#LPG #Gassystem #gasit
Thanks fella'. It's information like this that's going to prove invaluable when I go full vanlife.
I know praise and bigging you up makes you feel uncomfortable, but I'ma say this anyway. You are my inspiration. I'm about to turn 52 and just come out of a ten year relationship. I'm unsettled and for years have wanted to go back travelling like I did in my late teens and twenties. I love small spaces and prefer to adapt and overcome instead of pack for armageddon whenever I travel. I've watched 100's of van conversion videos and sat through countless (alleged) perfect-life scenarios of those that live van life. The perfect-toothed, achingly toned, chisel-jawed, sunglasses-after-dark wanderers accompanied by bronze-buttocked women whose vehicle doors open onto perfect sun-drenched beach vistas or blue lagoons every morning in their oh-so-desirable custom built expensive vans, resplendent with 'beautiful' interiors.
But that ain't real life. It's disreality-tv. So bollocks to them. Give me Project Amber. On a cold wintry morning, teeth rattling throwing a ball for Lance muttering about the mud in his van and wondering when his gearbox is gonna fall off. THAT is reality-TV. And THAT is what is helping me prepare for what's to come.
You're providing much more of a service than you realise fella'. Seriously. I really mean that.
Thank you. 😊
Agreed, this is real love for vanlife, not a portable holiday but a minimal lifestyle appreciating the small things
Great post mate 👍
Yeah, those #vanlife types make my skin crawl sometimes. They've given up (temporarily) the trappings of normal life with a mortgage, a fancy kitchen like something out of a catalogue and all that other bullshit in favour of a simple van, with a fancy kitchen like something out of a catalogue and the _same old bullshit!_
@@nagualdesign yes mate, agreed. One of the very few realistic van life videos I watched recently was by a young American lass. She built out her own van that she actually really did pay for and built herself. She did it on a budget, and at eighteen years old intended to travel for a year around her home state. But it was her follow-up video that grabbed me.
She spoke extremely honestly. Not only about the reality of van life, but why there are so many disreality videos. It comes down to making a good living directly from UA-cam by endlessly & continuously putting up channel content that only shows the wondrous aspects. Of which there are many, I get that. I do. But this girl spoke succinctly about how that content distorts reality. How no-one ever see's meltdowns, people crying. Cold and alone because something has broken or they're ill or homesick. Washday, toilet malfunctions, arguments, van breakdowns, violence, lost drones, etc. Because as, she says, no-one wants to watch that.
For such a young girl, she nailed it on the head. I'll try and find the link as it's a well crafted exposé of the truth behind 'why' so many are continually pumping out perfection videos.
Thanks dude, appreciate it and so glad the videos give you more than just entertainment. Makes it all worth while 👍 your perfect teeth Vanlifer rant had me n the gang in stitches 😂 it's true there's alot of fakery and glamourising within this little scene, the chase for thst perfect spot and being out in nowhere is always real but the realities come with it too,
All the best with your upcoming build! 🤘
Great vid and thank you for cleaning , many in society could learn from your good example 😉👍
Great video C.J. That’s confirmed to me that I will look into an underslung tank on my van. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻 all the best, Gaz. And no I’m not Gary the gas bottle!😂
Sorry for your troubles, but this was such an education about the different choices throughout Europe, am happy to hear you now have peace of mind in this issue, thank you for sharing, stay strong, stay safe, keep being you.
I installed exactly the same piece of kit on my motorhome. Best investment ever and makes life so much easier. We have found morrisons seem to be the cheapest. No regrets at all. Great video, thanks. 👍
Hi CJ.
I’ve fitted the 11kg Gasit bottle. When I got the van it had two 6kg Calor propane fitted.
I replaced one, with the 11 kg but kept the other one as backup. Running it through a T piece. I only have one bottle turned on at a time. Should it runout, I turn one off and turn the other one on. Simples.
All my heating, cooking , fridge needs are via lpg, I get through it quicker than you. I admit to having to use the belt and braces approach. I’d replace the other bottle, if I thought it was necessary, but after two, three month trips into Europe, plus most of the rest of the time away, this setup works for me.
As you’ve said, apart from drilling that bloody hole in the van, mines a pcv, the rest is easy.
