How Propane Gas Works
Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum)
gas compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. Propane gas may also
be called tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
Propane is used by appliances in vapor form
only, but is stored in the tank as a liquid under
very high pressure. As the liquid gas is released,
it reverts back to a vapor and expands to many
times its compressed volume.
Propane System
The storage reservoir for the propane gas
system is located in a driver side compartment.

Propane cylinders are equipped with
safety devices that relieve excessive
pressure by discharging propane to the
atmosphere.
Propane gas is highly flammable.
Can lead to a fire or explosion and result
in death or serious injury.
Refilling Propane Cylinder
The LP cylinder must be removed and taken to
a propane dealership for filling.
