GAS BOTTLES
Each gas bottle holds 6 kg of propane (in the UK).
Gas can be stored in a bottle with no limitation of time.
The gas is compressed to a liquid form. In a newly filled
gas bottle, the liquid gas takes up to 80% of the space.
In the motorhome’s gas system, the gas bottle must stand
upright. See illustration. If it is used on its side, liquefied
gas may seep out into the system and cause the flames in
the hob burners to periodically flare up.
The gas bottle is a pressure vessel and must not be
subjected to abnormal heating.
Avoid having direct sunlight on the gas bottle.
Because the gas bottle is a pressure vessel, it must be
tested every tenth year. Each gas bottle is marked with the
year it was last tested. Replace any bottle if the marking is
for a date more than ten years ago.
When the gas bottle’s valve is opened, gas exits via the
top of the bottle and reduces the pressure inside the
bottle. To compensate for this, the liquefied gas in the
bottle gasifies to an extent matching the outflow of gas
and exactly restoring the pressure. This process continues
until the bottle no longer contains gas in liquid form.
The gas bottle’s connection to the gas system has a left-
hand thread.
To change gas bottles, see the instructions in the “Use”
section.
Gas cylinder valves are of various designs depending on
the type of cylinder and the use for which it is intended.
It is essential that the correct pressure regulator with the
correct pressure setting and capacity for the installation is
used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Important!
The following can be bought as optional extras from
your Coachman distributor:
• gas bottle connectors for using gas bottles at
outside the UK.
• connectors that enable “foreign” bottles to be
fitted to the UK reducing valve.
The gas bottle must be stored upright.