Trotter
Hi CJ, good to see you, brilliant tool you had there, the perfect hole, those gas bottles are a con to fill. I bet you wish you were still in Scotland, love watching your content, thank you for the video, please stay safe. Xxxx p.s give my ❤️to Lance.
Looks like a great upgrade. Personally, if and when I do get going on a van to live in, it will have no gas at all. Diesel-fueled heat off the main tank, as much solar as I can fit on the roof, a second dedicated alternator, Lithium battery pack and compressor fridge and induction cooktop is the (fairly pricey) plan.
I got 2 full size house solar panels on my roof for 600 watts. Diesel heater of main tank, full size undercounter fridge freezer, Two 40A PSU to charge off the engine to 390Ah AGM's. I been running a solar powered shed for the last 12 years so i know what i can run and already know during the winter with endless grey rainy days you will be lucky to grab more than 30 watts. Lithium wont help the lack of solar either. SO you basically got to pull at least 1.5kWH from your alternator every day if you don't have gas and try to cook from it. . I dunno how you will manage it. Running the engine for hours is not good either the EGR valve and cat will die.
We had exactly the same problem when we were in Scotland and fitted the Gaslow system when we returned home. Ironically we were parked next to you at the Kilt rock waterfall car park. I was going to come and say hello but didn't want to feel like i was intruding. We waited for you to post your Drone footage hoping to get a glimpse of our van. We did but only for a few seconds. Stay well and safe and maybe if i bump into you all again i can pluck up the courage to say Hello.
Ah you'd have been more than welcome, there's nout special about us 😆 if you see us again sure thing come say hello 👍
LPG for the win!...
I have two systems on my van... one for the engine and one for the habitat(Fridge, Heating, water, Cooking)
Thank you for this VLOG, simple and self explanatory, the best thing I've seen about gas yet.
BTW, I have just watched your latest VLOG about giving up your UA-cam channel. Please do not, you are an inspiration, you are one of the people who has inspired my to learn basic video editing and making thumbnails, and I have a passion to share our adventures and van modifications. even if we can't move just yet. Thank you and stay safe mate.
Ahh welcome to the club!
Just to answer your question LPG stands for Liquid Petroleum Gas and it's a mix of Propane and Butane. Different countries use different percentages of mixes depending on how cold it gets in that country or even what season it is. As far as I'm aware the UK uses a Propane rich mix but the change could have caused the issue with your shower! You should also be aware that you need to change the tanks after 10 years but as you stated they pay for themselves after a yearish anyway! You can also download a "certificate" in Italian to bypass that issue, Oh and you cant buy LPG in Finland!
Refill-bottle does have to be testet, not mandatorily changed, as far as I know, valid for various countries where Yachties sailed who I helped upgrade their Propane system to removable bottles suited for LPG (with a TÜV-approved German system of 5 or 12 kg bottles, LPG-fillerneck ontop, LPG-technique inside, and two ways to take gas out: liquid phase (for fork-lifts p.ex.) and gas-phase). Italy is a problem, ever was, ever will be with bottle filling at stations, which derives from insuffiiently hacked bottles they had in numbers thirty years ago, causing recurrent and mahussive problems all over Italy.
Thanks now I've added another project to the camper!!!! lol seems like a great idea thank you for sharing all the best to you and Lance x
Absolutely life changing ...I have the gaslow refillible system....love it...2 x the largest bottle last me a year plus...dirt cheap too...adios calor👋👋
Glad I've seen this video ....will now get the system for my van .....will fit it ....great idea
Good job. I put 2x6kg bottles on in 2013 cost £299.40 paid for itself in 14 months. I put the filler on the bracket inside the locker because I didn’t want to drill a hole in me van. Stay safe young man 🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴🌈
Amber has some pretty amazing insulation!
Amber? Lance? Oooh I’ve finally woken up😄
Great system fitted my 2 bottles last year keep an eye on the seals at the bottle end both mine perished after 6mths!!
Hi, CJ
i did the same on my new van conversation. But then could not find a local garage the main garages are shell they tend to do LPG. I upgraded my 6kg to an 11kg. Just need to get out and use it now, yeeeeee right lock down 🤪 love your van you have done so much upgrades to it love it love it, stay safe michael nottingham.
