I totally understand your reticence Phil and I have to say that over the years I've often gone topside to check that the things I've stuck on the roof are not parting company, but when all is said and done to be Frank the panel would have to destroy itself to come adrift. With all my might once...

Yes trev, it's a Victron 75/15.

Well, I decided after 7 years to replace my 120watt solar panel with an upgrade. Not absolutely necessary as I haven't had to use my Honda generater for the seven years since I built this van, mainly because of the 120watt solar panel, ( We do alot of off grid and use the Sky Q box too). But I...

No Phil, my thoughts have been about refilling a say 6kg propane non 80% compliant bottle from a larger Propane bottle in a private environment, I.e. Not in a public place. I noted in my search for Rules and regulations that someone on ebay had been prosecuted for selling adapters that enabled...

As a matter of interest I would like to know if anyone can find in Government rules and regulations where it is illegal to fill a propane bottle from another. Yes I have seen lots about illegal this and illegal that but from interested parties such as Calor gas and Gas it, infact only from...

I'm sorry to hear that Duckato, the Ducato ones are really quite robust in the polyprop pieces why there should be a difference in material quality is a bit of a mystery, maybe they were a proto design for the blinds and when redesigned for the sevels they took complaints into account. I have...

The Tare weights are stamped on the bottles Phil, so if the Tare weight is say 6.56kg and the bottle weighs 6.58kg then to all intents and purposes its empty. But frankly if a bottle has ceased to ignite a gas ring then again to all intents and purposes its empty. By the way I'm not purporting...

Well the final review on Remis cab blinds for Ducato. The N/s cassette blind took me about half an hour no real problems and quite easy to fit, the O/s cassette took about 15mins as I now knew the score, BUT the front blinds took me about 3hrs, as the instructions are a bit basic and to me at...

By the by Magnums have delivered another o/s front cassette, so they have come up trumps. But my son is up at the moment for me to help him finish off his van build only three years late 😄 He's decided to sell it as he has now got another daughter of 3 months and bought a new house so hasn't...

Yes I've used curtains and find they are a good alternative, it's just that with curtains nobody can sit in the front seats and face the rear so curtains do tend to shorten the living space. Phil

Hi Sarspen, Have you actually measured the voltage at the battery terminals with a multimeter? That would be a good start for trying to sort your problem. Preferably remove the neg side temporarily so as to make certain of the voltage the battery is providing. Then armed with that a more...

Just to make things clear a converted car to LPG also picks up liquid gas which is then pumped to a converter which mixes gas with air which is then injected into the inlet manifold system, much the same way as a forklift truck engine does. Phil

Well they have arrived and the O/s door cassette is broken from out of the box. Have phoned Magnums and am Awaiting a return call to sort the problem out. A bit of a disappointing start.🤨 Phil P.s. I have been doing some googling and apparently this joint that's brocken is a common...

Yes they have specially made pick ups inside which pick up liquid gas not vapour. The engine on forklifts are designed to run on liquid gas supplied not vapour. Phil

Quite frankly if someone is not happy about using a straight transfer pipe and aware of how to do it safely, then they should not be doing it and purchase a Gasit bottle and associated connectors for garage forecourt style filling. Phil But freedom of information is sometimes.es a good thing or...

Yes, or you can do it In batches till you have the required weight I.e. fill your 6kg bottle off the scales for a small transfer of liquid then reweigh the bottle it might now weigh 9kg a d so you will have transferred 2kg of liquid in a tare weight bottle of 7kg, you can keep refilling like...

Trouble is Gasit and equivalents are expensive. If you know the Tare weight and the full weight of the cylinder you are filling then it's very easy to fill to 80%. I.e. weigh an empty cylinder, say its 7kg And it will be marked as say a 6kg gas bottle. So you whilst on some scales fill The...

Over the years I have tried several cab blinds the usual silvered and cushioned material that either sits outside and is attached by door handles and rear top of front doors and the inside suckered held blinds which I'm using at this present time. I've held off from buying the fold away Remis...

Whilst I would not condone illegal practices I have to agree with Phil that if done correctly, transferring liquid gas from a larger bottle to a smaller bottle is no more or even less dangerous than transferring petrol from a Jerry can to a vehicle or generator, as when transferring liquid gas...

I've just been reading about this insane. move by calor gas to discontinue 3.9 and 4.5kg bottles which in turn has caused a Massive shortage of 6kg propane bottles Due to thousands of people switching to 6kg, self builders have also been blamed due to the vast in rease of self built...
