LPG in France
Prospectively going to visit our French cousins next month, do they have the same filling pumps as us over here, or do i need some sort of adapter?
Also whats the cost of LPG and availability like en france?

Went to Monte Carlo last year in our c70 LPG.
LPG readily available on main auto route, though not cheap. We went mainly off motorways, through Alps, gas on. Those routes a lot cheaper. As per Uk suppose |

You need an adapter which comes with the factory conversion. The french pumps are easier to use than ours in my opinion.
About every 3rd station on the autoroutes sells it, and it well signed what they stock a few km before the services. Be warned though that it is quite expensive - It was around 95 cents/litre last time I was across in December 2012. |

The OP doesn't mention if he has factory fit bi-fuel or aftermarket conversion. The eBay link above should be fine for the latter.
