Anybody got any advice on LPG on the Euro shuttle? I'm sure I've taken an LPG car on it before, from memory I just turned off the LPG and ran it on petrol after I got through the barrier, not sure if that's what I was told. Anybody else got any experience of LPG on Euro shuttle?

LPG is banned - you will need to declare no LPG when you book - sometimes they also ask at check in.

Just a little story on why. I had a GMC Van a few years ago. It ran on LPG (so I laughed my ass of on running cost in the Netherlands thanks to the campervan rules) with a total of 300 liter in tanks. Two 120 tanks and one (the original tank when I bought it, the rest was new) of 65 liter.

The thing is they let caravans on with LPG tanks as long as they are turned off.

Checked with the wife, and we're pretty sure we went on the ferry last time, not the chunnel, it was when boarding the ferry that they said 'Are you running on LPG, I said yes, and they said I had to switch over to petrol for some reason!

I think the point is KP that all manor of home fabricated kits and home installed deathtraps are out on the european/british roads so a blanket ban is quite understandable for safety reasons... Caravans usually carry bottles of an industry standard, therefore safe Craig |
