For your protection and others, it is critical to
understand the danger associated with fuel.
Take time to become educated about the
property of fuel and use it safely.
If you spill fuel on the RV, clean it up
immediately. Fuel can dull or soften paint and
damage other surfaces. Use care when
fueling your RV. The following labels should
be kept permanently affixed to your RV:
Fig. 7.1 Flammable liquid
Automotive fuel selection
Remember an automotive fuel generator is
fueled by the same system used to fuel the
chassis engine. Check the generator OEM
and chassis manufacturer information to help
determine the type of automotive fuel best
suited for this dual application.
Fuel filler cap
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 the fuel filler cap, 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.
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury
or death if misused or mishandled. If you
have further questions, consult your RV
dealer, the OEM or Jayco Customer
Service for assistance.
□
Always shut OFF all engines while
refueling.
□
Do not bring or store fuel or other
flammable liquids inside the RV
because a fire or explosion may result.
□
Before refueling, extinguish all smoking
materials and any open flames.
□
Before refueling, always turn OFF all
spark producing appliances (i.e., water
heaters, furnaces, etc.).
□
Do not overfill the fuel tank(s). The
pressure in an overfilled fuel tank may
cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and/or fire.
□
Fuel spills represent a serious fire
hazard, and should be cleaned up
immediately.
□
Never restart an engine or re-light any
pilot lights while raw fuel is present.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT
IN FIRE, DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Do not replace the fuel fill cap with one of
a different type. Use of a substitute cap
may create excessive fuel system
pressure, resulting in fuel station damage
and improper operation in a collision.
