Question for the European Moomba owners

European Moomba Owners...

Can you find this product easily (Markill Valve Cartridge Adapter) ?....

http://store.securehosting.com/stores/sh205601/shophome.php?itemkeyw_%25%25=markhill

I need the adapter to convert Bluett Camping Gaz cannisters to the standard screw thread cannisters.

If you know of a store with a web site who will ship the product to the U.S., please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks much for trying Joe.

The one you found is for punture type fuel cannisters.

I'm looking for the Markill VALVE Cannister Adapter for CV270 and CV470 cans.

why would I look for forklift / towmotor parts?

[Dave A]

Why is it called a Towmotor? No one here can answer that question and I've been asking it for 10 yrs.

[Buttafewcoe]

Ed,
.
Because the ones that work indoors run on LP gas and use similar tanks and fittings?
.
You might check an RV parts place, also.
.
Just trying to give you some ideas, old man.

Dave,
First time I heard you ax the question.... Towmotor is actually a brand name like Hyster, Clark, etc. Towmotor still calls their equipment forklifts. I guess it depends on wot part of the country you're from.
:)

Hope this helps

Oh, ok. I getcha.

A typical backpacking stove cannister (butane/propane mixture) only holds 220g of fuel and is only about 3.5" in diameter and 3" in height.

I think the regulator/valve on a 20lb forklift LP tank may be a wee bit large.

It might work very well for the typical patio grill :)

Pretty sure they sell diff kinds of plumbing adapters.

Butta, "old man":

Thank you for the suggestions and I do appreciate you trying to help.

Big thanks to the European brother(s) who have answered my call for help...you got a friend (who lives on a chain of lakes) in the Orlando, Florida area and one who owes you a favor :)
