indicate when
the
tank
is filled to the proper limit by appearance of
liquid
replacing vapor.
At
all
other times,
the
overfill valve should
be
tightly closed
by
hand
only.
The
main
valve
on the
L.P.-gas
container should
be
tightened
by
hand only
using
caufion not to over-tighten. The valve is designed
to
satisfactorily
close
with only
a
reasonable amount
of
tightening.
Continual over-tightening
wilB
eventually damage the valve and
will
require its replacement.
When
E.P.-gas containers are filled to
the
proper
level
there
is
available
space for safe expansion of
the
vaporized liquid.
If
your
tank
becomes overfilled and
is
not allowed
is
"bleed
off"
before
installation
with
the
R.V.
system, it may gain pressure
due
to
exposure to
hot
sun
rays
and will begin
"blowing
off
pressure
from
the relief valve.
This
can
be
detected
by
the
strong
odor
around tanks. Keep open
flames
away from
this
area.
It
is best to
remove the bottle, take
it
to
a
safe
area, and "bleed
off"
the
excess pressure
by
opening
the
valve and closing it when discharge
has been suffkient.
Handle
your
L.P.-tanks
with
care.
Note
that
when disconnecting,
you must turn the
wrench
in
a clockwise direction because
the
connection utilizes
left
hand
threads. When reconnecting, turn
wrench counter ciockwise.
When
tightening, only "snug-up"
-
avoid over-tightening.
The
tank
must
be
in
an
upright position at
all rimes.

When a E.P.-tank

is
a
concentration
of

After
