11.7 AIR IN THE LP TANK
If your LP appliances burn poorly or do not stay lit even though you are sure you have plenty of fuel, you may have air trapped
in the tank. The air will eventually escape along with the LP gas but it may be necessary that you have your tank purged of
air by the LP gas dealer.
11.8 TRAVELLING LP GAS
In some jurisdictions it is illegal to transport LP gas on certain roads or through tunnels. Check state or provincial regulations
to make sure your trip will not be halted or impeded unexpectedly as a result.
11.9 REGULATOR
The LP tank regulator has a plastic cover to protect it from the weather. This should never be removed except by qualied
service personnel.
The pressure regulator has a vent hole on the underneath side. Make sure this vent hole is open and not obstructed in any
way.
During freezing weather it may happen that a regulator may freeze up. This results from a small amount of moisture in the
fuel even though every precaution is taken by gas dealers to prevent this from happening. To help avoid this situation, keep
the control valve closed when not in use even when the tank is empty. This helps prevent condensation from forming. Hold
a light bulb near the regulator to thaw it.
If moisture in the tank is a recurring problem, you may ask your LP gas dealer to inject a small amount of methyl alcohol into
the tank to absorb the moisture. Liquid Petroleum vaporizes quickly and easily at warmer temperatures. Under cold condi-
tions this process slows down dramatically. When large amounts of fuel are required when using the furnace, for example,
the fuel may not vaporize rapidly enough to keep all the appliances going at a high level. In this case you may have to reduce
the consumption of fuel by lowering the temperature setting on the furnace, reduce the consumption of hot water, turn up
the temperature setting on your refrigerator or switch from LP to electric where possible.
The regulator is preset. Do not attempt to adjust it. This should only be done by an authorized service outlet. The regulator
should not be exposed to the elements.
If the LP gas components malfunction the possible cause could be:
1. The LP gas container may be overlled.
2. There may be impurities in the propane.
3. The LP Regulator could be defective.
Do not use an open ame or a heat lamp to thaw out
regulator.
