Hi, Just getting a campervan which has an LPG tank fitted for cooking and heating. Will probably need to fill it when in Europe (providing we are allowed to go there) and wonder if the dispensing nozzles in the garages on the continent are the same as here in the UK or if I will need to get an adapter?
Thanks

You will probably need an adapter, they are quite cheap though

You will need a set of adapters , there are 3 different types which will cover most if not all of different LPG dispensers

I hadn’t realised it wasn’t a universal nozzle.
I hate filling the LPG tank - that freezing cold blast when you unlock always makes me jump & usually zaps my hand. But the tank lasts us a year as we’re only using it for cooking, and we have an electric hob if the gas runs out. So OP may not need to refill while they’re away (but obviously best to travel with the adaptors in case).

Better to wear suitable gloves when using an LPG pump

Have a look at this page, the text in green tells you what country each adaptor is used.

Phishing, looking at the website you gave us it shows adapters alongside a normal Calor standard bottle, I thought that refilling of the standard bottle via adapter was not acceptable perhaps even illegal?
