h) Always seek advice when in doubt.
WARnInG: Do not use appliances with a
different working pressure to 30mbar.
WARnInG: Maintain adequate spacing
of combustible materials from sources of
heat.
WARnInG: Do not use independent
portable gas appliances inside the
vehicle.
WARnInG: Always read individual
appliance instructions.
Ventilation
WARnInG: Safety ventilation shall in
no circumstances be obstructed even
partially, screens and grills must be kept
clean and free from dust
All ventilation complies with BSEN 721 and
vents should not be obstructed in any manner
as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In
this case the confined atmosphere becomes
depleted of oxygen which leads to the
formation of the highly poisonous gas ‘carbon
monoxide’. Carbon monoxide is odourless,
colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness and death with little or no
warning prior to collapse. THERE IS NO DANGER
WHEN ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS PROVIDED.
Changing gas cylinders
The following procedure should be adopted:
a) Extinguish any fire, flame or source of
ignition (including cigarettes, pipes and
pilot lights) before changing gas cylinders.
b) Wherever possible change gas cylinders in
the open air.
c) Ensure that the gas cylinder valve(s) is/are
closed before disconnecting any empty
cylinder or before removing the plastic
cap or plug on the outlet connection of
the replacement cylinder. (Note. left hand
thread.)
d) Make firm gas-tight joints. Any leaking
vapour will smell. If a leak is suspected
after changing gas cylinders and opening
valve, test by brushing with soapy water
around the joints. Bubbles will form if
vapour is leaking. Never use a naked
flame.
e) Ensure that the replacement gas cylinder is
the correct one for the installation.
f) Gas cylinder valves are of various designs
depending on the type of cylinder and
the use for which it is intended and it
is essential that the correct pressure
regulator with the correct pressure
setting and capacity for the installation is
used in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
g) In the case of a connection on the pressure
regulator which relies upon a sealing
washer(s) to maintain a gas-tight joint,
it is essential to check that the washer is
present, is sound and is correctly positioned
prior to making the connection. Where
the connection relies on a metal to metal
seating or bull nose connection to obtain a
gas-tight joint it is essential that the mating
surfaces are clean and undamaged. In no
case should a damaged valve or connection
be used.
h) Where connections are designed to be
tightened with a spanner, it is essential
that a spanner of the correct size is used
and that the union is firmly tightened,
hand tightness is not sufficient. When
self-sealing valves are incorporated in a
gas cylinder, connections should be made
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and tools should not be used.
Leaks
Action to be taken in the event of a
suspected leak:
a) If a gas leak is suspected, close the gas
cylinder valve or other valve at the inlet
to the vehicle. Do not operate electrical
switches. Open all doors and windows to
disperse any gas escape.
