Pretty please Can you post a direct link to the exact manometer that you use as can't seem to find it via the ebay link that you've provided :). Thanks!

I especially like the way Greg, gives his information freely, no trying to screw money out of you and no hidden agenda, there are not many of these people left... sadly.

The most crystal clear and informative explanation EVER ! Not only do I now understand the regulations, but also the reasons why. Thank you Sir !

Once again, Greg's provided *the* definitive content on a DIY conversion topic. In this case, LPG. Thanks for sharing this fantastic detail on LPG in DIY conversions. The value you provide with your content is second to none. Very thorough. Wonderfully presented.

Another bible for camper van converters. Having watched 100s of conversion videos I don’t recall many being compliant. Really useful information Greg, thank you.

As always Greg, your informational videos are brilliant. No nonsense and detailed. As someone else commented, your delivery on how you speak and deliver the information is extremely good. No Muss no fuss. No stupid music, just the facts. Nice one !

Greg you've got my model Bus on your T-Shirt :) Thanks for such a detailed explaination, I'm alway horified when I see people using the gas heater inside their van, especially when they compain about the moisture without giving a second thought to how the Carbon Monoxied that is damaging their brains. I think this video will have a two fold effect, 1, it will make people do it right if they are DIY and 2, it will make people realise how spending the money to get a professional to do it it worth it. It was good to put in the sad story about the boat owner, and it reinforces the need for floor vents to take away any leaking gas. Live the dream and live it long, may your firm pipe work get all the attention it needs!

I agree with all the comments I like the way you are well-mannered and soft-spoken but also loud enough to hear and very thorough✨👍😃 cheers mate!

Greg, long time watcher, first time commenter and mate this video has been absolutely fantastic to watch, the way you articulated the regulations was easy and simple to understand, thank you so much for your time and dedication put towards these videos.

Great presentation Greg. Thanks for your efforts. LPG installations can be SO dangerous. In Australia, we have a requirement that a gas drop vent is required under each gas appliance as well as in the storage box. Also that the main pipe run (rigid) is fitted outside vehicle and then T'd off through the floor at each individual appliance (ie no Ts inside vehicle). Also, and more importantly, the final requirement for road certification (ie ability to gain insurance cover) of a home-built canpervan is that the gas installation is approved by a qualified gas fitter, who then takes on the legal responsibility if there is an accident involving insurance issues. Same requirement for 240v installation, with a certified electrician. Doing the job is only half the battle, finding the tradesman willing to take the risk and sign off on your work can be difficult.

I love your technical videos. You are probably the best van builder on KZfaq for European Citizens.

This was one I've been waiting for. Far too many bodge installs on KZfaq. Excellent as always Greg. Thank you.

By far the most informative, inspirational van build series, I´m so thankfull for your hard work putting these together Greg :) Huge respect from Sweden, stay safe

Thanks Greg, I have been watching all you van build videos - all are most excellent! Glad I watch this one!! My kitchen unit for our camper van came NEW with a hob and grill fitted with a gas hose attached. Having read the hob installation instructions for the hob it states do not use rubber hose. I won't name and shame the supplier but I will have a word with them. Best I remove the unit and fit some copper pipe!! Thanks again

Thank you for the time you took to explain all of this very important safety information. You made a topic that could easily have been boring into a very educational and engaging video. You explained the physics behind the reasons why the rules are the way they are. Thank you!

Greg, this series has helped me a huge amount. I ended up with an external tank installed under the tail because of German regs. Must say I struggled to get close to the neatness of your installation. Hat off to you. If I may, some comments on LPG for Germany based on my experiences. Hope it helps others as yours have. 1 - The system you have with Gaslow us not yet clearly approved, falls into a grey area and is currently being reviewed. Similar systems using Truma dual control are also affected. Issue is that although the controls are approved, tanks are approved, you're not allowed to use flexible pipes to connect fixed gas tanks. Oddly, you can fit dual removable tanks in a gas locker connected with flexible hoses and your Gaslow switch overs. 2 My impression is that steel piping is most often used, not copper. I ended up using steel. It's very hard work to bend. Even with a bender like the one you used. The compression fittings need a lot more tightening than copper and what I thought was tight, certainly a lot tighter than you needed on copper, leaked. 3 It's a requirement to get the system inspected and certified by a qualified body. This is usually a local caravan/camper place. Must be repeated for each Tüv - MOT equivalent. Tanks must be certified every 10 years. 4 There are labelling requirements as well. 5 Doing it yourself is quite straightforward as you've shown, many caravan centres are used to self builds and willing to advise, but not all. 6 Using the combi heater while you're driving is legal and safe, so long as a crash cut off is properly installed. I don't intend to do this, but had one installed for extra safety. 7 You must only run one appliance off a single 8mm pipe. Couldn't make out if this was a legal or practical requirement. 10mm pipe is only allowed up to a manifold. So I have 10mm to the electric shut off like yours, a very short 8mm connection to a manifold, separate feeds without T pieces to each appliance. Manifold has taps to shut off supply to individual appliances. 8 Main German fittings maker seems to be GOK. They have a really useful brochure detailing layouts, the supply components which is really helpful. 'Lösungen für Flüssiggas in Freizeitfahrzeugen' 9 For users of refillable bottles with German threads, adapters are available so they can be refilled in countries which don't use the German fittings.

