lp Gas systems —
LP-Gas appliances are rated in Input
BTU (British Thermal Units). The rating
is usually stamped or printed on a tag
affixed to the appliance. For example: the
Input rating of the appliance is 10,000
BTUs.
One gallon of LP-Gas produces 91,502
BTUs.
Divide the amount of BTUs of one
gallon of LP-Gas (91,502) by the rating
on the appliance in this example 10,000.
Net continuous operation time for one
gallon of LP-Gas for this appliance
would be approximately 9.2 hours.
The above formula can be useful when trying
to determine the approximate length of time
a tank of LP-Gas will last. Generally, LP-Gas
appliances do not continuously operate. An
example would be the typical cycling of the
refrigerator.
Determining how long a tank of LP-Gas
will last:
Combine the BTU
input totals of all
appliances, and
the approximate
length of time
these appliances
operate per day.
Multiply the
number of liquid
gallons in the
LP-Gas tank by
91,502.
Divide the total of BTUs of the LP-
Gas tank by the total number of BTUs
the appliances consume, equals the
approximate number of hours of
operation before refueling.
WARNING
LP-Gas is highly volatile and extremely
explosive. Never use matches or
open flame to test for leaks. Use only
approved LP-Gas leak testing solution
to test for leaks. Unapproved solutions
can damage copper tubing and brass
fittings. Never attempt to adjust the LP-
Gas regulator without the use of proper
equipment. Improper LP-Gas regulator
adjustment will affect the performance
of LP-Gas operated appliances.
Incorrect flame or explosion can
occur. Only qualified personnel should
perform any maintenance or repair to
the LP-Gas system.
lp-gaS Safety tIpS
LP-Gas is one of the safest and most reliable
fuels available on the market when handled
properly. LP-Gas, however, does have a great
explosive potential if handled improperly.
Danger is minimized by becoming familiar
with and following a few safety precautions,
and by learning how to properly operate LP-
Gas appliances. Use of LP-Gas requires the
responsibility to enforce extra safety measures.
The motorhome is equipped with many
LP-Gas operated appliances because it is a
convenient and efficient source of fuel. LP-Gas
appliances must be operated and maintained
in accordance with the product manufacturer’s
instructions.
The National Propane Gas Association
(NPGA) has a special service program
offered called GAS® (Gas Appliance System)
Check. The GAS® Check program is aimed
at educating users about the convenience
of propane with safety and peace of mind.
For information on the
NPGA Gas® Check
program

(202) 466-7200

Maintenance and Safety Tips for the
LP-Gas Refrigerator and Furnace:
Have the refrigerator and furnace
systems inspected annually by an
authorized server center.
Have the venting system checked for
blockage before using the refrigerator
or furnace for the first time each season.
Insects may have built nests that will
obstruct flow.
At the first indication of incomplete
combustion (yellow flame instead of a
blue flame or soot is present) contact a
service technician. Improper combustion
can cause Carbon Monoxide buildup,
which is potentially fatal.
