Hi,

OK. if you have a smartphone there are all manner.of free apps. We use when travelling.

The closest would be on the road from Vera to Garrucha. Its the one on the LH side which appears to have been segregated by the roadworks. 24/7.

Then there's Caravanas Lorca on the poligono off the autovia outside Puerto Lumbreras but business hours only.

Saludos,

Bob and Sandra

I have googled auto gas stations but I am not sure that I am not getting bottled gas suppliers.

Have you seen the actual gas pump Bob?

On.smartphone apps

FillLPG. Or

Ecomotori.

The servo also has a Repsol.bottle exchange.

We use these for the motorhome to fill our on-board system.

Up to you but I wouldn't advise otherwise.

I think there is one in Vera and there is certainly one of the Autovia mediterraneo, exit previous to Los Gallardos ( Ithink) direction Almeria.

There is one Repsol I think, on the road from San Juan DLT to Vera, coast road, next to where there is a motorhome park-up compound with services etc.

I'd run on petrol in the summer months - LPG always runs a lot hotter than petrol and it's just too hot for it here in the summer potential to overheat and catch fire.....

NB - unless you've had an uprated radiator etc fitted that is

Likewise air cooled cars just cannot cope, bloke in our village is on his 3rd VW beetle engine.....

Thanks Chris. We wanted it for our Fifth Wheel Motorhome. It has an on board tank that can be filled at the pump. All sorted now :)
