Quite simple. Change the regulator at the gas bottle. £6-8 max

Depends on the age of your van ,pre 2004 you need a 37mb regulator to fit on the bottle ,post 2004 you should be on propane already but if not , you need a gas pigtail connection ( hose ) from the bottle to the built-in regulator on the van

If you know how to, post a photo of your gas locker without the bottles showing the regulators.