Greg, Big thank you for the time it's taken researching all the correct specifications, sharing with others in your usual precise way "This video will save lives" 👍 🚐

Greg your an absolute legend! Your info series is excellent and exactly what I need for my upcoming van build, your my go to for van conversion info and I thank you, if I ever meet you I owe you a beer/coffee at least.

This is a great video. I've done everything myself with my own initiative, but gas safety is where I draw the line. This has told me everything I need to know. Thank you.

Excellent video and information Greg. Like you I have found it difficult to obtain all the relevent info for installing LPG in a van. The info you provide is priceless. Thanks :)

CONGRATULATIONS..,.,.,you explained these regulations like a true pro.,i dont have qualifications for install or testing lpg but am a NG commercial/domestic engineer and i know how hard it is to understand and constantly sit exams to keep my licences updated...i learned so much from your explanation of bsi/en regs..they can be so confusing.......your attention to detail is what made your install SAFE and you had confidence if any thing were to happen such as RTA...where emergency services have to deal with the cylinder etc,,,,,,

Something I've not seen another Van Conversion DIY do is look up, study and apply the proper codes for Gas. These codes are written of experience/applied science and exist for the greater good. This presentation is professional and concise, what a great teaching tool. Thanks again

Your timing is impeccable. I'm not far from starting my propane build. Thanks for this vid. Great detail as always.

Greg another thorough and succinct video very informative as per usual and to the point keep them up and when ever you do go travelling please keep up the videos and above all enjoy the ride and be safe will continue to follow!!!!

Another informative, well presented vid Greg, thank you. It's also appreciate with you taking the time to read though EN1949. My thoughts are that with electric it bites and more often than not, you get a second chance, however when you smell gas, it can kill you and others nearby. I've a LPG Tester advising me and you're so on the mark with your comments.

This is a brilliant video. I’m a gas engineer who hasn’t done much work on vans. I’m impressed.

Really appreciate all the effort and explanation here. I'm sure you've saved a few lives because of the video.Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, I was literally about to install everything wrong until I came across your guidance. Just waiting for right parts to arrive now 👍🏼

Have just bought a Gas it refillable LPG system and this video has helped alot, thanks

Always a reliable source of information to come back to when needed. Many thanks Greg.

Thank you so much for this very important information! I am designing a van build and I have been quite shocked at how many people let their propane tanks roll around in a drawer in their van’s living space.

My father was an engineer and a great handyman, like yourself. He would set his hand to anything and everything, but he wouldn't touch gas. So, there's no way I'd give it a go, despite your excellent explanation once again, Greg. I'll know what to look for, when I'm checking what the gas fitter is doing, though. ;)

Thanks for your videos Greg! By far the best van build info on KZfaq.

Thanks once again Greg for the great video and taking the time to make all this information clear and accessible to everyone! 👍🏻👍🏻

hi greg i am a lpg gas eng your video was spot on the only thing i would say is to take a look at the alde bubble tester this is fitted in line and all you have to do is press the red button and hold it down if there are bubbles in the see through part you have a leak you can test you gas as often as you like i fit a lot of them on boats. hope this helps

Thanks Greg, excellent information as always. As a Gas Safe Engineer with LPG qualifications can I please add, while you correctly stated it can be a DIY installation, I’d strongly recommend you employ the services of a competent Gas Engineer, with the relevant Gas Safe qualifications. Get them in a the right time & it’s not a time consuming or expensive job, but a safe one. I believe any Insurance Company will look for a Safety Certificate for the Gas installation & it makes common sense to have an annual check. Cheers Greg, I love your attention to detail & thanks for taking the time👍

Brilliant information explained clearly and concisely as always Greg. One caveat to this is that (after extensive conversations with Truma), it is perfectly fine to install a (specifically) Truma flue underneath or within 300mm of an opening window (not door) providing a Truma window switch has been installed. This detects a broken seal when said window is opened at automatically shuts the boiler off to prevent any exhaust gas re-entering the vehicle. There may be an equivalent available for other manufacturers but that's for one's own research!

