LP-GAS SYSTEM
DIPLOMAT 2004
NOTE: The above information is not a complete guide for the
use of LP-Gas tanks or appliances. In cold climates keep fuel
levels above 50% in order to keep vaporization of LP-Gas at
the highest level.

Basic Facts About LP-Gas:
• LP-Gas detectors are a federal requirement on
all LP-Gas equipped recreation vehicles.
• LP-Gas is a by-product produced by refining oil.
• Odor is added to LP-Gas after the refining process.
• Each liquid gallon of LP-Gas produces 91,502
BTU (British Thermal Units).
• Temperature affects pressure of LP-Gas.
Internal tank pressure can exceed 200 psi.
• Tanks or valves contain pressure relief valves.
The relief valve opens at 125% above tank rating.
• LP-Gas stops vaporizing at -44º F.
• Standard LP-Gas operating pressure is 11" of
Water Column or approximately 6 ¼ ounces
per square inch.
• An inch of Water Column is a measurement of
applied pressure to one side of a U-Tube ½
filled with water at sea level. The amount of
pressure required to raise the water level 11",
represents 11” of Water Column.
