6.6 PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM
Pressure Relief
THE PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM OPERATES AT PRESSURES UP TO 312 PSI (21.5 BAR). TO
MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE AND PERSONAL INJURY, RELIEVE THE PROPANE FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE (WHERE APPLICABLE) BEFORE SERVICING THE PROPANE FUEL
SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
To relieve propane fuel system pressure:
1. Close the manual shut-off valve on the propane fuel tank.
2. Start and run the vehicle until the engine stalls.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
RESIDUAL VAPOR PRESSURE WILL BE PRESENT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. ENSURE THE
WORK AREA IS WELL-VENTILATED BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY FUEL LINE.
Leak Test
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY TYPE TO CHECK FOR PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM
LEAKS.
Always inspect the propane fuel system for leaks after perform-
ing service. Check for leaks at the fittings of the serviced or
replaced component. Use a commercially available liquid leak
detector or an electronic leak detector. When using both meth-
ods, use the electronic leak detector first to avoid contamination
by the liquid leak detector.
