9.
Open the 80% bleeder valve only if required.
CleanFuel USA does not recommend using the
bleeder valve. Use of the valve in a low emission
fuel station is prohibited.
10.
Open the valve on the refueling nozzle.
11.
Turn the propane dispenser on to begin refuel-
ing.
12.
When the OPD stops the flow of fuel into the
tank, close the filling valve.
If use of the 80% bleeder valve is required, stop
filling when liquid from the bleeder appears in the
form of a white cloudy vapor.
13.
Turn the propane dispenser off.
CAUTION
Never overfill the propane fuel tank. Overfilling
the fuel tank can cause a dangerous condition,
resulting in serious injury and damage to the ve-
hicle.
After refueling, if a strong smell of propane per-
sists or if a hissing sound is heard, notify the
fuel station operator. Do not start the vehicle.
14.
Disconnect the filling nozzle from the tank fill
valve.
14.1
If necessary, first open the vent valve on
the nozzle, if so equipped, and release the
pressure from the valve for safety.
14.2
Rotate the filling nozzle connector coun-
terclockwise and remove it. Then return it
to the dispenser.
15.
Install the fuel cap.

Check for leaks on the fill valve and connecting
piping, and around the 80% bleeder valve.
17.
Ensure that all of the fuel tank valves are in the
fully-closed position.
Ametek Instrument Panel
The following information describes the Ametek in-
strument panel, used with liquid propane gas (LPG)
engines. The instrument panel is shown in
Fig. 19.4.
NOTE: The instrument panel is shown with a
standard U.S. speedometer, which shows miles
per hour (mph) more prominently than kilome-
ters per hour (km/h).
Message Display Center
The message display is a graphical, backlit, liquid
crystal display (LCD) that relays information to the
vehicle operator. The messages displayed include:
•
Odometer
•
Trip Odometer 1/Trip Odometer 2
•
Chassis Battery Voltage
•
Instantaneous Fuel Rate
•
Average Fuel Rate
•
Gear Attained Status
•
Transmission Temperature
•
Hour Meter
•
Boost Pressure
•
Engine Oil Pressure
•
Coolant Temperature
•
Fuel Level
•
Percent Engine Load
•
Engine RPM
During normal operation, the LCD displays the odom-
eter value and chassis battery voltage on the top
line, and driver selected parameters, such as the trip
odometer and fuel rate, on the second and third
lines.
Priority Messages
Priority messages (including warning messages) are
displayed in the LCD due to various inputs or data
messages. Unless noted otherwise, the priority mes-
sage will take over the whole screen, allowing mul-
tiple messages to be displayed in five second inter-
vals.
Self-Test
When the ignition is turned on, a required self-test
automatically begins. Gauge needles will reset to
zero during the self-test, and then immediately move
to the position dictated by the data received. During
this time, the warning lights, alarm (buzzer), and
driver display screen will also perform a self-test.
