Hi, about to deal with same thing myself (also in canada), and I have had stations refuse filling of my old westy as it did not have correct sticker applied (lost during repaint). It seemed to be more common in the last few years. I enquired at local rv supply place nearby, and was told of a service station that will examine tank. It seems a little mickey mouse, for the tanks we have on our vans, "fixed in place" require only a visual inspection. I'll be confirming soon, after i tidy up my install (rushed it to get going camping, and btw, dometic fridge worked like a champ, not blowing out when driving on logging roads for 6 days), and will report. However, the rv store would do an inspection and cert. my propane install (camperising by syncro from my westy bits). Now don't take this as gospel, was only one counter-person's info. I think I might try a web search for the regs. cheers alistair

I had no problem getting propane at other places. The tank is 25 years old. Does anyone know the law for propane tanks on Vanagons? Does it vary from state to state and province to province? What is to be done to get certification? Thanks, Alfred 85 Vannagon |