It makes utter sense to change to lpg. 👍 good luck. Can't wait for the next video even though I'm working through lockdown. Yes I'm now a key worker and not just a number 😬.
Locksmith?
Nice video so thanks for doing them. I went for an 11kg for my van and not much more money than yours, but I do run heating on LPG. Calor is a right tuck up and I've got rid of mine. The under slung type is good for larger capacities but the price seems to go up exponentially.
I also have a 6kg gasit bottle. Great bit of kit. You can also get a Bluetooth Ultrasonic gas level system from gasit that fits to the bottom of the bottle and will tell you exactly how much gas is left in the bottle. It links to your smartphone. It’s a little pricey at £50 but it has saved the need for my second bottle (I now have more storage space in my gas locker) I just wait till the gas is down to about 15% and then fill it back up the next time I pass a lpg station. Stay safe.
Hi yes bought a safe fill bottle just before lockdown filled up £6.70 10kg bottle looks like it’s going last for months caravan locked down on a site 70 miles from home fitted the bottle on the Monday after setting up for season Tuesday morning had to come home site said to leave caravan it’s a safe place the caravan is brand new only had it on the drive three weeks added a few bits etc ordered a few accessories all sitting and waiting to be fitted thanks for the videos slight omission on the video was Lance has he been sent to the naughty corner 👌😀😀
Interesting video thank for sharing all the best and keep safe 👍
All countries use a different LPG mixture, and depending on the season it can also change which is a pain...usually warmer countries use more butane, so when it gets to freezing temperatures, not the greatest.
I would like to say thank you for all the inspiration and knowledge of how to live in a van I really won’t to make my life free and happy again keep up the grate vids mate I’ve now subbed and belled lol
Been waiting for this. Another great idea! I’ve had three cars in the past running on LPG. Given the space under your van a toroidal ( round) tank may fit. They are a lot bigger and should last you about 6 months!
when I got my motorhome it had the refill system (LPG) fitted with 2 big bottles. The only thing I find it is getting harder & harder to find a garage to fill up as a lot are stopping the LPG pumps. I will say that it last for a long time on my motorhome as only use it for the fridge sometimes & the hobs & cooker. well worth the money.
Nicely done man! We've got the same system in our Sprinter and absolutely love it! Only filled up once in the past 6 months 🚐🤙🙏
I always look forward too your videos all the time can’t wait for more videos keep up the good work on your videos and channel
Hi matey. Just for info many garages are removing Lpg filler points as the amount of Lpg car demand has dropped off and Lpg points being replaced by Electric charge points. Cheers from George and Jane Corby
You give so much useful information thank you for sharing
the savings will outweigh the cost defo a good thing to do . I'm sure iv seen someone that has an attachment for filling up when in France, I think it was reg Virgo or gadget john I'm not sure but I'm sure there is a converter for filling up , just loooked and gas it do a 3 PART EUROPEAN FILL POINT ADAPTER KIT for 29 quid
Guys.....with the way your Van's are facing the sun " South". It would be a good idea to cover all wheels/ tyres facing the suns UV. This way they will be protected from heating up and potential cracking..
glad to see your all still doing good hope the email i sent ash made sense if you have read it look forward to the next installments lol take care all of you
I never had any trouble filling up in Italy, it was just a bit weird the first time them doing it for you.
nice one fella you make it look easy
Just to add to this we have a car that runs on LPG and a house in France, when we travel through France the LPG connectors are different and you need to screw in an adapter. You can buy them for not much here but you don't want to discover that the first time you go tot fill it up. Pretty sure it is the same in Spain as well
There is an app MyLPG.EU lists all stations that sell LPG and people update it forum style.
Believe the safefill plastic glass fibre reinforced bottles are a lot lighter in weight.
great setup.
Like it, I think that's bloody brilliant!!
A shame you are in lockdown so far away. I'd hire you in a coll minute, you do good work. Thanks for the video, good job as always. If you travel abroad this is a very good idea anyways, and it seems like quite a saving in the UK. I could not believe the Calor price, I pay 16 Euro for an 11 kg bottle in Germany.
