Filling instructions
Guide to LPG refuelling
For your comfort and convenience, all of our LPG refuelling installations are located within existing petrol service stations, with most LPG dispensers situated under the forecourt canopy next to the petrol & diesel pumps.
LPG refuelling is simple and efficient, carried out in much the same way as petrol and diesel with a hose and nozzle designed to lock onto the filling connector on the vehicle.
Once the connection is made, the driver simply presses and holds down a button on the dispenser until they have put the required amount of fuel into their vehicle or until the tank is full.
LPG tanks are fitted with a valve that stops the flow once the tank has reached its maximum safe filling level. Once the meter stops, the driver simply disconnects the nozzle and returns it to the dispenser.
Filling nozzles
When connecting the nozzle to the filler valve on your vehicle always check the pins are aligned, as illustrated on the right. Click on the image to enlarge.
There are two main types of filling nozzles used in the UK - Gas Guard™ and De Visser™. Filling instruction for both types of nozzles can be found below. Why not download these filling instructions in PDF format, print them out and keep them in your glove box? (PDF - approx 119Kb). |
