LP GAS CONTA
The LP gas tank mounted on your vehicle contains LP fuel in liquid form
under pressure,
As fuel is used, vapor (LP gas) gasses from the top of the
tank through a dual-stage regulator whish reduces the pressure to about
6% ounces per square inch, Vapor at the low pressure is then transferred
through
the gas distribution lines for appliance use. You must keep the
regulator clean and dry. Its cover should remain in place, and its vent plac-
ed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
vehicle has exterior co
ets. Appliance
be Burned off during
gas refueling.
(Required by law in some states.)
Local regulations s~metimes require cylinders be removed from the RV
for refdiing. A relief valve is incowrated on all tanks for safety. %is valve
is
noamaHy opened during fillings and will indicate when the tank is filled
to [he proper limit by appearance af liquid replacing vapor. At ail other
rimes, the overfill valve
should be tightly dosed by hand only.
The main valve on the LP gas container should be tightened by hand only
using caution not to over-tighten. The valve is designed to satisfactorily
close
with only a reasonable amount of tightening. Conthud over-tightening
w311 eventually damage the valve and will require its replacement.
When
LP gas containers are filled to the proper level there is availabk space
for safe expamion
of the vaporized liquid. If your rank becomes overfilled
and
is not allowed to "bleed off" before installation with the RV system,
it may gain pressure due to exposure to hot sun rays and will begin "blow-
ing off" presswe from the relief valve, This can be detested by the strong
odor around tanks. Keep open flames away from this area. It is best to
remove the boale, take it to a safe area, md "'bleed off'' the excess pressure
by opening the valve and closing it when discharge has been sufficient.
Handle your LP &inks with care. Note that when disconnecting, you must
turn she wrench in a cl~ckwise direction because she connection utilizes
%eft hand threads. Men reconnecting,
turn wrench counterclockwise. When
tightening, only "snug-up?' - avoid wes-tightening. The tanks must be
in an upright position at all rimes.
