Liquid Propane Gas System
Warning
Danger
Do NOT smoke when refueling. Keep ames,
sparks, and smoking material away from
fuel or ammable fumes.
● Never overll the LP gas tank. Make
sure your motorhome is level when
lling the tank.
● Make sure all pilot lights are off before
refueling any of the gas tanks on your
motorhome.
● Do not smoke or have any open ame in
the area where refueling is taking place.
● Use a soap and water solution to test
for leaks in the LP gas system.
● Never use an open ame to test for
leaks.
● Never ll the LP gas tank when either
the engine or the generator is running.
● Keep all protective covers and caps in
place.
Never carry LP gas or any other ammable
liquid containers inside the living or
driving areas of your motorhome. Gases
may inadvertently be discharged into the
conned space which could result in re,
asphyxiation, or explosion.
Remind the service attendant to use the
80% overow valve when refueling. Space
must be left in the tank for vaporization and
expansion to occur.
After relling the LP gas tank
1. Periodically check all container and line
connections to be sure they are tight. Use
soapy water when testing for leaks—do
NOT use an open ame.
2. If you notice diesel or LP gas fumes at any
time, immediately determine and correct the
source of the problem.
3. Before opening the LP gas control valve
in the exterior utility center, check that
controls for all gas appliances are in the
“OFF” position. An accumulation of LP gas
inside the motorhome could create a re or
explosion hazard.
4. Remember, LP gas is potentially lethal if
inhaled.
Air in the LP Gas Tank
If your LP gas appliances burn poorly or do not
stay lit even though there is a sufcient fuel
supply, there may be air trapped in the LP gas
tank. The air should eventually escape along
with the LP gas, but it may be necessary to
have your LP gas tank purged of air by your LP
gas dealer.
