Further update on propane bottle pressure. At 110F (43C) ambient the gas pressure is 204psi well within the test pressure of the bottle. The U.S.A is virtually 100% propane usage for all purposes and has very high temperatures in some states. However, they are now fitting overpressure...

Further to my previous comment. I have now checked my propane bottles. They have a test pressure of 30 bar (450 psi) stamped on them. My Calor reference book gives bottle pressures as 1.72 bar for butane and 6.21 bar for propane at 15 degrees C (25 and 100 psi in old money). The previous...

Interesting comments on propane use. Please tell me why do all French filling stations store propane bottles outside in the sun if there is a problem. I have used (French) propane for over 20 years mostly in the south of France and have seen 40 degrees on many occasions. I have never been...

My Toshiba 15inch LCD is rated at 12 volt 5amp (60 watt) max. So via the mains transformer it takes 0.25 amps. It is possible to obtain 1amp, 2amp, 3amp, 5amp and 13amp fuses for U.K. plugs. I have a selection of them and fit according to need.

If you only want "free to air" channels then, apparently, ITV, Channel 4 and 5 are joining BBC early in 2006 and you will no longer need a SKY receiver or card, any digital receiver will do. Lidl were selling a "cardless" free to air set for

Buy a small "D" shackle (B&Q etc.) and fit it to your existing point. Make sure that you peen the end of the thread after fitting to ensure the pin cannot work loose. Stainless from a boat shop is better than plated.

Most of the cheaper inflatable jockey wheels are on 2 ply tyres. Try and get a 4 ply version on a steel wheel not plastic. AFAIK Towsure do not sell Alko jockey wheels. I bought one from them some time ago and the tyre literally fell apart after six months. God knows how old it was. No...

Hi As you leave Cheddar on the Wells road there is a farm on the right where the road widens at the top of the hill. They do storage undercover. My son used to use it but I cannot tell you any more detail.

Plastic stopper from a bottle of plonk is a perfect fit in the Status aerial hole.

All tyre manufacturers have load and inflation tables and ALL tyres should be inflated to the pressure suitable for the load being carried. The sidewall max pressure and load figures are a legal requirement for the North American market only. However, the original query indicates that the...

Try Lake Iseo instead of Garda which is very commercialised. Iseo town is a gem and the lake is superb with stunning scenery. Try www.puntadoro.com a family run site right on the lake. Last year we were pitched with our A frame overhanging the water. These pitches are in high demand and cost...

You are getting mixed up. Freeview is terrestrial TV . Free to air is what you are referring to. This will require a dish and satellite receiver. If you are happy with ONLY BBC programmes then any digital receiver will do. However, if you want ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 or any other programmes...
