Filling the propane tank
Starting the turbine requires a gas mixture (40% propane / 60% butane) normally used for torch
soldering. The gas bottle in which the gas comes has to be supplied with the gas filling unit,
order no. 6803.
To fill the propane tank the gas bottle is connected to it instead of the male connector which is
connected to the propane valve (version A) or to the separately installed fill connector (version
B).
The tank can then be filled as follows:
1. Insert the male filler connector on the propane bottle into the self-sealing female
connector.
2. Invert the propane bottle.
3. Open the gas bottle valve so that liquid gas flows into the propane tank.
4. Just before the gas flow ceases, turn the propane bottle the right way up again; any
liquid gas still in the hoses is now forced into the propane tank.
5. Close the valve on the propane bottle.
6. Disconnect the propane bottle by releasing the quick-release coupling.
Note:
Propane/butane gas has a powerful de-greasing effect, and that is why a few drops of
silicone oil or similar should always be applied to the female filler connector before
filling. This prevents the internal O-rings drying out, causing the quick-release coupling
to leak. Some of the oil migrates into the gas valve, where it also lubricates the valve
components.
