Operating the gas system while driving
For heating while driving, Regulation (EC) 661/2009 and the binding
UN/ECE regulation R 122 stipulate safety shut-off devices for motor
homes and caravans that ensure that the gas supply is shut off in the
event of an accident� This gas pressure regulator meets this require-
ment�
Installing a safety shut-off device with an appropriately configured
gas installation means that a type-tested liquid gas heater may be
operated while driving throughout Europe in line with the aforemen-
tioned regulation�
National provisions and regulations for operating gas systems
while driving must be observed�
For vehicles manufactured before 01/2007 there are no restrictions for
operating the gas system while driving*�
* Except for France:
In France, operation of a gas system while driving is only permitted
in type-tested vehicles with first registration as of January 1, 2007�
In older vehicles the operation of the gas system while driving is also
non-permissible in combination with a safety shut-off device�
Take additional safety measures if heating or another gas appliance
needs to be used while driving:
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions before operating
a gas appliance while driving�
Use high-pressure hoses with hose rupture protection (HRP) for
connecting the gas cylinders to the gas pressure regulators or gas
filters�
