LPG in Ireland

Post by **RichardU8** » 25 Sep 2006, 15:18

Are LPG pumps plentiful or scarce on forecourts in Ireland?
Is there a paper map available?
I'm thinking about a tour to include the West Coast.

Thanks for the link to FloGas...presume there are other suppliers too ?

Also it looks as though an adapter may be needed ????
... I quote...>> "Tourists please note: The standard filling connection in the Republic of Ireland is the Acme connector: the outside diameter of the one used is 1.75" (45mm). You may need an adapter if this is not the norm in your country. Some Irish outlets have adapters, particularly those near the ferry terminals, but it would be better if you obtained one in advance of travelling to Ireland. "

You can get an adapter from Steve at Gasure.
We have recently toured the west coast of Ireland. We got ferry to Dublin and travelled down to West coast and toured for 9 days. We found that LPG wasn't as common as we thought, but we managed ok. it was a case of looking at every station you passed to see if they sold it!! But be aware the price of gas was only 26 cents cheaper than petrol per litre so not as cheap as here. LPG was 96cents ( 67p )and petrol 120cents ( 84p ) per litre.
