Derek Uzzell Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Kevin It’s commonly referred to as a “Euro Nozzle” or “Euro Connector”. http://www.euronozzle.com/core.php?cId=50&csId=7&setLanguage=2 It was originally designed with an integrated non-return valve that closed when the autogas pump’s delivery-gun was disconnected and prevented gas vapours escaping into the air. This adapter was quite expensive to buy and cheaper versions do without the valve.For example:- http://www.autogasshop.co.uk/autogaslpg-euro-nozzle-connector-filler-adapter-x28no-one-way-valvex29-804-p.asp This webpage may be of interest http://www.mylpg.eu/adapters (I understand that new LPG pumps in Switzerland have ‘Euro Nozzle’ delivery-guns.)

sheer lunar-see Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi Kevin, whilst in spain this winter, we found that all the garages we got L.p.g from lent us the adaptor, as we found that we had mislaid our spanish one, so don't worry too much.

What I've found when using the Spanish adaptor is that when you release the pistol no vapour escapes....it just waits until you unscrew the adaptor and out in comes with the typical whoosh. So that's an idea that doesn't work as intended. Perhaps it's just a bit less vapour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Autogas is primarlily intended to fuel vehicles, not refill leisure-vehicle LPG canisters. This video-clip details Euronozzle usage and the comparison between using the Euronozzle and a ‘traditional’ type of connector shows the difference in LPG vapour-loss at disconnection. It should also be evident that connection/disconnection with the Euronozzle system is very simple and - in principle at least - fool-proof. I assume (because I’ve no practical experience of refilling bi-fuel vehicles with autogas) that a vehicle’s filling system has a non-return valve at the filling-point and, once the pump-gun has been disconnected from the filling adapter, that the adapter can be removed from the filling-point with minimal loss of gas. My motorhome has a Gaslow Direct Fill canister that is refilled via an adapter screwed on to the canister’s inlet. http://www.gaslowdirect.com/Gaslow-Direct-Fill-Adapter Disconnecting from this adapter will inevitably cause some gas to be lost, whereas if a Euronozzle (with integrated non-return valve) were attached to the adapter there should be no gas loss at disconnection. Besides environmental considerations, the simplicity of the system is attractive.
