General information Gas Cylinders
Bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the
most convenient portable source of fuel for your
vehicle.
The gas cylinder, cooking and heating
appliances should be isolated when travelling.
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally make sure
that each gas appliance is working efficiently
to the recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.
The LPG system should be inspected annually
by a competent person.
Only use gas cylinders that are located within
their dedicated position within the gas bottle
housing and never extend the hose - hose
lengths must not exceed 400mm.
Your vehicle is supplied with a wall mounted
gas regulator plumbed inside the gas bottle
compartment. The regulator and all appliances
work at a harmonised 30mb pressure, which
work with Butane and Propane gas.
Pressure regulation system in this vehicle
has a fixed working pressure of 30 mbar with
a flow rate of 1.5 kg/H and complies with the
requirements of EN 12864 annex D.
We do not recommend the use of an inline LPG
BBQ with the 1.5kg/H regulator when other LPG
appliances are in use.
Gas Hoses
High-pressure hoses or pigtails as they
are called must be used with the new style
regulator.
LPG cylinder i.e. Propane, Butane, BP and
Camping Gaz cylinders all have unique bottle
adaptor connections. It is important to check you
have the correct hose and adaptor to suit your
gas cylinders.
Push on hoses are no longer permitted under
the latest regulations.
The high-pressure hoses have threaded
connections and must be securely attached to
the regulator and to the gas cylinder.
The hose connection to the pressure regulator
relies upon a sealing washer(s) to maintain a
gas tight joint, and it is essential to check that
the washer is present, sound and correctly
positioned prior to making the connection.
The gas cylinder connection relies on a metal
seating or bull nose connection to obtain a
gas tight joint, therefore it is essential that the
mating surfaces are clean and undamaged. In
no case should a damaged valve or connection
be used.
Ensure that there is a constant rise in the flexible
gas hose between the gas cylinder outlet and
the regulator elbow.
WARNING: Inspect flexible gas hose(s)
regularly for deterioration and renew as
necessary with the approved type, in any
case no later than 5 years after the date of
manufacture marked on the hose.
WARNING: Ensure that the high pressure
hose is not excessively twisted or under stress
when connected to the LPG cylinders and
regulator.
WARNING:
Always ensure the gas supply
is isolated at the LPG cylinder (and not at the
regulator) whilst the vehicle is in storage for
any period. It is important to ensure that the
high pressure gas hose has a continuous rise
from the bottle cylinder to the regulator to
allow any condensate to fall back into the gas
bottle cylinder.
Cylinder compartment
The cylinder compartments has four plastic
mouldings per cylinder position fitted to the
floor of the compartment that are designed to
fit the cylinders. Two straps are provided for
retaining the bodies of the cylinders at mid to
high level.
