LP CYLINDER FILLING AND EXCHANGE
Some areas only allow you to exchange your empty cylinder for a replacement that is already full. Other areas
allow you to refill your cylinder. If you are in an area where you can refill your cylinder:
1.
Use only a licensed dealer.
2.
The dealer must first purge a new cylinder before filling.
3.
Never fill a cylinder more than 80% full by volume. Volume will vary by temperature. An empty
cylinder weighs approximately 18 pounds (8.2kgs). A full one approximately 38 pounds (17.3kgs).
4.
Be sure the LP dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
5.
Do not release LP gas into the atmosphere, as it can unexpectedly ignite when mixed with air.
6.
Contact a LP dealer to remove LP gas from a cylinder.
Only exchange your cylinder for one with an O.P.D. feature as shown above.
LP CYLINDER LEAK TEST
A leak test should be done each time a cylinder is refilled or exchanged. Do
not smoke or use any type of flammable material in the area during this leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
1.
Test outside in a well ventilated area.
2.
Use a paintbrush and a solution of 50% liquid soap and 50% water. Do
not use cleaning agents and they can damage the fuel supply parts.
3.
Brush liquid onto areas highlighted with arrows.
4.
Bubbles indicate a leak.

immediately.
