GAS
General Information
The vehicle is fitted with a 15ltr LPG Gas tank.
The gas appliances in this vehicle are powered
by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) which is
stored under the floor in the centre of the
vehicle. This tank is refilled, when required, at
a re-fuelling station using a nozzle and hose in
a similar way to refilling the engine fuel tank.
The Regulator
Your campervan is equipped with a gas
regulator, which has a working pressure
of 30mbar, and is suitable for use with all
commercially available brands of LPG,
Do
not use appliance with a different working
pressure.
A Truma Mono Control Crash Sensor
unit is fitted adjacent to the regulator to
automatically cut off the gas supply in
the event of an accident. This assembly is
fitted under the vehicle near the bulk tank
installation. In the case of an accident with
a deceleration of between 3g and 4g acting
directly on the triggering element (equivalent
to a collision speed of approximately 10-15
mph with a fixed obstruction), the integrated
crash sensor will cut of f the flow of gas. The
gas supply can be restored by pressing the
green button on the Mono Control inwards and
holding it for approximately 10 seconds. It may
be necessary to press with reasonable force,
using a pen or pencil.
Availability
LPG is becoming more widely available as
more vehicle engines are converted to run on
it. Many garages now have an LPG pump and
other outlets are available in more rural areas,
often near farming communities for instance.
Look for signs advertising ‘Autogas’
If you have internet access, search for ‘LPG
filling stations’ and there are many sites where
input of your postcode will locate the nearest
filling station to your location.
There are many companies producing LPG but
all brands are suitable for use in your vehicle.
LPG Re-fuelling
LPG re-filling is simple and efficient, carried
out in much the same was as petrol and
diesel with a hose and nozzle designed
to lock onto the filling connector on the
vehicle. The LPG filler point is located
underneath the rear bumper on the
nearside corner of the campervan.
To fill the vehicle, you will need to
screw the bayonet adapter provided
into the LPG filler point.
Once the connection is made, the
customer simply presses and holds
down a button on the dispenser until they
have put the required amount of fuel
into the vehicle or until the tank is full.
LPG tanks are fitted with a valve that stops
the flow once the tank has reached its
maximum safe filling level. Once the meter
stops the customer simple disconnects the
nozzel and returns it to the dispenser.
There is a gauge for the LPG tank, fitted at
the right hand side of the dashboard, which
uses LED lights to indicate the fuel level.
Safety Note
• When arriving at the Autogas
dispenser ensure the vehicle is parked
with the filling connector located
nearest to the dispensing pump.
• Apply the handbrake and switch off the
engine. If the Combi space heater is
running it will turn off automatically. It will
need to be re-started at the control panel
after the engine has been re-started.
• No smoking, naked flames or
mobile phones are allowed on
the Service Station forecourt,
• If the re-fuelling process will take
longer than 15 minutes (ie with the
ignition off) then turn the refrigerator
off at its main switch in order to prevent
it from switching automatically to
the alternative energy source of gas
and producing an ignition spark.
• The use of an adaptor is not recommended.
