LIQ,UEFIED
PETROLEUM
GAS SYSTEM
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas
is
the
energy
source
for
your
range, oven, furnace,
and
water heater. It
is
also an
aternate
power
source
for
your
LP
Gas/Electric refrigerator.,
LP
gas
is
a colorless gas,
but
is
stored
u'nder pressure
as
a
liquid. It
is
commercially available
under
such names as
Butane,
Propane,
or
other
brand names.
Though
odorless
in
a natural
state,
LP
gas
is
always
odorized
to
smell
I,ike
garlic
for easy
detection
in
the
event
of
a leak.
The
gas and
the
liquid
tank
in
which it
is
stored
are safe ar j
convenient,
provided sensible
precautions
arefollowec.
USING LP GAS SYSTEM AT
LOW
TEMPERATURES
Your
gas system will
function
well
at
low
temperatures,
pro·
yided
the
components
are
kept
at
a
temperature
above
the
boiling
point
of
the
gas.
NOTE: Butane
turns
to
a
gas
at
about
32
degrees F
and
propane
vaporizes
at
about
-
40
degrees F.
Follc·.v
these
suggestions
to
keep gas appliances working
smoothly:
1. Choose a
type
of
LP
gas which has a boiling
point
lower
than
any
temperature
you
expect
to
encounter.
Ask
your
LP
gas supplier
or
your
motor
home
dealer
for
information
on
products
available
in
your
area.
2.
If
outside
temperatures
get below
the
boiling
point
of
the
LP
gas in
your
system, keep
exposed
area (such
as
the
tank,
regulator
and lines)
at
a higher
temperature
with a
protective
cover.
,3.
Keep
the
system 'free from
water
vapor
(which
may
turn
to
ice
in
lines and regulators).
NOTE: During low
temperature
winter
use
methyl
alcohol may
be
added
to
prevent
freeze·up.
Ask
your
LP
gas supplier
or
your
motor
home
dealer.
If,
despite
precaution,
the
gas
flow
to
four appliance
should
fail
at
low
temperatures,
the
stoppage
ma"
be
due
to
ice,
in
the
LP
gas regulator
as
a result
of
condensed
moisture.
Try melting
the
ice by warming
the
regulator, using a small light
bulb
on
an
extension
cord
- NOT
AN
OPEN FLAME.
Once
flow
is
restored,
make
certain
that
regulator cap
is
properly
installed
to
prevent
water
from entering
the
regulator which will cause
it
to
freeze again.
If
the
problem persists, ask
your
LP
gas
supplier
to
service
the
tank
or
regulator, removing
the
moisture
or
adding an ice-inhibitor
as
required.
FILLING THE CHASSIS·MOUNTED LP GAS TANK
To
fill
the
chassis-mounted storage
tank,
drive
the
vehicle
to
an
LP
gas supplier
or
one
of
the
service
stations
which sell
LP
gas. Look
under
Gas, Liquefied Petroleum,
Bottled
and
Bulk,