Great vid, thinking it may be a good idea if I started using van more. Cheers for the video.
One of the more pressing modifications when You start to go to other places (with "other places" in terms of problems with (red) gas bottle change starting at roundabout 100 to 150 km in Germany 😅) and being an absolute annoying maxi-bummer ever since for holiday tourists even. This fillerneck and three different adapters should open Europe to You with NO more problems when it comes to gas provisioning. Well done. There's a German system, just for other people's info, with refillable bottles, TÜV-approved, which are ok to be filled at the filling station even without a fixed filler-neck. (Installed some of those on yachts, Yotties have to come on land with their bottles for a refill, of course, for no water-filling-stations do have LPG, obviously.) "Tankflasche LPG" would be the term to google in search for those.
No more bubbly at the Christmas Party for Calor loooooool
LPG is the term that covers a range of gases . Propane , Butane and Automix ( propane/butane ) . Most people would have come into contact with these three types with out realizing any difference .But they are slightly different as they have different density / energy / freezing temp . Propane is the high performer of the three types mentioned . Flame is mostly blue with a yellow tip and is the hottest . Propane is found in camper bottles , fork lift cylinders and house supply cylinders .Propane is the cleanest burning of the three types and still remain in a liquid state at the lowest temperature . The freeze temp is very important for cold environments as LPG will not change from a solid to a gas quick enough for reliable use , acts the same as being out of gas . Butane is found in plastic cigarette lighters , has a yellow frame less heat energy , flame residue is sooty black . Becomes solid at the highest temp . If butane is used as a fuel to run a industrial boiler all the pipe work is insulated and heated ( even in Australia ) to keep the butane liquid . Butane is the cheapest of the three gas types mentioned , hence its use in industrial installs . Automix is a gas sold and distributed at gas stations as a fuel for vehicles , the percentage mix of propane /butane does vary from area to area , market to market . It would be rare for a customer to be informed on what mix they were buying when filling up at the gas station . Moderns cars have computers to manage this (ECU's ) and they run very reliably . Of course a fill up containing more butane content will take the car a shorter distance as it contains less energy . Taxi's in Australia use LPG , the fill up stations located at major Airports where 100's of Taxi's fill daily stock 100% propane mix to get the most distance out of a fill up .
If the heater/ cooker in the van , that are designed to burn propane run fine on automix , then happy days . If not then adjustments can be made , like insulating the bottle , pressure adjustment or cleaning maintenance of the burning element . Cheers thanks for posting
There’s also Fuel Gas which is available at most refineries which is the whole fraction without further refinement. Kind of like bunker fuel only a gas.
Vid needs more Lance!!
Excellent, but I'm not sure you should have thrown your 'old' bottle away.
I plan to have the same size refillable cylinder as you, but with a two way valve I intend to keep my 'calor' bottle for when the LPG runs out. That way, by just switching valves I can still have gas until I can refill the LPG cylinder, and then switch back to that.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this, and even though I know that you've been travelling with Ash and Marie for ages, somehow I hadn't subscribed. I have now.
Regards Mark in the UK.
For full time and going abroad for long periods refillable makes sense. I did not do it. 100 days in France and we ran out of Calor on the last few days. We finished the trip cooking on a Camping Gaz portable.
Hiya CJ nice job on the LPG insulation. I will be doing my electricity solar and LPG in the next month-ish and wondered if you could give me a message as I would appreciate your guidance and the assistant I only live 20 to 30 minutes away from your parents/ your original home before for the van and 20 mins Ash parents home. If you or/Ash wouldn't mind giving me a hand?
Cheers for clearing up the metal shavings alot wouldn't bother 👍
Keep safe u three and Lance
I wanted to be able to live in my van for extended amounts of time (bit of a prepper) so i fitted a 70litre lpg tank. My heater, water heater, oven, fridge and cooker runs off gas.
@Frost pot 875watts
The LPG adapters are all different in Europe too right? :P I've seen other vanlifers having to carry around a big bag of fittiings for all the different possibilities they are likely to face on the mainland.
Is that the original insulation the ambulance came with? All the best and hope you guys are staying safe.
