UNITY MOTORHOME LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
AFTER REFILLING 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�
TRAVELLING WITH LP GAS
In some jurisdictions it is illegal to transport
LP Gas on certain roads or through tunnels.
Check state or provincial regulations to make
sure your trip will not be halted or impeded
unexpectedly as a result of transporting LP
Gas.
NOTICE
NOTICE
LP Gas stations are found in all parts of the country�
Check the yellow pages in your telephone book or
on-line if you have trouble nding a station. Look
under “Gas - Liquid Petroleum - Bottled and Bulk” or
“Propane.”
Do NOT smoke when refueling. Keep ames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel

engine or the generator is running.

place.
DANGER
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.
DANGER
• Never overll the LP Gas tank. Make sure
your motorhome is level when lling the
tank.

the area where refueling is taking place.
• Use a soap and water solution to test for
leaks in the LP Gas system.

left in the tank for vaporization and expansion
to occur.
