GAS SAFETY ADVICE
Facts about LPG
• LPG is not poisonous.
• LPG has been given a smell by manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
• Bi-products of combustion are harmless.
• There is danger if all air and oxygen are excluded, therefore ventilation holes must be kept
clear at all times.
PRECAUTIONS
a) Never look for a leak with a match. Always use a soap solution or its equivalent when testing
connections. Do not operate any electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially light switches. If
the leak is not obvious, the vehicle should be evacuated and qualified personnel consulted.
b) Avoid naked lights when re-fuelling.
c) LPG is more dense than air. Consequently any vapour may flow along the ground and into
drains, sinking to the lowest level of the surroundings and be ignited at a considerable
distance from the source of leakage. In still air the vapour will disperse slowly.
MAINTENANCE
The bulk tank installation requires no attention other than a check at the annual habitation
service, however, it should be noted that the bulk tank itself must be pressure tested by an
approved test house every 10 years.
