Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
NOTE: Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance to
State and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It is impera-
tive to leave sufficient space inside the container to allow for natural expansion of gas during
warmer weather.
Servicing or Filling
Because the container is not removable, the motorhome will need to be driven to a qualified
propane facility for servicing or filling.
Only the authorized gas service technician(s) should be near the motorhome while the pro-
pane tank is being filled. The new propane container must be carefully purged for proper ap -
pliance performance and operation. The propane tank must NEVER BE OVERFILLED.
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system and/or container after filling.
Make sure the valve is closed and the compartment door is securely latched.
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 following warming label has been placed by the propane container.
 Always shut OFF the engine while refueling . Do not smoke and do not
operate other ignition sources while refueling.
 When the propane container is disconnected from the main supply
hose and the P.O.L. connection, install the P.O.L. plastic cap that is at-
tached to the container.

If you suspect your propane container has been overfilled, contact
your dealer or a qualified propane technician for assistance imme-
diately
. Do not attempt to service a propane container overfill yourself.
