LP-Gas exists in both the liquid and vapor state within the LP-Gas tank. A
“Full” tank is approximately 80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are required to be equipped with a
pressure relief device. The purpose of the relief valve is to release gas or liquid
caused by overpressurization. The gauge at the tank, when full, will only read
3/4. The monitor panel is adjusted to indicate FULL at this point.
If you are storing portable LP-Gas tanks (do not transport or store LP-Gas
tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the motorhome) that are not
connected to an LP-Gas system. Install an approved plug in the tank outlet
holes to prevent leaks.
WARNING: Do not store or transport empty LP-Gas tanks,
portable tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the
motorhome. Keep open flame and spark producing materials
away from the LP-Gas area. Shut off all appliances and LP-Gas
tank valve (located on side of LP-Gas tank underneath the
motorhome) when the motorhome is in storage. If this warning
is ignored a fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION: Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 300
psi when exposed to direct sunlight. A high pressure safety
relief valve will purge excess high pressure if necessary. LP-Gas
will stop vaporizing as the LP-Gas tank temperature
approaches -40º F. Appliances which consume large amounts
of LP-Gas, such as the water heater or furnace, will need to
be operated in sequence in extremely cold environments.
