Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
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 criti-
cal to proper operation and propane flow. Follow these instruc -
tions to make sure your propane container(s) are connected
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 container 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.
The propane piping system is designed for use with propane
only. Do not connect natural gas to this system.
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 reflec -
tive 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.
