AlcoSense Excel Fuel Cell Breathalyser review
Our review of this multi award winning piece of equipment.
AlcoSense Excel Fuel Cell – Designed from the ground up by AlcoSense in the UK.
How often have you wondered whether you are legal to drive the morning after a social occasion? I certainly have! For us its quite usual to pull in after a day's driving, swivel the chairs round and crack open a beer. Maybe a glass of wine with dinner. Perhaps a little socialising with fellow motorhomers. Not every day you understand - But you only need to get it wrong once!
So with this in mind I was delighted to be asked to try one of these breathalysers and you can read how it went after a bit about the product:
Our refillable gas system
Our motorhome has 2 separate gas lockers, one on each side of the vehicle. This makes it more complicated to fit a legally conforming (in the UK) refillable system. Apparently UK gas regs only allow a maximum of 1.5m high pressure pipe run outside of a sealed and vented gas locker - not far enough to run between our cylinder locations.
So Gaslow/Gasit systems are not an option other than for individually refillable cylinders. these have to be out of the vehicle and standing on a forecourt to refill.
Another manufacturer/retailer in the UK is Safefill with their branded composite cylinders but again they apparently have to be out of the van to fill. I also understand that they do not advise a permanent fix with an external filler point.

So for us with a Spanish registered motorhome and spending most of our time outside the UK anyway, we explored what was available in Europe to avoid the requirement to fit in with the UK gas regs.
The system we settled on is marketed by Susocar and the cylinders are actually made by the same company as the Safefill ones - HPC Research Ltd in Czech Republic.