A month! that’ll be nice. Got a 30L under slung ( bout £11 fill ) which runs shower, cooker, heater. Be lucky to get 2 weeks out of it. Think it’s the hs2000 Propex heater, just eats it. Still £20 odd a month, cants complain. Although I think that’s just what I did... still peace out ✌🏻 bredbin. Enjoying the vlogs 👍🏻
Danbury van.. Looks like i have a similar setup. Does your heater run often to burn that much lpg?
Hi there - another great vid! I’ve been watching you from the start and your exploits inspired the purchase of an extra long wheelbase Sprinter! Whilst we’re all confined to home, I’m getting some jobs done on the van to be ready for the off when the world opens up again. To that end, can you list the Gasit items you purchased for your install please. I’m looking to place an order on line, but they are not taking calls (due to the current situation - understandably!). Their website lists all the build your own kit, but there’s lots of options! A kit list would be great so I don’t buy what I don’t need - thanks very much for you help! All the best in lockdown (worse places to be than where you are, that’s for sure!) David
Thanks bud,
I just bought a ready assembled kit off eBay, the listing has since changed so I can't give a link but just type in gasit lpg system on ebay and loads of specs will come up. Just have a shop though as some companies try to rip you off just for assembling the kit, for my kit it should be £160-£180
Project Amber thanks mate! I’ve been looking on the Gasit web site. I’ll check out eBay
That first fill up is a bit of a surprise isn't it! I stood waiting for the display to zero, and eventually asked the guy on the till why it wasn't. He said that it pressurises the pipe first to check integrity and then begins delivery, Reassuring to know.
That system supplied & fitted here in Ireland is €450 but you get 2 11kg bottles :)
Good video! What do you think about Safefill? I use the bottles and its great. Ok, the bottles are expensive, but they last for a long time and you can always see how much gas you have left in the bottles.
And they're a lot lighter ?
@@marklittler784 they are indeed! I would say maybe a third of the weight of a normal standard metal bottle!
@@greenmanoffgridcaravan Harder to find LPG outlets now though I believe!
@@marklittler784 Yes and no. It's not that bad as people think. There are still plenty LPG outlets and I am more than sure that it will stay that way!
Good upgrade CJ ,I'm hopefully sticking a underslung tank on mine when I can get hold of one,sick off bottles taking up room,how you going on with the slap head bedroom ...
Do you know if you can still travel through the Channel Tunnel with this, or would you need to disconnect it first ? ( I have with the normal gas bottles disconnected ) Price has shot up for normal gas bottles, so I'm also looking at this system as a alternative
I've used Eurotunnel loads of times with refillable 11kg bottle,the only restriction in Max 50ltr tank,other than that you are required to show checkin staff that the bottle is turned off.I travel Europe a lot( usually!) and getting gas easy in most countries,different adapters required for each country but readily available set of 4 adapters covers everywhere,Spain and Italy where they have pump attendants usually have adapters on site.hope this helps👍
Heyy, there is a handy app called FillLPG which tells you all the stations in the UK that sell LPG and their pricing too.. I think it gets updated regular by us general people that use it.
I have two massive gas tanks under my van, which where mainly used for the Gas conversion that was on the engine I had. Since I have changed the Engine that system has kinda come redundant. I still have the tanks & they are used to power my heating (when its needed) & the gas hob.. I do have an immersion heater, but I am going to switch this to electric as I don't really use hot water all that much. I Think my tanks combined are 60 litres & I last filled them up in October.. So far.. I've not had to fill up..
With your LPG System is there a release valve to take away the excess pressure in the system? I thought you needed to have this open when filling up so it didn't over pressurise the tanks.. or am I talking crap..
I run my 8.2 Ltr Cadillac on LPG and it runs no different to Petrol except it's way cheaper .
Good video like your videos just not enough lol keep safe jj
Great video, i know this may sound stupid but are cookers and hob etc still ok to run from calor to lpg or does something need to be changed?
make sure to grab an adapter kit so you can fill in europe with the different nozzles
Sorry missed it which system did you put it? I ve looked at a couple of options for my van..gaslow has been my only quote so far🙂
Morrison’s is the best place to fill up on LPG. Usually the cheapest as well.
