Use an appropriate propane leak detector
solution or create a soapy water solution. The
propane
leak
detector
solution
can
be
purchased at most dealerships (if soapy water
is used, make sure that the soap used does
not contain ammonia or chlorine). Apply the
propane leak detector solution to all propane
piping connections. If a leak is present, the
solution will bubble at the connections.
If a leak is detected
1. Execute your family safety plan.
2. Turn off the propane at the cylinder(s).
3. Turn off all appliances that utilize propane.

5. Disconnect the 12-volt auxiliary battery (if
so equipped).

your
dealer

a
service

Propane is stored in pressurized containers in
a liquid state. As the propane is released from
the container, it changes to vapor that is then
used for the operation of the appliances.
Propane will not run through the appliances in
the liquid state. The volume of liquid propane
increases approximately 1-½% for every 10°F
(5.5°C) it is warmed. Heat the propane 100°F
(55°C) and the container liquid volume will
increase 15%. That is why it is imperative to
leave sufficient space inside the cylinder to
allow for natural expansion of gas during
warmer weather.
The
following
label
should
be
kept
permanently affixed to your RV.
The main shut off valve must be kept closed at
all times unless you are using the propane
system or filling the propane cylinder. When
the cylinder is disconnected from the hose,
install the valve cover that is attached so the
container. This is required by the National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA), other applicable
local codes and for your own safety.
Close the propane cylinder main shut off valve
by hand tightening only. Use of tools creates a
potential to over tighten the valve (damaging
the interior seals on the cylinder valve seat). If
