Hi there guys, currently running my boat on LPG and just wondering if this is an american fitting, as my local station (England) has a different connector?? Hence, i am unable to fill up with LPG!!

Danny, get in touch with Mark at The Skiboat Zone Oxford 01865 343332. Looks like you just need a set of adapters. Keep them in the boat and your sorted.

I don’t think LPG is even used in the US its CNG and even that’s a rarity.

LPG aka propane is used all the time in the US. Lets you drive in the commute lane with just one person in the car.

Yes that is a US fitting, and Adam is right about the adapter.

Let us know how it runs once weighted please.

Peter it was full when i picked the boat up and it runs wicked on the gas!! Very, very slight smell when your riding but the boat, staticially is faster and more powerful on the gas!! (Not sure if that is true) but the difference is so minimal you would never notice!!! Just lacking a bit in space in the rear now!!

I think a French nozzle will work on this fitting.
Runs the Malibu in your Profile on LPG?

Yea the Malibu VLX i have runs on LPG or fuel!! LPG is like a third of the price of fuel and it runs just as good!!
