Yes, indeed. Was just an idle thought. :y

Not sure it'd be worth the hassle/risk, and I think it would be a tad suspicious for a house with mains gas to be getting through one of those a week. ;)

Get a caravan............. ;) ;) :D

I've often wondered about houses that have lpg gas heating with the big green lpg tank out the back, and the feasibility of 'T-ing off' that tank to an lpg pump for the car.  :-\

Problem is, you need to take off liquid at high pressure and pump it into the car, rather than vapour at low pressure, so it needs to be from a different point on the tank. I'd say it'd be a challenge to do it without anyone noticing when it's time to fill the tank.

You can also add a fill point legitimately, but then it has to be god knows how many metres from the nearest building and you have to make a declaration and pay road fuel duty on whatever has gone in the car, at which point it becomes about the same price as at the garage (if not a lot more).
