Section 7: Fuel & Propane System

FILLED
. This “shut off for re-fueling” label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
The position of the propane container(s) and the hoses are critical to proper operation and
propane flow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are con
-
nected properly.
LP Gas Container Overfill
Never allow your propane tank to be filled above the maximum safe
level as indicated by the fixed liquid level gauge. Do not allow the
visible gauge to be used for filling. Overfilling the propane con
-
tainer above the liquid capacity indicated on the container, could
allow liquid propane to enter the system that is designed for vapor
only creating a hazardous condition.
This label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
Refer to your Warranty Packet for more information on the LP gas
system components.
Maintenance
Propane gas is normally non-corrosive - you need not worry about
the inside of your container. However, the outside should be kept
free from rust by a periodic coat of paint in a light reflective color. Rust, scratches and/or
dents can affect the safety of the cylinder. Inspect the cylinder at regular intervals.
Ifs a problem, have it evaluated by a qualified technician and discard it. DOT requires that a
visual inspection be made prior to each filling.
Any cylinder that has been exposed to fire, leaks or seems damaged should not be refilled.
Do not attempt to repair any containers, container valves, regulator or appliances by your-
self. Use only trained certified propane gas service technicians to perform repairs.
Propane Cylinder Recertification
DOT cylinders may only be used for 12 years after their manufacture date (the number of
years for certification may vary in your area). After that, the cylinders must be “recertified”
which provides another five years of use.
The cylinders can be recertified every five years thereafter. Federal DOT (Department of
Transportation) regulations require periodic inspections and re-qualifications of the propane
cylinders. DO NOT USE damaged or rusted containers.
Verify with your local propane dealer that all required inspections and certifications have
been completed on the propane cylinder within the correct time period before refilling the
cylinder. Have the LP system checked for leakage each time a cylinder is refilled or after
any part of the propane system has been disconnected.
Hoses, Pipes, Tubes and Fittings
The hoses, pipes, tubes and fittings used in your propane system are designed to withstand
pressures exceeding those of the propane system. However, because environment and time
can both contribute to the deterioration of these components, they must be inspected for
wear at regular intervals.
Be sure to inspect the hose before each season and when having the tank refilled. Look for
signs of deterioration such as cracks or loss of flexibility. When replacing the hose or other
propane components, make sure to always replace them with components of the same type
and rating (check with your dealer).
Fittings are used to connect the various system components to each other. The P.O.L. fitting
at the end of the propane supply hose is made of brass so that pipe sealants are not necessary
to prevent leaking.
