Filling should always be done by a qualified
service attendant.
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”.
The tank is permanently mounted to the
motorhome frame. Therefore the vehicle must be
taken to a fuelling station to be filled. Simply open
the baggage door, and fill the container via the fill-in
valve as indicated on the container.
Shut off all pilot lights and the control valve on
the LP gas container when filling the container.
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, this
indicates that the tank is full, 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 appli-
ances.
1. Never overfill the LP gas tank.
2. Make sure your vehicle is level when filling the tank.
3. Make sure all pilot lights are OFF before refuelling any
of the gas tanks on your motorhome.
4. Do not smoke or have any open flame in the area
where refuelling is taking place.
5. When testing for leaks in the LP system use a soap
and water solution. Never use an open flame to test
for leaks.
6. Never fill the LP tank when either the engine or the
generator is running.
7. Keep all protective covers and caps in place.
WARNING
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.
