FRONT LP TANKS
The tanks are a D.O.T. approved tank to hold fuel in liquid form, and are a 30# (44 or 66 kilogams)
capacity. The open/close valve is to be closed at all times unless hooked up to LP gas system or
filling the tank. When the tank is disconnected from the hose and P.O.L. connection, install P.O.L.
plastic plug that is attached to tank. This is required by the Gas Association, and for your own safety.
Do not allow the tank(filled or empty) to move or roll around while transporting to and from filling
location.

WARNING: Because your trailer has exterior combustion air inlets, all appliance
pilot lights must be turned off during gasoline or LP gas refueling. Laws in some states
require this.
Servicing and Filling LP Tanks
Filling an LP tankcorrectly is very important and must be performed by a qualified person who
knows the proper inspection and safety procedures. Any new tank must be carefully purged for best
performance and must NEVER BE OVERFILLED.
#
CAUTION: DO NOT use tools to open or close tankvalve. Hand Tighten Only.
#
CAUTION: Never smoke during the filling of LP tanks. Keep the trailer away from
immediate filling area when possible or extinguish all gas pilot lights.
LP gas expands 1-1/2% for each 10° increase in temperature. It is imperative to leave sufficient
space inside the tankto allow for the natural expansion of gas during warmer weather. Each LP gas
tankis equipped with an overfill device built into the main valve. This device must remain open
during the filling. When the tankis filled to 80%, the maximum level for safety, a liquid will appear
replacing the vapor. Stop filling immediately and close both valves; hand tighten only.
I
WARNING: A LP gas tank must never be filled beyond 80% of its capacity.
If your tankbecomes overfilled and is not allowed to "bleed off" before installation to the parktrailer
system, it may gain pressure from exposure to direct sunlight and will begin "blowing off" pressure
from the overflow valve. This will be detected by the strong odor around the tanks. Keep open
flames away from this area. It is best to find a technician qualified in releasing an overfill from the
tank. If that is not possible, remove the tank, take it to a safe area at least twenty-five feet (10 meters)
from any source of combustion, and "bleed off" the excess pressure by opening the valve slightly
and closing it when discharge has been sufficient, one to two minutes.
