Westy Lpg tank refilling help please!

Post by Other-Power »

Hello all,

I have been using my westy all summer and have just got to around 30% gas left in the tank,

I got the van with a full tank of gas.

I went to fill it up for the first time at a local station, screwed in the adapters from gassue and connected the pipe, held the button and gas just shot out. The lady behind the till tried and couldnt do it. Any body got any ideas what im doing wrong??? Thanks in advance
