gas butane///propane

[BurningSmell]

Morning all,
Thought better to post here rather than start a new topic, albeit this one is dated it’s the same sort of question.

This is the connection I have in our ‘new’ old van. It’s a 2005 Lunar Quasar. The previous owner used 4.5kg butane. I have some 6kg propane but want to check if I can use either or if the connection is only for butane.

Any advice appreciated.

Please read the forum etiquette for new members regarding reopening old threads. Hopefully the Moderators will move this to a new thread.

But to answer your question.

The connection you have is specifically for screw on Butane cylinders. However the regulator is compatible with both Butane and Propane, and all you need to do is to get the Pigtail ( the flexible hose with the butane connector) changed to a Propane Pigtail.

The only other concern is the bulkhead mounted regulator should be fixed higher than the top of the gas cylinder, to prevent the possibility of heavy ends( the remnants of oils and other contaminants that are present in commercial grade LPG cylinders) from reaching the regulator.

Apologies, I did read the 3 month rule but was on auto pilot there! Used to a local car forum where we do that. Will keep that in mind.

Thanks for the advice, will maybe just play it safe and get a buntane and look again next season when we’re not so close to heading off
