Propane System (Continued)
Roadtrek recommends that you take your van to a qualified LPG retailer to fill the tank. While filling, turn off all propane appliances, then turn off the
tank shutoff valve.
We recommend that you use only propane from certified LPG retailers.
If you smell propane or your propane detector sounds, immediately get all occupants out of the vehicle and turn the manual shutoff valve off. Wait
for the propane to dissipate. Once the smell is gone, take the vehicle to a qualified repair facility to find and fix the problem before using the propane
system again. If closing the manual shutoff valve does not stop the propane leak and you still smell propane, do not attempt to start, drive, occupy
or otherwise use the vehicle in the presence of a propane smell.
Under no circumstances should anyone fill the tank to more than 80% capacity; doing so can cause liquid propane to flow into the regulators. If this
happens the regulators will have to be replaced. The relief valve with the blue plastic cover will automatically vent propane if the tank is overfilled or
overheats. This is not a user-serviceable item; never attempt to remove the cover, test, or otherwise interfere with the operation of this valve.
Sometimes an overfilled tank will not start venting until the temperature rises. If this valve should open, it is best to remove all sources of ignition
and expeditiously leave the area until propane odor is no longer detectable. Venting unburned propane is a slightly more advantageous situation
than a tank explosion, which is what this valve is designed to prevent.
Propane tanks shall not be placed or stored inside your vehicle. Propane tanks are equipped with safety devices which relieve
excessive pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
To reduce the danger of fire or explosion do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside your vehicle.
Purchase propane from a reputable propane facility. Contaminated propane is a common cause of system failure.
The auxiliary BBQ outlet is regulated to 15 P.S.I. If you are using an external grill with this hookup, ensure that the appliance is
rated for that pressure or has its own regulator for lower pressure.
