FUELS FOR THE MOTORHOME
DANGER:
All pilot lights, appliances and their ignitors must be turned off before
refueling of the motorhomes fuel tanks or propane (LP) containers. A failure to
comply could result in serious injury or death.
Your motorhome is designed to use diesel or unleaded fuel only depending on your
motorhome chassis.
(If unsure as to which fuel is correct for your motorhome, please refer
to the chassis manufacturer manual for further correct fueling information).
The correct fuel which is used in the routine operation of your motorhome require prudent and
safe handling to assure safety of the motorhome and all of 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 LP gas tanks.
• After filling any LP system, immediately replace and secure all protective covers and
caps.
• After closing of the LP valve, close and securely latch the LP tank access 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".
Doing so could allow
gas to escape into the motorhome before lighting. (Please refer to appliance manual
for further lighting instructions and procedures)
• NEVER use any other "burning" equipment (e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane
lights, propane lights) inside the motorhome. Doing so may cause fires and/or
asphyxiation.
WARNING:
Liquid propane (LP) gas
container, 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 17.1) are equipped
with safety valves that may relieve excess
pressure by discharging gas into the
atmosphere.
Any containment of that vented
LP gas constitutes an explosive hazard.
