7-5
CLASS C MOTORHOME
Modern fuel systems may cause pressure to build
up in the fuel tank during hot weather. It may
happen under certain conditions, that a bit of fuel
may spray from the spout when the fuel cap is
removed suddenly, causing a possible hazard.
WARNING
7.8 REFUELLING
Always consult your chassis manual to determine
whether your motorhome requires gasoline or diesel
for the chassis engine.
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
WARNING
1.
Removing The Fuel Cap:
Rotate the fuel cap slowly and only far
enough for the pressure to be released i.e.
until any “hissing” sound stops. Then
remove the cap.
2.
Filling The Tank:
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fill only until
the automatic shut-off valve cuts out.
This allows for expansion of the fuel and
vapor space as the fuel warms up in your
fuel tank.
CAUTION
Overfilling the fuel tank may cause
damage to the fuel evaporative
emission system.
CAUTION
In northern climates during the
winter season, winter diesel fuel
must be used to prevent fuel gelling.
Gelling could cause the engine to
stop or make it impossible to start.
