Operation
To operate any LP gas appliance, the LP gas
tank's service valve must be OPEN. When
first used, or after a refill, there may be some
air in the gas lines that will escape when the
range burner or similar gas valve is opened.
The air may extinguish the match or igniter
the first time or two you attempt to light a
stove burner.
Also remember that when you close the
tank's service valve, some gas will remain
in the lines. To completely bleed the lines of
gas, close the tank valve and light the range
burner. When the flame burns out, turn off
the appliance.
Regulator Pressure
Have the gas regulator checked at the
beginning of each season and whenever a
problem occurs. Proper line pressure is 11
inches of water column. Your RV dealer or gas
supplier can perform this needed check.
Gas Line Check
Check the gas line connectors and all other
connections regularly. To check, turn OFF all
burners and pilot lights. Open all doors and
windows. OPEN the LP gas tanks service
valve and use soapy water or an approved
leak detector fluid to test all line connections.
Do not use products that contain AMMONIA or
CHLORINE. The appearance of bubbles in the
soapy solution indicates a leak. Tighten the
connections with two (2) open-end wrenches
until the bubbles stop. If this does not take
care of the leak, contact your gas dealer. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Gas Tank and Regulator Freeze-Up
LP gas regulator freeze-up can be prevented
if owners are aware of the causes. Freeze-
up may be caused by one of the following:
moisture in the tank, an overfilled tank or a
greater vapor withdrawal demand than the
tank can deliver at a particular temperature.
Freeze-up occurs more frequently in cold
weather since liquid gas does not vaporize
as quickly. This, along with a higher demand,
can cause frosting of the tank and regulator.
Be sure to have your LP gas supplier add
ANHYDROUS METHANOL before filling the
tank in cold weather.
Moisture may enter the tank in the LP gas
through condensation if air is allowed to
enter the tank through an open valve. This
can be avoided by using moisture-free gas
and keeping all tank valves CLOSED during
storage. If moisture is present, have the tank
purged by an authorized dealer and have
him add the proper amount of ANHYDROUS
METHANOL for your tank. An overfilled tank
can allow liquid gas, rather than the needed
vapor, to flow through the regulator. This can
result in erratic regulator delivery pressure,
improper appliance operation and possible
frosting of the regulator and gas line. This
can be avoided by following the procedures
outlined in the Filling LP Gas Bottles section.
Always contact your local gas supplier for
current procedures.
Hose Replacement
The flexible LP gas hoses connected to your
LP tank should be checked frequently for
signs of deterioration and may need to be
replaced every two to three years. Be sure to
replace the hoses with approved and properly
rated products.