One of the very best videos! I learned so much. Really appreciate the work you put into it! We all owe u a giant thank you!

Thanks for all the work and the expenses you saved us Greg! Excellent informative video as always. ATB - Marc- Belgium

Once again a brilliant video, your 100%, safety is paramount, cheers Greg

Think of this Greg. Your great video and explanation may one day save someone from serious harm or worse. You are a top guy.

Thanks from a curious RV technician in Canada. By the way, this confirmed the suspicions I had watching some european van conversion videos and thinking that the gas intallations were wrong.

Well it seems me being a retired senior process/quality engineer in the automotive & construction industry has it's benefits after all 😉 Thanks once again Greg for the superb information👍

Another great video thanks Greg! I am just about to install my under mount tank and your advice will be invaluable cheers.

Brilliant advice as always Greg, shamefully I have previously used PTFE tape on compression joints (water only), so thanks for the correction!

I’m doing my sprinter this year, I’ve been YouTubing the subject now for two months gaining as much knowledge as possible and Greg makes everyone else here look like amateurs 😂, what a wealth of information, fantastiq

Thanks for explaining all the requirements Greg! This is exactly what I needed to know!

Hi Greg, I do think with your skills and knowledge you could easily make a business for yourself in van fitouts, however they are a labour of love ! Very useful information indeed, I was going to fit a cooker inside a studio and the bottled gas inside. Me thinks that will definitely go outside and have a run of copper to the inside to the cooker.

Hi Greg. I’ve to tell you... I really like your videos. You make a great job full with information. Thank you.

This is so so good Greg, so informative and presented in a relaxed manner. Love.it!

Hi there Greg ! chose to go electric + diesel heating so I can skip Gas altogether... plus I can put it under the van... winning some room... and weight ( I hope ) ! as usual : all respect for your thoroughness! top job!

Dam it! This Vlog convinced me to keep my log burner. Gas seems so dangerous; the missus had a bottom burb halfway through this, I jumped out of the van into the fresh air.

Thx for these informations, I saw some really unsafe installations some days ago...recommended your vid to them, hope that they will watch this here and didn`t blow their vans up... :-) Have fun!

4:18 when he said "there will be a test..." I thought he was going to continue "...at the end of this lesson so make sure you pay attention". I went white as a sheet, took me back to my schooldays!

Thanks Greg for yet another fact filled video. My van build will benefit from this.

Another excellent video Greg! Stay safe! Thanks!

This is great Greg! I think I'll stick with electric cooktop for inside the van and use a camp stove on a picnic table when appropriate.

Fantastic video on LPG. Hope you will be uploading more.

Greg Absolutely brilliant presentations as are all of your videos thank you

Legend!! These videos are fantastic, really informative. Thanks a million Greg!!

Excellent video, really helpful as i have just started my van conversion. Thank you

Thank you very much mr Greg for this and the other videos...i found them wonderfull done and i love them the doble because you simes a realy clevered and kind person 👍👍👍❤😊

thanks for all the advice, makes a the dream a possibility

Hi Greg! Another thorough, informative, most-excellent video! I’ve also done lots of research as to the best way to route my gas piping for my van build. Reading the various online forums, everyone seems to have a slightly different approach that they feel is “right”. Here in the US, there is no nationwide governing body that regulates this. Our home building codes, for example, are all at the state, county, and city level (at least to my knowledge). What might be acceptable in one locality might not apply in another town just a few miles away. Of course, the city codes must comply with the county codes and these must in turn comply with the state codes. Obviously this means that hard and fast regulations for RVs that apply across the country are non-existent. Otherwise you might not be able to cross state lines! When doing a van or any sort of conversion such as a skoolie here in the US, it’s pretty much an anything-goes affair (at least from a legal standpoint). There is no governing body that inspects your work, as is the case in more “civilized” places like New Zealand, for example.There are some industry “standards”, but these are little more than suggestions. Again, this is based on my research and I could be incorrect. (I’m quite sure your viewers will make me aware of any inaccuracies.) Therefore, I decided to take the tack of more closely following the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards (pun intended). I figure if it’s good enough for the confined spaces found in a boat that’s subject to all the stress of the open ocean, it’s probably sufficient for a van. I’m installing a horizontal LPG tank beneath my van. The regulator will be attached directly to the tank with threaded copper fittings, and from there I will use black iron pipe to a manifold with a shut-off valve for each appliance. From each valve, more black iron pipe will be run along the bottom of the van and then up through a sealed grommet, penetrating the van floor immediately below the location of each appliance. Effectively a star network topology, in geek-speak. :-) From there I will run rubber gas hose (which is approved by the ABYC and UL) directly to the appliance. While copper piping is also approved by the ABYC, I prefer to use rubber because I am concerned about the hardening (and possible fracture) that copper tubing is subject to under vibration, which is common in a van, especially when driving down washboard dirt roads. As I am sure you are aware, this is the same reason one uses stranded rather than solid copper for all wiring. I’m curious what you and your readers (in particular those here in the states), think about my approach. Note that many RV manufactures such as Winnebago use black iron pipe for the gas lines beneath the RV, so I didn’t come up with this method on my own. Given the huge liability that manufacturers such as Winnebago are subject to, I’m guessing (hoping?) they’ve researched this extensively. Cheers! Pete

