OPD Propane Tanks

[svdate]

Hello,

Does anyone know whether -- to the extent propane is available in the Med -- it makes a difference if your tank has an OPD valve? Will filling stations refuse to fill your North American tank because is has the old-style, non-OPD valve?

Many thanks,

Greetings, and welcome aboard Shirish.

European propane/butane fittings are different from N.A. Generally, and Europe doesn’t have refilling stations, (instead they trade tanks, as in the Rhino exchange Propane program in US Grocery stores).
