Propex help arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

YAY! as birdy says, Welcome to the propex club, i think we may need them this weekend

 

I know it's brill I'm praying for snow at WC

 

I dont have one of these as im quite warm blooded, but are they safe with old farts ???

 

Great news you got it sorted. Be prepared for a lovely warm smug feeling as you quickly become all toasty in your van after you switch it on, Makes a massive difference to comfort. I can recommend underslung LPG tanks too. It costs 75p a litre to fill up and lasts ages. Ours powers the cooker and propex very nicely.

 

I would have thought so. Mine came with it fitted (Westy) and its 8 inches from ground to underside of the bash plate protecting the tank. Mine's standard height. As you can see below there is decent space and you could mount it a bit tighter to the bus and take a centimetre or two out of the bash plate to tank distance. You can probably pick up a tank second hand. GoWesty in the states supply them new.

Filling is very easy, you do it at a petrol station that sells auto gas. You do need an adapter to convert USA spec Westy connectors like mine to UK bayonet but they are pretty easy to get. I can send pis if you are interested. A typical refill costs me £3 and it was only £7 to fill the 9 litre tank from bone dry empty. The yellow cover on the left is over the filler bayonet.

 

that was meant to say pics not pis

 

Bertie - do you have details of the parts to make the westy tank into uk spec? i'm thinking of refitting mine.

 

is this the same sort of thing 50ltr under slung

 

Id love an underslung tank but id probably rip one off

My heater sits low and i wouldent want a tank that sits as low

 

This is what it looks like. Screws onto the threaded bayonet of the westy tank and the UK auto gas bayonet simply twists on and locks. You then hold the fill button on the autogas pump till it stops pumping cos its full and job's done. You then go a hand over your £3 or so and the person behind the counter says "Is that all you need?" in an incredulous voice.

Here are a couple of pics of mine

 

It's kind of torpedo shaped.

 

Just had a look at gasure they do an underslung 20 litre tank looks similar to the go westy one.
