LPG in Yorkshire

Post by **Dubstar** » 05 Apr 2008, 09:05

I'm off to York tomorrow from Manchester to pick up an engine for my van, so I need to know where the LPG stations in Leeds and York are, or any in the area please. My van won't run on petrol, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem.

Thanks

What did you Google? I think I did something like LPG stations, and everything I found would find the station, if you had an address for it or a name, which kind of defeated the object of the search in the first place really. I guess I just chose the wrong search criterea, but when the pressures on! I've got it in favourites now anyway.

Tip = If you often take your laptop with you in the van, spend a few minutes saving all the HTML pages for areas you usually visit ( or ALL of them ) from the website g60steve posted ( as quoted above ) - that way when you need to find an LPG station you don't need to actually go "online" to view and use the website

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For those unsure how to do this =

Get the webpage you want to save on your screen.

Then

For the Firefox web browser = go to top left of your screen where it says "File", choose "Save Page As" and save as file type = "website complete" to a suitable folder.

For the Internet Explorer web browser = The same but choose "Save As" and save as file type = "website complete" to a suitable folder.note = if you have not got the "File" bit at the top left, go to "Tools" and tick the "Menu bar" option and they will appear.

To use the maps when not on the Internet, just go to the folder you saved them in and click on the relevant file that is named for the area you want. (Don't go into the FOLDERS that have the right area name, that is where all the complicted stuff is hiding) !!

Phew - I should be a teacher...

Or if you take your laptop with you, and you have a copy of microsoft autoroute, then down load the LPG filling station POI to it, buy a bluetooth dongle and satnav receiver and bobs your uncle

I think what I actually need to do is fix it so it runs on petrol

Another job on the list. Fortuantely there were 2 on the A64 opposite each other just past Tadcaster so I was able to fill up. A bit scary having a van with a travelling distance of 180km and only running on LPG.
I keep meaning to look into putting sat nav on my laptop, but I think I need GPS dongley type things as well as the sat nav programme.
