indicate when the tank
is
filled to the proper limit by appearance of
liquid
replacing vapor.
At
all
other
times, the overfrll valve should
be tightly closed by hand only.
The main valve on the
L.P.-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.
Continual over-tightening
will
eventually damage the valve and will
require its replacement.
When
L.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 dlowed to "bleed
off"
before
installation with the
R.V.
system,
it
ma::
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 sufficient.
Handle your
L.P.-tarnks
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 clockwise. When tightening,
only
"snug-up"
-
avoid over-tightening.
The
tank must
be
in
an upright position
a.t
all
times.
CAUTION:
If
you
have
double
bottles
on
your
R.V.,
we
only one
at
a
time.
Otherwise
the
gas
suppBy
will
be

If
you
travel alternately on wet roads
and
in
freezing weather, be
sure
your L.P.-gas regulator is protected from road spray.
If
water
enters the vent in the regulator it may freeze the pressure
controlling diaphragm in the
open
position to that the container
pressure is applied
to
the
appliances
-
a
hazardous condition.
Follow the instructions given
by
the manufacturer of the regulator.

When
a
1I.P.-tank gets low, sometimes there
is
a concentration of
garlic-like odor
which
may
be mistaken for a gas leak. After
a
changeover to a full tank, the odor usually will
soon
disappear.
