Question

I have an Alde 3010 fitted to my Motorhome. Propane or butane – what type of LPG (liquid petroleum gas) should I use?

Answer

Propane. Alde recommend the use of propane in all Alde systems within the UK.

BS 5482 Part 1 states, "For butane cylinders, satisfactory service might not be obtained at temperatures of less than 10 °C; the most suitable temperature range is from 13 to 30 °C. For temperatures less than 13 °C, the use of propane should be considered."

Propane will operate down to -42 °C and is more suitable for the British climate.
