LP-Gas Fuel Systems
LP-gas liquid withdrawal fuel systems typically oper-
ate at pressures that range as high as
200
psi (1379
kPa) when the ambient temperature is
110°F
(43.3"C). Because of the high pressures, special pre-
cautions must be taken to avoid releasing largequan-
tities of highly flammable LP-gas when servicing the
fuel system. Use the following procedure to purge the
fuel system of LP-gas before servicing any fuel sys-
tem components.
LP-Gas Purging Procedure:
To
purge the LP-gas
from the set fuel system, close the shut-off valve at
the fuel tank and then start the generator set. Allow
the generator set
to
operate until
it
runs
out
of
fuel.
Crank the set a few times after
it
stops to make sure
the fuel system is completely purged of all LP-gas
fuel.
If the generator set cannot be operated, move the
RV
coach to an outdoor location that is well ventilated
and is away from fire or flame. Disconnect both the
vehicle negative
(-)
battery cable and the generator
set negative
(-)
battery cable from their respective
battery terminals. Close the fuel shutoff valves at the
fuel tank for both the generator set fuel supply system
and the appliance (stove, heater, etc.) fuel supply
system. In addition, close the fuel shutoff valves at
each appliance.

CARBURETOR
INTAKE MANIFOLD
Slightlyopen the fuel line (flexiblesection) at thesole-
noid valve just enough to allow the LP-gas to slowfy
escape. Don't open the fitting too much or a large
quantity of gas will be released.
Disconnect the fuel supply hose from the carburetor
and hold
it
clear of the set. Press in and hold the primer
button on the regulator to release LP-gas from the set
fuel system. When no more gas can be heard escaping
from the open end of the fuel supply hose, reconnect
the hose to the carburetor and proceed to the approp-
riate component service station.
