I've just bought an LPG vehicle to supplement my Scoob. Has anybody got any advice on the best web site to use to find filling stations both locally and nationwide?

My father had Calor install a large white tank; it costs very little and you get a much better rate than at the pumps.
With regard to LPG retailers locations; a little time looking on Google will find plenty of lists; Id suggest looking at a Landrover and 4x4 magazine website as they were pioneers.

My father ran a Mondeo on LPG for a few years. He learnt to:
1: Fill up at industrial estate places selling LPG as it was a lot cheaper than forecourt prices.
2: If they have an above ground tank, fill up early in the morning as you get more gas for your money.

I have a map of the LPG stations somewhere, which I found on the web. Very good too, but tbh, you'll find that the majority of places around the UK'll have LPG anyway, as far as normal filling stations go - the shell, bp and more common ones & so on at least.
I drove from Liverpool to Aberdeen at regular intervals in a Range Rover on LPG, and anywhere I stopped (which was quite a lot, as the thing was bloody thirsty
) had gas - both motorway and in the country.
One reason it is worth getting a map or list with 'em on however, is that some places aren't actual petrol stations as such - there's one on the road to Aviemore from Aberdeen that has it, that's just a car garage, and they don't do petrol.
Generally speaking, use normal garages, but keep the list/map of the more obscure ones with you just in case. Less of a problem for a 'normal' car I recon, than something that does 14 to the gallon![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
This: http://www.lpga.co.uk/LPGA.htm is where I bought my map from - quite a useful site in fact
There's a list on there as well.
