Servicing and Filling LP Containers
Filling an LP container correctly is very important and must be performed by a qualified person who
knows the proper inspection and safety procedures. Any new container must be carefully purged for
best performance and must NEVER BE OVERFILLED.
I
CAUTION: DO NOT use tools to open or close tank valve. Hand Tighten Only.
I
DANGER: Never smoke during the filling of LP tanks. Keep the RV away from
immediate filling area when possible or extinguish all gas pilot lights.
LP gas expands 1-1/2% for each 10° increase in temperature. It is imperative to leave sufficient
space inside the container to allow for the natural expansion of gas during warmer weather. Each
propane container is equipped with an overfill device built into the main valve. This device must
remain open during the filling. When the container is filled to 80%, the maximum level for safety, a
liquid will appear replacing the vapor. Stop filling immediately and close both valves; hand tighten
only.
I
WARNING: A LP gas container must never be filled beyond 80% of its capacity.
If your tank becomes overfilled and is not allowed to "bleed off" before installation to the RV
system, it may gain pressure from exposure to direct sunlight and will begin "blowing off" pressure
from the overflow valve. This will be detected by the strong odor around the tanks. Keep open
flames away from this area. It is best to find a technician qualified in releasing an overfill from the
container. If that is not possible, remove the bottle, take it to a safe area at least twenty-five feet (10
meters) from any source of combustion, and "bleed off" the excess pressure by opening the valve
slightly and closing it when discharge has been sufficient, one to two minutes.
I
WARNING: LP gas cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. LP gas
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by
discharging gas to the atmosphere.
I
WARNING: Do not bring or store LP gas cylinders, gasoline, or other flammable
liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion can result.
When an LP tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor which may be
mistaken for a gas leak. After a change over to a full tank, the odor usually will disappear. If not, turn
off the LP containers and have the system checked by a qualified technician.
