Fuel Station
Fuel Station
A Fuel Station is standard equipment on your Momentum FW.
Most models have two separate (gasoline only) tanks. One tank
supples the pump/nozzle and one tank supples the generator.
Some models supply both systems with a single fuel tank.
BEFORE OPERATING:
Please read, and follow all safety
information in the Fuel Station section of this manual.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
If you need further assistance, consult with your dealer
or Grand Design RV Customer Service .
Exhaust Fumes
Avoid inhaling any exhaust gases. They contain carbon monox-
ide, which is a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless
See page 41 , Carbon Monoxide (CO).
• ALWAYS shut OFF the engine while refueling your
vehicle or generator.
• DO NOT run any combustion engine in confined areas,
such as a closed garage, or any longer than needed
to move in or out of your RV's garage.
• If a vehicle or generator engine is running nearby,
RV windows should be closed to avoid drawing
dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the RV,
determine the cause and remedy as soon as possible.
Fuel Filler Cap
Open the Fuel Filler Cap Slowly: If the fuel filler cap is opened too
quickly, fuel can spray out on you. This is more likely to happen
in hot weather and/or if your tank is nearly full.
•
To open:
Remove the fuel filler cap by slowly turning it
counterclockwise and waiting for any "hiss" noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
•
To close:
Securely turn the cap clockwise until you hear
clicking sounds. If you need to replace the fuel tank filler
cap, use only a cap specified for your RV.
There is a potential for
exhaust fumes to filter back
into your RV, If a tow vehicle
or generator engine is
running nearby.
The best protection
against carbon monoxide
entry into the RV is a
properly maintained
ventilation system and an
active carbon monoxide
detector. To allow for
proper operation of the
ventilation system, keep the
ventilation inlet grill(s) clear
of snow, leaves or other
obstructions.
DO NOT replace the fuel
filler cap with one of a
different type. If replacing
the fuel cap(s) is required,
it must be replaced with a
cap designed specifically
for this application. Failure
to do so may result in
improper vent pressure
and/or vacuum leading to
serious fuel system and
other damage.
Working with fuel can be
dangerous. Serious injury
or death could result from
improper handling of the
generator, fuel station and
fuel.
