Hi

I have a LPG tank and get asked each year have i turned it off, as you no the tap is hard to get to under the van.

what i do is turn of the gas at the gas valves (not the switches on the appliances)  inside the van, i think its just as good. 

Tell them its turned off. They never check under the van.

Vehicles fitted with gas tanks are prohibited in the channel tunnel.

The staff will always check that 'gas bottles' are turned off.

johnbow,

You are quite correct.......I stand back

We have a VW with underslung LPG tank. This is LPG from which to operate the fridge/cook on.

Every time they ask us to show it is turned off and also no more than 80% full. If they do pull you out they will motion for you to go over to a little bay and check the gas, then place a sticker or make a mark on the cardboard boarding pass you have to show on your rear view mirror.

As has been stated LPG fuel for which to run your vehicle off is not allowed in the tunnel or indeed other tunnels on the continent eg Mont Blanc.
