Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution
containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are
corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration
of the copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is
present, the soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point
. If a leak is indicated,
shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact an independent Jayco
dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.

ROCEDURE
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in the liquefied state, resembles
water. An odorant (usually a sulfur compound) is added as a warning agent. If
you smell propane within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedure
listed on the label below.
When propane container is low, occasionally there may be a concentration of an
onion or garlic-like odor, which can be mistaken for a propane gas leak.
DANGER
ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNITORS (SEE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS) SHALL BE TURNED OFF BEFORE REFUELING OF MOTOR
FUEL TANKS AND/ OR PROPANE CONTAINERS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S)
TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF
CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION
THIS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO NOT
