Tiffin Motorhomes 2015 Phaeton, Owner'S Manual, Page: 21 / 158

Your motorhome is designed to use diesel fuel
only for the engine used in the routine operation
of the motorhome—these require prudent and
safe handling to assure safety of the motorhome
and its occupants; namely:
• Anytime the motor fuel or the LP tank is to be
filled, the motorhome engine
is to be turned OFF and all pilot lights and
appliances should be turned OFF.
• A NO SMOKING policy should always be
observed when refilling the fuel or propane gas tank.
• NEVER use an open flame to test for LP gas leaks or to examine the fluid levels in the fuel tanks.
• After filling any LP system, immediately replace and secure all protective covers and caps.
• After closing the LP valve, close and securely latch the LP door to prevent unintentional access or
damage.
• NEVER connect natural gas to the LP gas system—LP gas and natural gas are not interchangeable.
• When lighting range burners, do not turn burner controls to “On” and allow the gas to escape
before lighting.
• NEVER use any other “burning” equipment (e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane lights, pro
pane lights) inside the motorhome. Doing so may cause fires and/or asphyxiation.
FUELS FOR THE MOTORHOME
SAFETY
14
WARNING
Any portable, fuel-burning equipment (e.g., charcoal, propane, butane, wood)
must not be used inside the motorhome. Any use of such equipment inside
the motorhome may readily cause fires and/or asphyxiation by carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Further, such unauthorized use would probably invalidate your motorhome insurance policy.
All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors
must be turned off before refueling of motor
fuel tanks or propane containers. A failure
to comply, could result in serious injury or
death.
DANGER
WARNING
Liquid propane (LP) gas containers, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids are not to be placed or stored inside
the motorhome because a fire or explosion may occur.
LP gas containers (Figure 2-2) are equipped with safety
valves that may relieve excess pressure by discharging
gas into the atmosphere—any containment of that vent-
ed LP gas constitutes an explosive hazard.
