Gas used for domestic services

If travelling with a campervan, caravan or any other vehicle fitted with cooking facilities, any flammable gas container must be declared when asked and will be checked at the appropriate checkpoint by Eurotunnel Le Shuttle

Flammable gas containers may be transported with the following restrictions:

• For portable containers (cylinders/bottles, etc): Maximum of 47kg (or approximately 93 litres) per cylinder and no more than 50kg (or approximately 99 litres) per Vehicle if more than 1 container;
• For fixed containers (tanks): Maximum of 47kg (or approximately 93 litres) per container and no more than 50kg (or approximately 99 litres) per Vehicle if more than 1 container.
• Fixed containers must be no more than 80% full. The capacity of the container will be checked by Eurotunnel staff. The quantity will be checked via the gauge or remote indicator but if neither are present, the vehicle will be refused.

In all cases, transport of gas containers to power domestic services (e.g. cooking, lighting & heating, etc.) are restricted as outlined above.
