By reducer I meant converter, but it is called reducer as it reduces the
presure from 9 BAR down to 1 bar ish. Anyway interesting suggestion in
regards to warming up the tank.

I don't like the idea of warming up the whole tank very much, just gut
feeling. I'd be more inclined to use warm air from the engine to pass
through a tube around which a coil of copper connected to tank and
reducer was wound and soldered. With a small induced draught fan and a
thermostatic switch controlling it.

The only problem with that is that it is highly unlikely to work. At
least, not with a ca. 1.8l engine powering a ca. 1.5 tonne van at
typical speeds. You need to transfer a lot of heat.
Try looking for the VW Camper Club A number of people have converted
them to LPG. When I was first involved with LPG conversions we had some
conversations with them. At the time Groot - a Dutch manufacturer
actually produced a regulator specifically for air cooled vehicles. I
believe it was then withdrawn - may even have been banned in Holland,
can't remember the full details involved
