Fuel System Safety
Be extremely careful when fueling your motorhome.
Always shut OFF the engine, do not smoke, do not use
cellular phones, and shut OFF all pilot lights before adding
fuel. Fuel spills represent a serious re hazard, and should
be cleaned up immediately. Never restart the engine or
relight pilot lights while fuel vapor is present.
In cold weather conditions or when your motorhome has
not been used for a while, a fuel additive (customer sup-
plied) may be needed. Refer to the chassis manufacturers
recommendations for fuel additives.
Fuel Transfer System (if equipped)
Potentially explosive fuel vapor may be present at fuel
lling stations and during refueling of equipment with
the fuel transfer system.
Never enter a fuel lling station or refuel equipment
if your furnace or water heater is operating or if your
refrigerator is operating on propane. Both the ame
and the igniters in the burners of these appliances are
sources of ignition, and could cause an explosion.
These appliances must be turned OFF before entering a
fuel lling station or refueling equipment. Turning OFF
the propane main tank valve only is not sufcient. The
appliances must be OFF at their electrical operating
switches.
DANGERDANGER
NO SMOKING
Before dispensing fuel, turn off all engines, fuel-
burning appliances, and their igniters (see operating
instructions).
Do not dispense fuel within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of an
ignition source.
Can cause ignition of ammable vapors, which can
lead to a re or explosion and result in death or serious
injury.
DANGERDANGER
All pilot lights, appliances, and their igniters (see
operating instructions) shall be turned off before
refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers.
Can cause ignition of ammable vapors, which can
lead to a re or explosion and result in death or serious
injury.
DANGERDANGER
Flammable clean up materials should be temporarily
stored in a nonammable, vapor-tight container
until proper disposal facilities are available. Do not
store ammable clean up rags or materials inside
the motorhome, inside any other vehicle or near any
source of ame or ignition.
WARNINGWARNING
Vehicles and equipment powered by internal
combustion engines and placed in recreation vehicles
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation,
which could result in death or serious injury.
The ammable liquids used to power these items can
cause a re or explosion, which can result in death or
serious injury.
TO REDUCE RISK:
1. Do not ride in the vehicle storage area when
vehicles are present.
2. Do not sleep in the vehicle storage area when
vehicles are present.
3. Close doors and windows in walls of separation (if
installed) when any vehicle is present.
4. Run fuel out of engines or stored vehicles after
shutting off fuel at the tank.
5. Do not store, transport, or dispense fuel inside this
vehicle.
6. Open the windows, openings, or air ventilation
systems provided for venting the transportation
area when vehicles are present.
7. Do not operate propane appliances, pilot lights, or
electrical equipment when motorized vehicles are
present.
DANGERDANGER
Depending upon model and chassis, TMC Class A
and Class C Motorhomes may be equipped with either
gasoline or diesel-fueled engines. Always be sure
to fuel your motorhome with the correct petroleum
products.
