As far as im aware you just need to change the regulator to a pigtail version, that should the work, Just check the bottle fits in your front locker aswell

A 2008 UK van should have a bulkhead mounted 30 mB regulator suitable for both butane and propane, though BP-Lights are filled with propane anyway.
They connect with a 27 mm clip-on adaptor. like this:

http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/Gaslow_27mm_Clip-On_Adaptor.html?gclid=CLiz58_WlMYCFa3LtAodyyEAVA

This connects to the regulator with a "butane type" pig tail, that you might already have connected at present to your Propane adaptor.

BP gas lite uses a 27mm clip fitting. If previous bottle was Calor propane and you have bulkhead regulator then you need pol to 27mm clip adaptor. If you cannot get adaptor then new 27mm clip pigtail required.
