BogMonster Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't know but I suspect LPG systems are covered by similar "touch it and die" legislation to domestic gas installations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No regs at all, hence availability of DIY kits....Moving is a case of re-plumbing and securing the tanks, and if moving inside you need to ensure any leaks are routed to the outside if the vehicle.It's not a quick job, and needs to be done properly if safe.

ThreeSheds Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Agree with Bowie69 on all points, but to expand on one: no regs but quite a bit of 'best practice' and some 'tips & tricks' which you would do well to research if doing it yourself - eg pipe runs, pipe joins, tank mounting etc etc. But you have already made the right first move by looking for help - unless you have experience of pressurised pipe fitting (other than brakes) I would advice keeping well clear, but you can find all the information that you need on the internet. If using professional help then you should work out where you want everything and where the pipe runs will go (with reference to para 1 above), and then as far as possible pre-strip these areas for access - you don't want to be paying your LPG fitter rates for him to be struggling to remove trim etc...
