*Actual filled LP capacity is 80% of listing due to safety shut-off required on the tank.
LP-Gas exists in both the liquid and vapor state within the LP-Gas tank. A
"FULL" tank is approximately 80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are required to be equipped with a
pressure relief device. The purpose of the relief valve is to release gas or liquid
caused by being overpressurized. The gauge at the tank, when full, will only
read 3/4 full. The monitor panel is adjusted to indicate "FULL" at this point.
When storing portable LP-Gas tanks that are not connected to an LP-Gas
system, install an approved plug in the tank outlet holes to prevent leaks. Do
not transport or store LP-Gas tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside
the motorhome.
WARNING: Do not store or transport empty LP-Gas tanks,
portable tanks, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the
motorhome. Keep open flame and spark producing materials
away from the LP-Gas area. Shut off all appliances and primary
LP-Gas tank valve (located on side of LP-Gas tank under-
neath the motorhome) when the motorhome is in storage. If
this warning is ignored a fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION: Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 200
psi when exposed to direct sunlight. A high pressure safety
relief valve will purge excess high pressure if necessary. LP-Gas
will stop vaporizing as the LP-Gas tank temperature
approaches -40º F. Appliances that consume large amounts of
LP-Gas, such as the water heater or furnace, will need to be
operated in sequence in extremely cold environments.
Tank Operation:
• Manually open the primary shut-off
valve located on the LP-Gas tank.
• Turn off the primary valve on the
LP-Gas tank when the motorhome
is in between trips.
• Hand tighten the primary valve. Do
not use a wrench or pliers to close
the valve.
• The primary valve is designed to be
closed by hand, over tightening may
permanently damage the valve seat.
