CAUTION
Shut off the main gas valve at the tank when the
vehicle is not in use.
FUEL SYSTEMS
This section provides information about the fuel systems in your coach, including LP (if equipped),
chassis engine fuel, and auxiliary fuel tanks (if equipped).
PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM
The components relating to the propane gas system in your
coach have been approved for use in recreational vehicles
by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Propane gas
is a clean-burning dependable fuel when properly handled.
It is recommended to have the propane system inspected
by an authorized service technician at least once a year and
after every extended trip. This system is tested by both the
manufacturer and the dealer; however, leaks may be
caused by travel vibrations.
Your coach may be equipped with an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) approved propane tank. This
tank is controlled with an automatic pressure regulator. The propane tank contains liquid petroleum gas under high
pressure. As the fuel is used, the liquid gas vaporizes and passes through the tank valve to a regulator that
automatically reduces the pressure. The low-pressure gas is then distributed to the appliances throughout the pipe
manifold system.
IMPORTANT
While in high altitudes or extreme cold weather, a gas shortage may be experienced. Running one appliance
at a time can help adjust to this problem.
PROPANE TANK FILLING
Tank filling should only be performed by trained professionals. Prior to filling the propane tank, turn off all flame or spark-
producing appliances, extinguish any smoking items, and turn off the coach engine.
WARNING
Inspect the propane fill valve for foreign materials before refueling. Introducing foreign materials into the fill
valve may cause leaking or overfilling. Fire or explosion may be the result of uncontrolled gas flow from an
overfilled tank.
WARNING
Do not fill propane container(s) to more than 80 percent capacity. Overfilling the propane container can result
in uncontrolled propane flow, which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container contains
approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid propane. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or
death.
