damn they are strict on that stuff!!

Do 200tdis run on veg oil straight in the tank? Might go over in my 90 this year and it'll be cheaper on veg oil if it will take it.

They do, but not when cold and they are buggers to start as no in tank lift pump and expect a lower top end too

but you can carry as much as you can fit in the tank and take a few spares in the boot, I had 4 x 20 litres SVO in the boot and when searched they didn't say a word.

you're always better with EAS when travelling on the Eurostar as you can keep it locked low enough ride height, think a 90 might be too tall??

With the P38, if I brim the tank before I get on the ferry, it usually lasts while I'm in the UK

No chance when I had the Galloper.

No, but the space made available for caravans is limited, wouldn't want to pay the cost for a 44 ton artic

Check on it mate, its the shipping length they are interested in.

LGV's are carried on Freight Shuttles, caravans are carried on single deck carriages on non freight services.

Is that the overall length of car and caravan?
Cos thats got to be around 10 meters= 32ish foot

No its the length less than the A frame I think, should be given in your handbook. I think I could not use the tunnel is because of the height of my van 2.70 mts, it has A/C which puts it over the limit of 1.85 mts. Check on the length though, you might have to pay extra per metre over the maximum allowance.

Hi,

I'd like to know if one ever travelled to France in a P38 through Eurotunnel.

Thanks for the infos.

Regards

Florent

Be nice to see your modified P38 doing a little green laning while you're over here!

Check direct with Eurotunnel mate, they do show a height restriction but take bookings for caravans ????. I think the agent I was using got confused by the restrictions so booked me on the ferry.
