Lp Gas Tank System - Regency ULTRA Owner's Manual

LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM

LP GAS TANK SYSTEM

The LP gas storage tank is mounted underneath the
motorhome and is attached to the vehicle floor. It is
accessible only from outside the vehicle.
Before turning on the LP gas control valve (1) located
in the exterior utility center, make sure all controls
for the various LP gas appliances are in the "OFF"
position to prevent any LP gas from leaking into the
motorhome.
The LP gas supply valve is operated by the LP gas
switch in the exterior utility center. The valve is held
open using 12volt DC power. If the battery is dead or
the battery disconnect is in the "OFF" position, the
LP gas supply valve will automatically close.
NOTE:
The LP Gas Storage Tank is also equipped with a
manually operated
maintenance section of this manual for details.
Refilling the LP Gas Tank
o Shut off the LP gas control valve in the
exterior utility center before filling the tank
or travelling. Always refill an empty LP gas
tank as soon as possible.
o Connect the LP gas supply to the fill
connector.
o Do not overfill your LP gas tank. Stop filling
when liquid appears at the overflow valve
(often called a 10% valve) which contacts the
liquid level at 80% of container capacity,
allowing 20% for expansion.
o Check the LP gas level after refilling by
opening the overflow valve and bleeding gas
in a well-ventilated area until the white liquid
stops emerging from the overflow valve.
Overfilling may cause damage to the
regulator and cause malfunction of LP gas
appliances.
