Excellent job, you two. Really enjoy watching you, progress through your van build. I'm waiting patiently on getting finances sorted to start my own build, but I have other financial commitments at the moments, will have to wait another 2 years until my feet are clear financially. Keep up the great work I'm loving what you do. 😊

This is one of the best videos I've seen on fitting an LPG system. Very clear explanations, thanks guys!

Thanks! Hopefully that answered some of your questions. There are alternative ways to install gas and plenty of people just use exchangeable gas bottles too, but we wanted to keep everything outside of the van as much as possible which is why we chose this method. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Ah ok, so that’s probably an issue with the device itself if it’s powered up. Guess we just got lucky!

One of the best self build gas installations on you tube, Having finished my van over two years ago it brought back painful memories of me on my own trying to manhandle the tank into its brackets in North Scotland on a freezing wet February day. I’m still traumatised, my advice to anyone is do this with a helping hand and do it when the weather is nice or in a shop. It’s a truly horrendous job, you have no space, the tank is unbelievably heavy and awkward to manoeuvre and those rubber straps are bleeding nightmare, literally blood sweat and tears. 👍

Well done guys I’m waiting for a quote back from auto gas 2000 today after seeing this video , fingers crossed my install goes as smooth .

Thank you 😊 We were absolutely bricking it until we went to see the guys at Autogas 2000 and they laid it all out in a simple way to understand. The main difficulty we had was literally getting the gas tank into the brackets and that was mainly because of the lack of space. If we’d been able to lift it up that would have made it much easier. Glad you enjoyed it anyway 😀👍

Just put my tank on. What a f*%king, c^%t that was to get in! Have the same set up as you guys 😅

Hi guys great video. You skipped over connecting the pig tail, did the pigtail connector just fit straight through the hole by the on/off valve? I’m preparing to fit my tank and my pig tail doesn’t fit through the gap?!?

the straps I have with my car LPG the straps are encased in the protective plastic much easier as you say you would think the rubber you have would be pree glued to the strap

Great video guys, really appreciate the detail. Are you happy with your choice of a 40l tank? Are you using as much gas as you anticipated??

Good video but I’m puzzled why you had to turn the elbow round to connect the filler hose? Would the straight connector not fit straight on if it went through the large hole first? The elbow connection could then have gone onto the filler on the side of the van. I would have thought that by turning that fitting that amount without loosening it off was incorrect but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Great video! Did you install an electric level sensor or just have a rough idea of when it needs topping up? Trying to decide if £65 for the LED fill indicators are work it.

Not sure if anyone has already said or if you have changed it but the regulator NEEDS to be HIGHER than the tank.

Thanks for the video, I wonder if you always close the tap of the gas tank (at night, while driving etc.)? Or do you just leave it open?

Great video guys! We're just fitting our LPG tank system which looks very similar to yours but were planning to fit our bracket system on top of our plywood flooring in the van, rather than drilling down to the metal floor - did your supplier explain why they recommended doing that? Thanks ☺️

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. The system we used just isn't designed to be fitted on top of the ply, they said it wouldn't be secure enough. We have seen other people put them above but with different tanks and fitting systems to ours. Hope your install went well!

Was there a reason you didn’t paint or use anti-seize on the bolts or holes you drilled in the bottom. Are you not worried about rust?

Hey, similar position now! How did you wire it up/what fuse did you use in the end? Just to clarify, with the sender I ground it to the chassis/or my negative bus bar with the black cable, then run the green cable to connect to the receiver? On the receiver side, I just treat it like any other 12v component & run the black cable to the negative on my blade fuse holder & the red to the positive? (Ideally it would be great if I could splice into another near by 12v cable instead, so I could save space in my fuse holder, would this be possible?

How long does your gas last? What size tank did you install? In litres and dimensions? (length & width) They do so many tank sizes. I'd really like to go larger than 30 litres. Iv found a few different 38-40 litre tanks.

The gas lasts us around 3 months and that’s with pretty heavy usage - we cook on it often 3 times a day and boil the kettle many, many times for tea too. All the details of our components are down in the description below with links but it’s a 40 litre tank with dimensions of 270mm x 792mm. We’re really happy with it and would install the same one again. Hope that helps!

The leaks proved our inexperience but were nothing to do with competence. They were on olive valves which we’d been explicitly instructed not to over-tighten as it’s not possible to loosen them. DIY lpg installations are very common and all of the large lpg sellers offer kits specifically created for DIY installation. The company we bought ours from offers a service where they then check the installation once complete to ensure that it’s up to scratch and, most importantly, safely installed. We’re very confident that ours is just that and would rather take our advice from qualified professionals.
