| when I pulled in to two propane filling | stations in the Victoria British Columbia area, neither attendant could fill | the propane tank under my Westfalia. I was told that the angle was wrong, | and they couldn't fit the nozzle to the "tap." They suggested jacking up | the van to allow for better access for the filler hose. Has anyone else had | this problem Tricia, I ran into this problem two or three times after purchasing my '87 Westy new, way back in the last millennium. My solution was to have a propane nozzle extension made at a local propane supply company. It fits on the end of the propane nozzle and allows easy connection to the van's propane tank for fillup purposes. I carry it in the van for those times when the propane tank needs filling and the propane station doesn't have the proper fittings to allow access to the tank's fillup valve. The extension cost about $30 ten years ago but it's saved the day many times. Roy Olynick '87 Westfalia GL (till death do us part) '91 Honda Civic SE '01 Honda Civic LX |
