GAS
!
WARNING:
When leaving the caravan
for any period of time or storage always turn
off the gas at the gas cylinder.
Note:
Never allow modifications or repairs
of electrical or LPG systems and appliances
except by qualified persons.
!
WARNING:
Isolate cylinders when
re-fuelling
General
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally make sure
that each gas appliance is working efficiently
to the recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.
The LPG system should be inspected annually
by a competent person.
Only use gas cylinders that are located within
their dedicated position within the gas bottle
housing, never extend the hose - hose lengths
must not exceed 400mm.
We do not recommend the use of an inline
LPG BBQ with the regulator when other LPG
appliances are in use.
!
WARNING:
The LPG cylinder valve
should be closed when driving.
Types of gas
Propane
Propane is supplied in red, or partly red
bottles which have a female left hand threaded
connector.
Scandinavian countries use the same
connector.
Germany and Austria supply propane with a
male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
-40°C and is therefore suitable for all winter
caravanning.
Butane
Butane is supplied in the U.K. in green or
blue cylinder.
All these have a male left hand thread
EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special
female right hand thread and Calor 7kg and
15kg and aluminium cylinders which have a
special clip-on connection.
Continental cylinders usually have a male left
hand thread similar to but not identical with
U.K. butane.
Butane is only suitable for use at temperatures
down to 2°C and will not work below that.
Gas safety advice
!
WARNING:
If you smell gas or suspect
a leak or in the event of a fire and if it is safe
to do so, isolate the gas appliances and turn
off the gas bottles at the regulator. Evacuate
the caravan and ventilate. Seek professional
advice as to the cause of the leak.
Facts about LPG
