Capacity
The recreational vehicle propane system
is designed to accommodate two 20 pound
storage tanks or two 30 pound storage tanks.
These are the only approved tank sizes.
Tank Filling
Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide
and other publications list refueling stations.
Many travel parks sell propane. Shut off the
pilot lights, appliances and igniters before
filling the propane tank to prevent a fire or
explosion. Have a trained service technician
fill the propane tank.
NOTE:
Purge air from the tanks before filling
if the tanks are new and being filled
for the first time.
When the tank is filled to the proper level,
there is space available for vaporization of
liquid to gas. If a tank is overfilled, it may vent
pressure. Propane exists in both a liquid and
vapor state in the propane tank. A full tank is
about 80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank
varies with temperature of the liquid.
All tanks are required to be equipped with a
pressure relief device. The purpose of the relief
valve is to release gas or liquid caused by
overpressurization. When this happens, there
will be a strong rotten egg odor and/or a loud
hissing noise. Never transport the recreational
vehicle without the straps securing both tanks.
Close the propane primary shut-off valve,
hand tight. Shut off pilot lights, appliances
and igniters before filling the propane tanks to
prevent a fire or explosion.
Disconnect the hose from the propane tank
(left hand thread). Loosen the strap to release
the tank. Remove the tank and have a trained
service technician fill the propane tank.
Caution the technician not to overfill the tank.
Place the full tank into the carrier and secure.
Re-connect the hose to the tank. Open the
primary shut-off valve and check for leaks.
CAUTION:
Pressure inside propane tanks
can exceed 300 psi when in direct
sunlight. A high-pressure safety
relief valve will purge excess high
pressure if necessary. Propane will
stop vaporizing as the propane
tank temperature approaches -40º
F. Appliances that consume large
amounts of propane, such as the water
heater or furnace, will need to be
operated in sequence in extremely cold
environments.
WARNING:
Reduce risk of injury, fire and
explosion. Install an approved plug
in the valve outlet hole to prevent
leaks when transporting or storing
portable propane tanks. Do not store
or transport empty propane tanks,
portable tanks, gasoline or other
flammable liquids in the interior of the
recreational vehicle. Keep open flame
and spark producing materials away
from the propane area. Shut off all
appliances and the primary propane
tank valve when the recreational
vehicle is in storage.
Propane Tank Capacity
20 lbs. (2)
30 lbs. (2)
*Actual filled propane capacity is 80% of listing
due to safety shut-off required on tank.