Where was the location pleassssseeeee of this awsome park up.
Got any links for all the kit required for lpg system? I only use gas for cooking but it would be good to have this in my van....did you also need to change the hob burners on your cooker top?
Did you put a hole on the bottom to vent in case of leakage
Where is that place in the opening shot. I have to camp there.
I decided from the outset I didn't want _any_ propane in my van. Messing with replacing bottles around the world gets old really fast so I've got a diesel heater, 12V fridge and (and this might yet bite me) a petrol stove with a good vent. Besides, I can make alcohol for the stove, electricity for the fridge and biodiesel for the heater and van but I couldn't make a single drop of propane, let alone bottle it.
Get some rescue tape to go with your duck tape - great for repairing leaks. Handles 8000V, 950PSI, 260 degrees C and hydrocarbons so it can get you through all kinds of scrapes. I've only ever used this brand but it seems to do what it says on the tin.

could you have kept hold of your empty tank until you were passing a Calor garage to get your deposit back ?
good upgrade glad your happy with it
When I purchased a gas bottle from Calor about 2 years ago I was told that they would refund the money if I brought back the bottle AND all the paperwork I received with it (there is some rental contract or some such, and a receipt). So it seems that just bringing back a bottle on its own is not enough to get your money back.
Did you need to make any changes to your appliances?
None, just a new regulator
I have a Propex set up that is the same idea, complete with first time fill sphincter clench😳 I am a little concerned that Shell are pulling out of LPG supply.
There's a few apps to show Lpg fill up locations 👍🏻
Looks like gruinard bay
I was looking at this system for the caravan as they do a dual system for mine quick question though does the gas pump automatically cut out when it’s full or do you just wait for the display to hit a magic number and let the button go?
The pump automatically stops when your tanks are full at about 80% to allow for different temperatures.
What where you reasons against an underslung gas tank (instead of keeping it in the locker) ?
Have you seen where he drives this thing, it ain't no stranger to being offroad! 😉
Haha @dustyKorpse makes a good point, but my main reason is there is no space under my van for an underslung
do the bottles have the 80% cutoff thing like the car tanks do?
We're Really Relay Camping yes they do.
Good vid ...doesn’t bode well for Gasit sending you leakey hoses
Where did you buy the refillable gass system from cam you give a link ples...
Just remember that if you travel to Europe some pumps will not fit uk filler so you will need a adapter
If you fill at a domestic heating LPG centre you only pay 5% VAT and not the 20% on road fuel at a petrol station
Don't forget you'll need adaptors for Europe as the gun fittings are different
R u not still on lockdown?? No more quarantine??
Also you need different adapters for different countries in Europe as they don’t use the same as us mate
Where did you get your log tank from please thanks what's the web address thanks
Looks like you need a propane hi low gauge from ebay or Amazon
Do you need a filler adaptor for EU?
Yes you do, the european adapter packs aren't expensive though, there's like 3 or 4 for different countries, forgot to add that into the video lol 👍
Lpgadaptercom job done just fill an empty bottle to eighty percent
get a gas motor tank it will sit under body and anything up to 80 litres could allways get two and same refill
Coming from the US I’d appreciate self service LPG. Maybe it’s just Oklahoma, I’ve never filled a bottle elsewhere, but driving to the Propane delivery services or finding a Uhaul guy is a pain. We have the same bottle exchanges run by dozens of companies and they don’t care whose tank you bring back for exchange but that comes at double the price of the gas.
Haven’t filled a tank since I bought a LNG grill, 2014 Weber Genesis SS LNG, not that that helps Van lifers at all.
Lpg is propane there's nothing else mixed in it I've been running a car on it for 20yrs
"A pain in the dick" :D
English Bottle?
Have you ever thought about going live
yeh and give Lance a mic
You should be watching the Lost in Europe channel... CJ makes notable appearances on their Lives
Maybe this weekend 👍
@@ProjectAmber wow I hope you do go live, I could watch you and Lance every day, stay safe xxx
LPG is the same as propane. LPG stands for liquid propane gas.
Petroleum, I thought?
Almost, but not quite.. LPG(Liquid Petroleum Gas) is a blend of Propane and Butane but works in exactly the same way
