[WARNING] For passenger
safety, Blue Bird recommends all
occupants disembark to a safety
zone before fuel filling procedures
take place.
[WARNING] Technicians work-
ing with, or around, fuel systems
should be properly trained to
utilize extreme care and caution
at all times. Failure to exercise
extreme caution and care may
lead to serious accidents which
can result in property damage,
personal injury and/or death.
Propane Powered Motor Vehicle Filling Procedures
1. Entering the propane fueling station.
1.1 Park the vehicle in close proximity to the motor fuel dispensing station.
[WARNING] NO SMOKING ALLOWED.
2. Turn off and remove the vehicle ignition key.
3. Exit the vehicle and ask all passengers to step outside the vehicle.
3.1 Some stations may ask all passengers to stand outside the area where
the fill process is taking place.
3.2 Some stations could be self-service and the driver would perform the
filling process; however in this case the driver has to be trained and cer-
tified to obtain an authorized filling station dispenser access card.
4. The attendant may need to inspect the propane tank for corrosion, dents and
verify the data plate displays the ASME stamp and other pertinent informa-
tion is correct. An attendant can refuse to fill your propane tank if it does not
pass this inspection. Regular inspection and maintenance of your tank will
prevent refusal to fill the tank.
5. Verify the meter is set to zero.
5.1 If the dispenser is an electronic dispenser it will set to zero automatically
once the transaction has been initiated.
