Lp Tank Filling Practices - Tiffin Motorhomes 2014 Allegro Owner's Manual

TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
The major component of the LP gas supply is a manifold pipe which runs lengthwise underneath the motor home floor.
From this manifold, the various gas appliances are connected by copper tubing with flared fittings so that connections
and disconnections can readily be made, as needed.
Should any of the secondary tubing develop a leak, either on the tubing proper or at the fittings, do not attempt to
splice any of these lines. Instead, have a qualified service technician run a new length of tubing to the appliance of
concern and then have that line leak-tested before placing it in normal operation.
To remove, repair, or replace any gas-operated appliance; always close the main gas valve at the LP tank—this measure
will provide an additional element of safety to prevent gas leakage and possible, subsequent explosion hazards.
However, if a gas leak is noted or suspected, turn "off" the main valve and keep the LP gas system "off" until that
system is inspected by a qualified service technician as soon as possible. Do not delay in addressing any possible gas
leaks with appropriate service because of the inherent hazards to safety.
When the motor home is not being used, the main LP gas valve must be turned
"off." Also, turn "off" the main valve when the LP gas tank is to be refueled to avoid
the possibility of ignition fuel fumes by the pilot lights. All gas valves on the gas-
operated appliances with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) should also be in the "off"
position during refueling and/or maintenance operations. DO NOT store LP, motor
fuel, propane, butane, or other flammable liquids inside the motor home as these
represent a very real fire hazard and possible threat to life.

LP Tank Filling Practices

Any LP gas tank associated with the motor home should never be filled to more than 80% of total capacity; filling
should always be done only when the motor home is leveled. If the motor home is not level, the tank may be overfilled
(i.e., more than 80% of capacity) and, thus, subject the motor home to possible fire or explosion from resultant
uncontrolled gas flows.
