7.8 REFUELLING
Always consult your chassis manual to determine
whether your motorhome requires gasoline or diesel
for the chassis engine.
FUEL CAP
1. Removing The Fuel Cap:
Rotate the fuel cap slowly and only far enough for
the pressure to be released i.e. until any “hissing”
sound stops. Then remove the cap.
2. Filling The Tank:
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fill only until the
automatic shut-off valve cuts out. This allows for
expansion of the fuel and vapor space as the fuel
warms up in your fuel tank.
CAUTION
Overfilling the fuel tank may cause damage to
the fuel evaporative emission system.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to use the proper fuel. Errors in the fuel type
can be hazardous and can create costly repairs.
3. Fuel Tank Capacity:
4. Fuel Types:
Auxiliary generators draw their fuel from the
main engine gasoline tank. The fuel pick-up
tube is shorter than the engine pick-up tube.
This prevents the vehicle fuel tank from being
completely emptied on site.
Motorhomes equipped with a diesel engine
have a separate fuel tank to provide gasoline
for the generator.
CAUTION
In northern climates during the winter season,
winter diesel fuel must be used to prevent fuel
gelling. Gelling could cause the engine to stop
or make it impossible to start.
Modern fuel systems may cause pressure to build
up in the fuel tank during hot weather. It may
happen under certain conditions, that a bit of fuel
may spray from the spout when the fuel cap is
removed suddenly, causing a possible hazard.
WARNING
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
