £850 to install as a high pressure system so that I could use an ordinary cylinder as back-up. A filter is about another £100 How does this sound....? Must admit a bit pricier than I thought, nearly £500 to install it.

it sounds like they don't want the work, way overpriced

Not sure why they reference a "high pressure system. Any gas cylinder is a "high pressure system" until it goes through the regulator, which makes it a low pressure system. AFAIK every refillable system is "high pressure".

I was a bit confused too, he said it was an issue having a backup cylinder in my storage cabinet, as the underslung cylinder could leak back through the spare connector if there was a valve fault & the backup cylinder wasn't connected.

I've asked him for a quote without this option too (if it's complicating things).

Not had any problems as the filters seem to have caught it all; I’ve two filters, one between each cylinder and the regulator. Each filter had a similar amount of oil in it, about a teaspoonful.

Filters will not stop liquid. That stuff (low ends) harmlessly coats the inside of everything LPG comes into contact with.

It’s Heavy Ends ??

It’s Heavy Ends ?⚠?

So it is - just what I remember (incorrectly as it turns out) from when I was doing a couple of propulsion conversions .

Had to change the battery in the Mopeka sender yesterday, and to remove the bottle I have to remove the Truma filter from the regulator, as it was off the van I thought I would check the filter there was about half a teaspoon of gloop in the bottom of the filter bowl.

How long did your battery last? I just fitted my units last week, and the battery is already showing half full in the app. Mind you I have bluetoothed to both my phone and the gauge.

About 5 months, mind you opened a new Maxel one from a strip that had a expiry date of 12/2024 and it read red to say the battery was shot, tried another from the same strip it was the same, found another unbranded one and that one read full.
