Health and Safety - Rules

[Truckosaurus]

You can take the gas onto the tunnel as long as it is not plumbed it.

As for the tank exploding, lots of cars on the train has 50-100 litres of petrol sloshing about inside them. Let's face it, if there's a fire onboard we're goners.

I went through the tunnel in my camper for the first time for Spa WEC expecting to be thoroughly checked over, especially with a big 'LPG' sticker on the back, but no-one batted an eye-lid either way.
As I read the rules - up to 50kg is fine, but must be turned off.

Strange isn`t it?? We can all take bottles of gas and 1000`s of litres of petrol but I can`t take my factory fit Transit with LPG in a proper tank through the tunnel. Anyone remember the last time an LPG vehicle exploded or caught fire!!

Im hoping this information is correct for the Eurotunnel - (http://www.getoutwiththekids.co.uk/camping/camping-tips/transporting-gas-cylinders/) , shame if true about the Le Mans rules for camping ?

People on beermountain have queried the calor gas bottles crossed out on the poster and had an official response....
ONLY BOTTLES CONNECTED AND SECURELY LOCKED TO CARAVAN / MOTORHOME SYSTEM WILL BE ALLOWED!!!
That means taking a loose calor gas bottle to power a camping double hob / grill and a gas BBQ won't be allowed. Which is exactly what we've done for many years! Luckily this information gives us time to incorporate a quick release gas connection to the motorhome 'system' which hopefully gets round the new rule?

Here's my post from last year near the beginning of this thread that outlines the campsite situation. Rumours have it that someone threw a calor gas bottle on a bonfire a couple of years back and that combined with the 'fill a bucket with gas and light it' game that has been played for years around the campsites pushed the ACO to act I guess
