Just bought Type 25 camper from sheffield that was converted by Gasure back in 2004. (1982, 2L air cooled, high-top camper conversion)

OMVL system, 66 litre Torroidal Tank (from Wiki description this is Open-Loop system).

3 q's:

• You can adjust gas flow - was kinda shown but didn't really take in and not v. well documented, how/when/why do this?
  
  From cut out of LPG (i.e. empty) I have only ever been able t fill with 56 litres of LPG, not 66 - is this normal/OK/typical?
  
  What unleaded fuel shold I run with the system when LPG is out? Super-unleaded, normal unleaded or use a fuel supplement wth either?
  

LOVING LPG tough - makes running a van cheaper than my old Polo

You should only ever be able to fill an LPG tank to some percentage that's not 100, but escapes me just now.....yours sounds about the same as ours have been.....

No supplement needed with unleaded.......

80% I believe

Chees for info guys - figured no additives were needed as used to run a 76 bus on unleaded OK, however what do they do/help with? Have some spare Lead replacement supplement from my polo (RIP) so figured i may as well use while have it...

So normal LPG OK - or super unleaded (saw thing in Wiki about sparkplug settings hence question)

hi there steve just had my conversion done last week by gasure and yes 55ltrs is right as i found out didnt ask why think its something to do with the pressure and dont put the additive in no need nate and super unleaded will be fine it is supposed to increase power but in your bus y7ou wont notice it so unleaded is fine also the adjusters from wot i understood wen steve told me is all to do with power and mpg depending on wot you like yourself me all about mpg as i dont travel fast anyhow give a shout out for STEVE8090 he will tell you everything you need to know about your systemk as he designed it great bloke and very helpful good luck!!

I believe that is smellies old bus !!!

show us more piccies

Hmmm - smellies? Bought it from Mary in Sheffield who bought it off her neighbour who loved it (quite evidently given the amazing condition it's in and it's going v. well and has a definite loving new owner - best history/documentation I've ever seen, only pain has been dodgy steering wheel botch replacement (another thread on that) which is now replaced with upside-down original...

Obviously a well-known van though!

Looking to put bed in upstairs and windows in too over summer - any tips on insulating a high top roof appreciated!

Aye it is Mark's (smellies) old van .. he sold it just before moving to cornwall ...

Its a nice bus .. he spent hours and hours wax oiling it

I can tell - it's got NO rust! Well - a speck where it was scratched and a dot on the bumper but really really solid - I'm about to try and treat those and keep it in good nick - any tips on keeping the wax oil going to maintain condition?

I definately owe Mark thanks on it - other owners are moving to Spain so fell into my hands and didn't need a second look! Used to have a 76 bay which i loved but sold to move to Mexico, wanted air-cooled and good condition and this one's a gem...

Still lacks a name though - but I'm def a loving owner.

No matter what you call it it will always be SMELLY .... hehehe do it still have the eberspacer in it ?

Yup - toasty warm dubbing! BIG change from the bay!

hehehe i fitted it
