If your tank becomes overfilled and is not allowed to “bleed off” before installation to the
RV system, it may gain pressure from exposure to direct sunlight and will begin “blowing
off” pressure from the overflow valve. This will be detected by the strong odor around
the tanks. Keep open flames away from this area. It is best to find a technician qualified
in releasing an overfill from the container. If that is not possible, remove the bottle, take
it to a safe area at least twenty-five feet from any source of combustion, and “bleed off”
the excess pressure by opening the valve slightly and closing it when discharge has been
sufficient, one to two minutes.
WARNING: LP gas containers are equipped with safety devices, which relieve
excess pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere. Do not bring or store
LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the recreational
vehicle. Disregarding this warning may result in fires or explosions.
When an LP container gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor
which may be mistaken for a gas leak. After a change over to a full tank, the odor usually
will disappear. If not, turn off the LP container(s) and have the system checked by a
qualified technician.
A warning label has been located near the LP gas container. This label reads:
THIS GAS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE OF
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT
NATURAL GAS TO THIS SYSTEM. DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Securely cap inlet(s) when not connected for use. After turning
on gas, except after normal container replacement, test gas
piping and connections to appliances for leakage with soapy
water or bubble solution. Do not use products that contain
ammonia or chlorine. AD-34
