Some industrial LPG appliances
operate at high pressure and require
a “high pressure” regulator. This often
has an adjusting handle on it. Never
use such a regulator on a caravan.
• Propane and butane gas regulators are not
interchangeable.
• Always ensure that the gas system is
inspected/maintained every 12 months.
• In the event of a fire ensure all occupants
evacuate the caravan via the nearest
escape route.
• If you suspect a gas leak then immediately
turn off the supply of gas, then turn off
the gas valve on the gas bottles. When this
has been completed the system must be
inspected by a qualified person.
• Never use gas bottles located outside the
caravan gas box.
• Do not use any gas extension hoses.
• When using a gas barbecue always ensure
gas appliances are suitable for use at
30mbar.

LPG is poisonous. There is a danger of
death if all air and oxygen is excluded.
Ventilation holes must be kept clear at
all times and must not be obstructed.
Manufacturers have given LPG a
distinct smell in order to identify leaks.

EAKS
If the smell of gas becomes apparent, the
supply should be turned off at the cylinder
immediately.
Extinguish naked flames including cigarettes
and pipes.
Do not operate electrical switches.
Open all doors and windows to disperse any
escaping gas.
Butane/propane gas is heavier than air; any
escaping gas will therefore collect at a low
level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas
will enable the general area of the leak to be
detected.
Check that the gas is not escaping from an
unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with
a naked flame. Leak investigation should be
carried out using a leak detector spray.
Do not operate any electrical apparatus
whatsoever, especially light switches.
If the leak is not obvious, the caravan should
be evacuated and a competent service
engineer consulted.
Avoid naked lights when connecting or
changing a cylinder. Ensure the gas valve is
turned off.
Regularly inspect the flexible gas hoses for
deterioration and replace as necessary with
approved hoses (all hoses should be replaced
before the expiry date marked on the hose or
after a maximum of five years).
Keep gas bottle containers outside (and
protected against frost). If they must be kept
inside make sure they are well away from heat.
