> Can anyone tell me how to run my fridge (Electrolux) in my Syncro Westy
'87?

Ahhh.... I've never heard of an Electrolux fridge in the Westy...
The only ones I've heard of for the Vanagon Westy are the Dometic brand.

> All details welcome, including how long it goes for with how much
propoane,

The Dometic fridge will run for about 2 weeks on a full propane tank... but
it all depends on how high you set the thermostat, how hot the outside
temperature is, how much you open the fridge door, how much warm food you
put into the fridge, and last, but not least... how much propane you use to
cook with.

> or on battery etc.

depends on what battery you're talking about... the fridge uses about 7.5
amps per hour.... If you don't have an auxiliary battery then the fridge
will only run off the battery when the engine is running (the stock set up
has a cut off relay that disconnects the fridge fromthe starter battery when
the engine stops).

If you have an auxilary battery, then just divide the amp hour rating of the
battery by 7.5... but that calculation assumes that your battery is fully
charged and fresh.... so I would figure on getting less that the calculation
will yield... and be careful... if you take your battery to a deep discharge
you will either ruin it or greatly reduce it's life.

 How to start it?

Pray :)
(seriously... there are tombs written on this in the archives... or maybe
there is something at www.vanagon.com)

In the U.S. you can buy this water fill tubing at any motor home supply
store... quite cheep... but if you go to the dealer it will cost way too
much.
