Whenever the container is detached from the propane system, DO
NOT allow the cylinder to move or roll around during transportation
to and from the gas supplier.
A second smaller valve is built into the main valve to prevent fuel
from escaping. A hose with an acme fitting or a POL fitting must be
completely and tightly installed before gas vapor can be withdrawn.
This valve, also referred to as an OPD valve (overfill protection
device)
has a float device inside of the cylinder to prevent overfilling
of the container.
Servicing and Filling Propane Containers
Filling a propane container must be done carefully and correctly.
Only a qualified person, properly trained on inspection, filling and
safety procedures, should fill containers.
To remove the propane containers for refilling.
1. Remove the bottle covers ( if used ).
2. Close the main valve on the container.
3. Remove the two hoses at the ACME connection.
4. Install the rubber cap over the valve - ACME connection.
5. Remove/loosen the wing nut holding the clamp hook.
6. Remove the clamp hook.
7. Fill the bottle and reverse the procedure to install. Test all con-
nections for leakage.
A new container must be “purged” before placing into service and
must NEVER BE OVERFILLED. Purging is an operation performed
by your dealer or propane agency to remove any atmospheric air.
As an owner you need not be concerned regarding this procedure
unless you permit the valve to be in OPEN position when empty.
Two overfill devices are built into the valve to prevent overfilling of
the container. First, is the small brass “knob” or “screw” inside of the
valve. This “10% valve” must be open when filling, allowing air to
Your vehicle has exterior combustion air inlets. Appliance pilot lights should be turned off
during gasoline or propane refueling. (Required by law in some states.)
