Hi all,
Has anyone got any pros or cons for leaving the LPG gas bottle on the top of the 4WD while cooking ?
I have been told that you can and you can't do it. The can't do it said that the bottle has to be below the stove or it can damage to stove. The can do had never heard of this and said as long as the bottle always remains upright then there should be no issues.
We are using 9kg bottles, and while getting it up/down is not that much issue, I would rather leave it on top if possible.

Hi
John, I'am no expert, but the contents in your cylinder are actually a liquid and the appliance runs of the vapour. It would therefore seem to me that regardless what level the cylinder was in relation to the appliance it would only draw of vapour provided the cylinder was upright so all should be OK?
But....... gas is a pretty volatile product & therefore suggest you
check with your friendly LPG distributor. ( not the swap & go man at the Servo) Best of luck & cheers.
