... a lady neighbour called a little earlier saying about white smoke. She'd only just pulled up beside the old shed apparently. I had parked up about 3 hours before the lady had arrived.

By the time I had got down the stairs and out to the parking area there was no sign whatsoever of said smoke.

I have LPG with 2x45 litre tanks underslung either side of the vehicle and the smoke was coming from the opposite site of the filler screw-on valve which is about 2 thirds of the bus toward the back. I filled up about 60 miles ago.

I have no idea how long this smoke had been coming out and neither had the lady. I started the bus up and let her tick over for several minutes on gas and had another look ...... no sign, nothing.

I am not only completely baffled but also very worried.

Any ideas and advice of a plan of action would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your considerations

could well be steam.is your dalek cap holding pressure.my van used to look like one of the red arrows after a good run.turned out to be a nacked cap..

Isn't there a pressure relief on lpg tanks - could have got warm and vented causing fogging.

Unless it fills a LOT more than the 80% and got very very very hot......... Nope....

Could be that the filler pipe/connection has a leak... but 60 miles and 3+ hours would be a long time for it to still leak out...
