SECTION 9
PROPANE SYSTEM
Servicing or filling
When you have a new cylinder filled for the
first time, make sure your propane supplier
purges your new cylinder of trapped air.
Otherwise, an improper mixture of gas and air
will make it impossible to light your propane
appliances.
When a propane container is low,
occasionally there may be a concentration of
an onion or garlic-like odor, which can be
mistaken for a propane leak. After a propane
cylinder has been refueled, the odor will
usually disappear. If not, turn OFF each
propane cylinder shut off valve and have the
propane system inspected by your dealer or a
qualified propane service representative.
No one should be inside and only the qualified
propane service technician should be near the
RV while the propane tank is being filled. The
new propane container must be carefully
purged for best performance and must
NEVER BE OVERFILLED. The following
labels should be kept permanently affixed to
your RV.
Fig. 9.2 “Shut off during re-fueling” label
Fig. 9.3 “Do not fill to more than 80%” label
Fig. 9.4 “Use propane only” label
Before entering a propane or fuel service
station make sure all pilot lights are
extinguished. Shut off gas to all appliances
by closing the propane gas main shut off
valve. Always shut OFF any engine before
refueling. Do not smoke and do not
operate other ignition sources while
refueling.
