shaggy Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Motorhome catches fire on a shell petrol station forecourt at Fontwell near Chichester. No one injured thankfully, I only hope gas wasn't involved, that's would be all we would need for Shell to stop allowing motorhomes to fill with LPG. https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2019-05-06/petrol-station-on-fire-in-sussex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 LPG is (apparently) not sold at the Shell service-station where the fire occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Fan Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It does seem apparent that the forecourt does indeed sell Autogas. If you watch the video at the bottom of the report referenced by the OP, then you can clearly see the price of 63.9 on display. A quick look on Google streetview places the fire next to the Autogas pump. Coincidence? I can only hope along with the OP that LPG filling was not a factor in the fire.

Steve928 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Indeed, I've done the same research and the van is definitely alongside an autogas pump and probably a bit too far forward to be filling from the diesel pump before it. This picture shows the Autogas price as you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayjsj Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Had their fridge running on gas perhaps ? open flames and petrol station forecourts do not mix. Hope Motorhome Rental companies give thorough instructions to inexperienced renters ? all conjecture of course....but we could do without the probable aftermath.
