Can I also refuel LPG abroad?

LPG abroad is on the rise. In most countries of Europe, LPG is sufficiently available. If you cannot reach an LPG petrol station abroad in a timely manner, then nothing is wrong. After all, a car on LPG can also run on petrol without any problems!

Met de handige app van Landi Renzo vindt u gemakkelijk een LPG-tankstation in uw buurt. Voor LPG tankstations in België en Frankrijk kan ik je de website carbu.com aanraden. Hier kan je ook de prijzen raadplegen van de verschillende LPG tankstations.

Don’t forget the fill nipples!

Do you think that you bring filling nipples during a trip abroad! There are 4 different filling connections in Europe, these vary from country to country.

Pure propane refueling

LPG is a mixture of propane and butane. The boiling point of butane (or the point at which liquid is converted to gas) is around freezing. For a motor home or air balone, butane is not usable at colder temperatures. For a car, this is not a problem because the gas is taken in liquid.

At the following petrol stations you can refuel pure propane:

If you go on winter sports or to colder destinations it is useful to refuel LPG on site for your mobile home, caravan or camper. In Norway you fill up out 100 percent pure propane throughout the year. If, on the other hand, you go to Southern destinations such as Spain, the share of butane will be higher in the mixture of LPG.
