The Law

UK

In the UK vehicles being used for work purposes have to show stickers indicating the vehicle is carrying compressed gas.  If the vehicle is not being used for work, i.e. a camper van, you do NOT have to show the stickers.

However, it is considered good practice to have the stickers if you are carrying compressed gas.  The fire brigade find great benefit in seeing the sticker if there should be a road accident, as it helps them contain the incident more quickly.  But, only show the sticker when you are carrying gas, otherwise the fire brigade will be miss lead.

Note:  If you are showing the gas sticker on your vehicle, expect to get stopped occasionally by the police when they check how you gas is stored.

In the UK:

a vehicle is permitted to carry a maximum of 2 x 10 liter bottles of compressed gas, unless the vehicle is ventilated with a rotating rooftop device, then the limit is higher.
Flammable gas MUST be carried upright at all times.
Warning diamonds must also be displayed, if for reward. Green for High Pressure, Red for Flammable.

I'll drop mine over on Wednesday for you to do as I may still be poorly celebrating our win over Everton so won't be working that day

Sorry you'll not be able to drop it due to celebrations, bet your team really sticks it to everton.

Heard a loud bang last night and imediatly though oh no! Steve was right, went outside and my neighbour told me it was just 5under1ands cup bubble bursting and it was followed by beep beep beep which on investigation was the cup winners open top bus reversing back into the garage.

so glad I don't like football,  .

Unlike petrol one thing that doesn't sell out in a panic buying rush is LPG, very handy enough diesel to last for a while might even fill up the truck mounts old petrol tank with diesel 


Also on selling out/cleaning related issues I did hear that Everton have also sold out like Newcastle, and renamed their ground, its now the Cillit Bang! Arena, something to do with removing filth from cups??? I don't get it myself? Anyone enlighten me?

used a vapour zero point regulator and a custom draw valve, liquid system are better for high supply but you need circulating hot water to get it to vaporises, it a trade off thing

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Hi Paul where can I get them from.

Cheers Tony
