    LP FUEL SYSTEM It is because of the LP gas system that your park trailer has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove, water-heater, and furnace. This system has tanks that contain the fuel and also regulators to control the pressure of the fuel and supplies the gas vapor to the various appliances. This park trailer is also equipped with an LP connection at the rear of the trailer which may be hooked up to a permanent large capacity LP tank located on your property.

  • Page 35: Front Lp Tanks

    FRONT LP TANKS The tanks are a D.O.T. approved tank to hold fuel in liquid form, and are a 30# (44 or 66 kilogams) capacity. The open/close valve is to be closed at all times unless hooked up to LP gas system or filling the tank.
  • Page 36 WARNING: LP gas tanks are equipped with safety devices which relieve excess pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere. Do not bring or store LP gas tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the park trailer. Disregarding this warning may result in fires or explosions. When an LP tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor which may be mistaken for a gas leak.
