bbq point

[Rodone]

does anyone know whether it is ok to feedgas INTO system via this? Itenters the gas system on the canniste side of regulator.

 

[Damian]

No it is NOT ok to feed gas into the caravan system through the BBQ point

 

[readcaravans]

under no circumstances should this be attempted

 

[readcaravans]

infact new bbq outlets are fitted as standard with a NRV so gas is only allowed out through it and not in

 

[Rodone]

I have seen it done on several occasions so my next question is -why not?

 

[Clive-Cardiff]

I've been doing this on my last two vans. I can't see any way that this is dangerous.

Probably the same sort of stupid arguments that made us use bulkhead mounted regulators.
