Tank Capacity
NOTE:
This chart reflects product specifications
available at the time of printing.
NOTE:
LP-Gas tank capacity is estimated
based on calculations provided by the
tank manufacturer and represents
approximate capacity. The actual “usable
capacity” may be greater or less than
the estimated capacity. Actual full liquid
capacity is 80% of full tank capacity.
Tank Filling
Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide, and
other similar publications, list refueling stations.
Many travel parks sell LP-Gas. Before fi lling
the LP-Gas tank, shut off pilot lights, appliances
and igniters to prevent a fi re or explosion. Have
a trained service person fi ll the LP-Gas tank.
WARNING:
Turn off all pilot lights and LP-Gas
operated appliances before entering
a refueling station. Most LP-Gas
appliances used in motorhomes are
vented to the outside. Fuel vapors can
enter those vents when a motorhome
is parked close to a gasoline pump,
resulting in an explosion or fire.
WARNING:
Extinguish all sources of heat, sparks,
flames and smoking materials within a
50
'
radius during the fueling process.
The LP-Gas tank fi ll is located in the roadside
compartment. The tank must be fi lled to
the proper level to allow for expansion. An
overfi lled tank may cause the safety valve to
release pressure emitting a strong rotten egg
odor near the tank and can also damage the
LP-gas regulator.
WARNING:
Small amounts of LP-Gas can escape
and evaporate during the fueling
process. Protect bare skin. Instant
freezing will occur if exposed to LP-Gas.
LP-Gas exists in both liquid and vapor form
within the tank. A full tank is approximately
80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are
required to have a safety pressure relief device
to release excess pressure. When the tank is
full, the gauge on the tank will only read ¾.
NOTE:
If the tank is new and being filled
for the first time, inform the service
technician to purge any air from the
tank prior to filling.
