To fill the .chassis-mounted storage tank, drive the vehicle to
an
LP gas supplier
or
a service station which sells LP gas.
Do not attempt to fill the tank yourself.
WARNING
Do
not fill
LP
gas contain-
ers
to
more than
80%
capacity. Overfilling
can
result
in
uncontrolled gas
flow which
can
cause fire
and
explosion. A properly
filled
container holds
about 80% of its volume
as
liquid.
The smell
of
LP Gas (actually, an additive, Ethyl Mercaptan)
indicates a leak.
Obvious leak sources are fittings, valves and
couplings.
For your safety, check for leaks in your gas system each time
the tank is filled and before each trip. Always check the sys-
tem any time you detect a garlic-like odor. Listen for a sus-
tained hiss or hum when you turn the gas on. This may indi-
cate a leak.
The first time you have your
LP tank filled, have the service-
man bleed a little
LP gas out
of
the small outage valve (this
also lets you check that the bottle is not overfilled) and note
the odor for future reference. A small number
of
people can-
not smell this odor;
if
you are one
of
these you must take
extra care in checking for leaks,
as
well as whenever you use
LP gas appliances.
