10.6 REFILLING LP TANK
The LP gas containers are located at the front of
the hitch frame for the trailer and in the front or side
compartment for the fifth wheel model.
To refill the propane tanks, simply attach to the fill
valve on the tank.
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.
TOPAZ
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
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.
IMPORTANT
The LP tank has an automatic 80%
stop-fill device to prevent over filling
of the tank.
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 trailer. Gases may inadvert-
ently be discharged into the room which could
result in fire or explosion.
LP gas stations are found in all parts of the country.
Check with the Yellow pages in your telephone book
if you have trouble finding a station. Look under
“Gas-Liquefied Petroleum-Bottled and Bulk” or
”Propane”.
