Hey folks, i've found that my expansion tank is just above the Min mark. Recently when the vans been driven and reached running temp it cuts out, i wait abit, then it starts fine. This is on LPG. Obviously i need to top it up but where too? and could this be why i'm cutting out??

There's a "MAX" line just below the cap level. To all practical intents and purposes, just do it to the cap.

No.
BTW, we're talking about the expansion tank, right - the one inside the catflap - not the header tank - the one with the dalek on top? That should be brim-full, with the expansion tank keeping it that way.

Header Tank, dalek top i mean. Only has a Min line on mine. Top up tank behind Reg flap is at a constant Max.

The header tank doesn't usually have any markings on it as it should be brim-full at all times ... the top-up tank behind the cat flap should be on 'Max' unless switching the engine off after a run when it may/should be over that mark.
