Fig. 11-2 LP GAS FILLER
Simply open the baggage door, and fill the container
via the fill-in valve as indicated on the container.
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
WARNING
1. Never overfill the LP gas tank. Make sure your
vehicle is level when filling the tank.
2. Make sure all pilot lights are OFF before refuelling
any of the gas tanks on your motorhome.
3. Do not smoke or have any open flame in the area
where refuelling is taking place.
4. When testing for leaks in the LP system use a soap
and water solution. Never use an open flame to test
for leaks.
5. Never fill the LP tank when either the engine or the
generator is running.
6. Keep all protective covers and caps in place.
WARNING
Shut off all pilot lights and the control valve on the
LP gas container when filling the container and
during travel. Always refill empty LP gas container
as soon as possible.
Do not overfill your LP gas container. Stop filling
when liquid appears at the overflow valve. (often
called a 10% valve) which contacts the liquid level
at 80% of container capacity allowing 20% for
expansion.
Check after each filling by opening the overflow
valve and bleed gas in well-ventilated area until
white liquid stops. Overfilling may cause damage
to regulator and cause malfunction of LP gas
appliances.
The tank is permanently mounted to the motorhome
frame. Therefore the vehicle must be taken to a
fuelling station to be filled. When the liquid LP gas
appears at the overflow valve, the tank is full.
LP gas stations are found in all parts of the country.
Check the Yellow pages in your telephone book if
you have trouble finding a station. Look under
“Gas-Liquefied Petroleum-Bottled and Bulk” or
”Propane”.
Remind the service attendant to use the 80%
overflow valve when refuelling. Space must be
left in the tank for vaporization and expansion.
Never carry LP or any other flammable liquid
containers in your motorhome. Gases may
inadvertently be discharged into the room which
could result in fire or explosion.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
The LP tank has an automatic 80%
stop-fill device to prevent over filling
of the tank.
