Nice reel Roy I used one of them for 6.5 years & it never let me down once! Compact, light & easy to use. I've just replaced it with a Hozelock metal one which isn't as good!

Hi Roy,

can I ask what are the insurance implications for using this.

Someone told me about this product last night and would be interested to know what the insurance companies say about having it in a van, please note I am not putting this down at all just curious.

I have to have the gas bottle in metal cabinet that is being fabricated and has to be bolted down. Other than warning stickers no problem.

Hi Roy,
This metal cabinet - how do you access the gas bottle to replace it when empty, or are you using the Flowgas cylinders with the remote fill to fill it yourself at your local Auotgas garage?

If you have a caravan the gas bottles are always outside conveniently mounted on the towbar. With a motor home, I understand the gas bottles have to have their own vented compartment, accessed from outside only and sealed off from the living compartment. I would have thought the same rules would be applicable.

It will be a refill one, lpg gas conversion tanks are fitted in the boot of a car sometimes.

I suppose you could buy a second hand underslung lpg tank from a vehicle scrappy and bolt it under the van?

Nice reel Roy I used one of them for 6.5 years & it never let me down once! Compact, light & easy to use. I've just replaced it with a Hozelock metal one which isn't as good!

Everyone critisis me for using those hose reels and say "theyre crap" but i can not fault them, ive had all the fancy metal ones and would have these any day...and theyre only 20 quid! Had ours about a year now, not a spot of bother with them.

Nice setup Roy. Let us know how you get on with it.

Once they are 10 years old they have to be pressure tested and a new certificate issued. Usually costs more than the second tank. If it fails then you not only lost your initial outlay, but you still have to pay for the certificate cost.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the system needs to have an annual safety inspection by a competent person as well.

If you go onto Ebay, there is a chap on there who advertises S/H tanks, but notice his 'safety' clause that covers him if anything were to go wrong. Insurance issues can also become a nightmare.

This is the vent cap and it can shut right down. It is 100mm and the flue is 80mm inside diameter, hence the reducer.
