Liquid Propane (Lp) Tank - Tiffin Motorhomes WAYFARER 2017 Owner's Manual

LP GAS SYSTEM

LIQUID PROPANE (LP) TANK

Figure 4-1: LP Tank
The Wayfarer is equipped with an ASME
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers)-
approved LP tank (Figure 4-1) which is equipped
with an automatic pressure regulator. This tank
contains liquid petroleum fuel under high
pressure.
A LP gas-distribution system distributes the gas
to those appliances using such in the
motorhome. The "heart" of this LP gas
distribution system is the regulator and it should
only be adjusted by a qualified service technician. Most of the problems encountered in lighting the
pilots of these appliances are caused by regulator mis-adjustments.
The major component of the LP gas supply is a pipe which runs underneath the motorhome floor. The
various gas appliances are connected by a rubber supply line.
Should any of the secondary tubing develop a leak, do not attempt to splice any of the 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.
