Lpg pump

Hi Guys, so with the impending shutdown of lpg at the pumps, ots still cheaper to buy a bottle and pump it into the car.

Finding a pump though seems tricky has anyone got/seen/made one?

Cheers

You could always get a LPG tank set up outside your house as some have for their central heating. then you can buy it in bulk cheaper still.

Dont think it's legal I remeber reading somewhere...but I also read you dont need a pump if the transfer bottle is higher than tank cant remember where though...

I think you need a meter dial for tax purposes even for a private user. A tank has regulations for filling and emptying. As the duty is governed fuel prices not like red diesel.

But if you have a private tank you would pay the duty on it when it is filled surely?
then you could just fill your tank up whenever you like?
And wouldn't the pressure in the tank push it into the vehicle's tank so no need for a pump?
Juss sayin!!

It's illegal to use a fuel delivered for and taxed for heating (it's only 5% tax) as a fuel for a road vehicle.
The same rules apply as using heating oil in a diesel vehicle.

Ah but I wasn't thinking of getting/using it for heating, we have gas central heating anyway, I was thinking of getting one installed purely for the Disco. And making it legal. My ex s-i-l thought about doing it once but then got rid of the vehicle. He ran/still runs a company so maybe he could have done it that way. He could still get lpg relatively easily, but now it is getting harder and harder to get locally. He no longer has the vehicle.
But I take your point.

The OP would need to tell the delivery company, that it is for road use, as they'll need to apply the correct level of taxation. That way it should be legal.

I stand to be corrected as the last discussion I saw on this was years ago but IIRC a domestic heating tank draws vapour from the top of the tank but if you want a home one for vehicle fuelling it needs to draw the liquid LPG from the bottom.

You are correct.
The tank in question needs to deliver liquefied PG, not gaseous PG.
