Tank Capacity
NOTE:
This chart reflects product specifications available at the time of printing. Floor plans
introduced thereafter may not be reflected in the chart. All other information con-
tained throughout the manual will still apply.
NOTE:
All tank capacities are estimated based upon calculations provided by the tank
manufacturers and represent approximate capacities. The actual "usable capacity"
may be greater or less then the estimated capacities based upon fabrication and
installation of the tanks.
Tank Filling
Woodall's Campground and Trailer Guide, and other similar publications, list refueling
stations. Many travel parks sell LP-Gas. Before filling the LP-Gas tank, shut off pilot lights,
appliances and igniters to prevent a fire or explosion. Have a trained service person fill
the LP-Gas tank.
The LP-Gas tank fill is located in the curbside compartment. If the tank is new and being
filled for the first time, inform the service technician to purge any air from the tank before
filling. When the tank is filled to the proper level, there is space available for the conversion
of liquid into gas. If a tank is over-filled, it may cause the safety valve to release pressure.
When this happens, a strong rotten egg odor near the tank and/or a hissing noise may be
detected.
LP-Gas exists in both liquid and vapor form within the 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 safety pressure relief device. The purpose of the safety valve is to release excess pres-
sure. When the tank is full, the gauge on the tank will only read ¾ full.
NOTE:
Actual full liquid capacity is 80% of full tank capacity.
CAUTION:
Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 200 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.
WARNING:
Extinguish all sources of heat, sparks, flames and smoking materials within a 50'
radius during the refueling process.
