LP FUEL SYSTEM
It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove,
water-heater, and furnace. This system has containers that contain the fuel and also regulators to
control the pressure of the fuel and supplies the gas vapor to the various appliances. When correctly
used, the LP system is very effective and will ensure the comfort and added convenience for your
vehicle. This system is also potentially very dangerous and should be used with care.
Liquefied petroleum (LP) is a product that is refined from crude oil through natural gases. Propane is
a colorless and odorless gas that in the liquefied state resembles water. An odorant is added as a
warning agent. This is usually a sulfur compound which gives the gas the rotten egg, stinky, skunk
oil odor. It is extremely important to become familiar with the odor associated with LP gas.
LP fuel is stored in a pressurized canister in a liquid state. As the fuel is released from the canister, it
becomes vapor that is needed for the operation of the appliances. In the liquid state, propane should
not run through the appliances. A liquid fuel will damage the o-rings in the valves and also leave a
sticky, oily residue causing poor or no operation in the regulator.
LP CONTAINER
The tank or “bottle” is a D.O.T. approved container to hold fuel in liquid form, and is normally a 20#
or 30# (9 or 14 kilograms) capacity. The open/close valve is to be closed at all times unless hooked
up to LP gas system or filling container. When the container is disconnected from the hose and Type
I connection, install the valve cover that is attached to container. This is required by the RV industry,
Gas Association, and for your own safety. Do not allow the container (filled or empty) to move or
roll around while transporting to and from filling location.
I
WARNING: Because your vehicle has exterior combustion air inlets, all pilot lights,
appliances and their igniters (see instructions) must be turned off before and during
gasoline or LP gas refueling. Laws in some states require this.
