POSSIBLE CAUSE
If the temperature of the propane tank drops
below the dew point, condensation on the
tank may turn to frost or ice. This typically
occurs in humid conditions.
The Propane tank is not equipped with an
Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD).
Propane fuel tank overfilled.
Fuel regulator or fuel hose and fittings not
securely sealed.
Propane fuel regulator vent active.
Residual fuel from the carburetor dispersing
after operation.
Propane fuel line kinked or crushed.
Fuel selector valve not properly positioned.
Gasoline not purged from the carburetor
before switching to propane.
CORRECTION
Providing all the propane fuel handling
equipment is functioning normally, no
correction is needed.
If you suspect your propane fuel tank is not
equipped with an OPD device, discontinue
operation immediately and replace the
propane fuel tank with a propane tank
equipped with a an OPD.
If you suspect your propane fuel tank has
been overfilled, discontinue operation
immediately and return the propane fuel
tank to the place of purchase or refilling.
Using a soap solution check each
connection and tighten as needed.
The propane fuel regulator is equipped
with a vent that will allow a small amount
of propane fuel vapor to escape from
the regulator when the propane tank
valve is opened. This can be normal
providing the venting of the propane is
brief. If you suspect that this is abnormal,
immediately discontinue use and have the
propane regulator inspected by a qualified
technician.
Normal, no correction is needed.
Inspect propane fuel line and remove kinks
or other obstructions.
Rotate the fuel valve fully until the pointer is
directly in line with the desired fuel.
Close the propane fuel tank valve. Move
the fuel selector switch to gas. Start the
engine and allow the engine to run until
the gasoline has been consumed in
the carburetor. Begin propane start up