Enjoy the learning from your videos. Answer to questions I didn't know I had.

God I love you man.........lol It's very clear from all your videos, how passionate you are about things you get into and how lovely you are sharing your vast knowledge and experience with everyone...... Good on you Greg and thank you from me who may convert and those that will, after you showing how it can be done ... Paul

Knowledge + skills = Greg. Thanks for your videos.

Fantastically informative again, Greg. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant in-depth video Greg, well done my friend....you can’t cut corners when gas is around...

Brilliant video Greg these really are a god send knowing someone is giving you good information. I wondered how you made the connection to the regulator for pressure testing as most/mine have a GOK fitting on them.

Brilliant! I'd like to see you doing the joints, install etc. Thanks.

Very detailed and extremely useful. Thank you Greg!

Is there a nicer guy on the whole of YT?? Love your stuff Greg. 😉👍👌

Excellent distillation of a complex system. Good work. Thanks.

Great video, loads of useful information! Kudos and thanks a lot for uploading. Subscribed.

Excellent. Considering I didn't have access to the standard, I'm pleased to say mine is pretty much compliant. Wish you'd done this video a year ago mind you ;-)

You Sir are awesome. Detailed explanation and great build, can't wait to see the final product. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Portugal. PS: First xD

Sad... I clicked like before I even watched it.. but I knew it would be another good one from Greg.

Excellent video as always Greg, very useful. Thanks.

Very good and important information. Thank you Greg.

A bloody marvellous video. I would just like to point out that if you are a university student or alumni then your university likely has access to the British Standards so you'll be able to get hold of them for free rather than paying the extortionate amount that Greg probably had to pay!

Quite simply a brilliant video Greg and very informative

Wow - absolutely fantastic advice, well delivered and very informative !!

Well amongst the best on line , very informative 🙏

Love your videos. Watched it, although I'm planning my van only on diesel and electrics. I don't want to have any lpg in my van. Shower water will be heated through the cars cooling system. Heating with diesel. Fridge with diesel or electrics. And the only "lpg" I want is a 2 or 3 burner cooker with these small cartridges.

very well explained! i just have 2 observations, the difference between butane and propane need discussing and, in my view, the cause of the dreadful boat explosion is normally lack of a 'drain' for the leaking gas. ie. its is vital any escaping gas, as you say is heaver than air, need to be thought of as water, and will 'pool' if not drained away! typically in a boat you can't fit a vent to allow the gas to escape! in fact it may look stupid, but you have to bucket the gas out of a boat as you would water. great videos, keep up the good work

Great Information, thank you,I have a guy coming tomorrow to test my work and hopefully get a certificate. Mike W

Yet another great video Greg, thanks! I've not found any others who offer proper detailed info like this... Brilliant! Out of idle curiosity, how much was that doc?

Excellent video Greg, thank you for sharing

I plan on fitting a Diesel heater in my van. I would assume the Flue regulations are the same. Great video. So much research goes into your content I am surprised you have time to build the van.

Thank you Greg! So concise and clear!

I think with LPG you need to give it a regular check over as well once it's installed. A moving, flexing and vibrating environment like a van is going to pretty harsh, fittings may become loose, and so on. It's not going to be 100% fit and forget. Thanks for another great vid!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is much appreciate! :)

Fantastic video, super thorough as usual! Really useful thanks.

Great communication skills. Beautiful.

A very interesting and informative video Greg, thank you.

Exceptional information. Clear and concise

Thank you thank you thank you as you may have guessed I really appreciate the work you have put into this video, it was just what needed. One question I want to have gas for cooker and boiler do I have to fit a branch to the pipe work to split it or if not how do you run 2 appliances from one tank??? Thank again Jason

Hi Greg If you need to use a tool to connect the gas then yes the work has to be done a gas safe engineer ....Not so many of us gas engineers hold the lpg element Great stuff..

What a great informative video very well put together well done 👍
