Section 7: Fuel & Propane System - Jayco CLASS C2013 GREYHAWK Owner's Manual

SECTION 7 - FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEM
Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from
the container, it changes to vapor which is then used for the operation of the
appliances. Propane will not run through the appliances in the liquid state. A
permanently mounted A.S.M.E. approved propane container is located under the
floor of the motor home.
 NOTE: Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance to
State and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It
is imperative to leave sufficient space inside the container to allow for natural
expansion of gas during warmer weather.

a qualified propane facility for servicing or filling. Only the authorized gas service
technician(s) should be near the motor home while the propane tank is being filled.
The new propane container must be carefully purged for proper appliance
performance and operation. The propane tank must NEVER BE OVERFILLED.
Always shut OFF the engine while refueling.

When the propane container is disconnected from the main supply hose and
the P.O.L. connection, install the P.O.L. plastic cap that is attached to the
container
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system and/or container
after filling. Make sure the valve is closed and the compartment door is securely
latched.
