Vehicle ventilation?
Just having a little nosey around the forum there and was reading the "fridgies van explodes" thread. Where does the law stand in the UK about ventilation in vehicles carrying gasses?. I currently have a transit van carrying refrigerants, mapp gas, and the little superfire brazing kit, and a bottle of R1270, with a sticker applied to the back door saying "Caution this vehicle has no ventilation open with care". Should this by law have roof and floor ventilation?.

.
It's quite clear if you know where to look.
I can forward you a pdf with guidance from
BGCA (do a search) and it explains it in very simple terms.
Basically you work to a points system
the gasses in your vehicle are multiplied
by the value on the warning diamond and if the value
is less than a 1000 for compressed gasses or 333 for
flammable gasses you don't need to worry regarding the ADR laws.
