Liquid Propane (Lp) Gas System - Tiffin Motorhomes 2014 Allegro Bus Owner's Manual

TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
Liquid propane (LP) gas containers, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids are not to be placed or stored inside the
motor home because a fire or explosion may occur. LP
gas containers are equipped with safety valves that may
relieve excess pressure by discharging gas into the
atmosphere—any containment of that vented LP gas
constitutes an explosive hazard.
• NEVER use an open flame to test for LP gas leaks or to examine the fluid levels in the fuel tanks.
• After filling any LP system, immediately replace and secure all protective covers and caps.
• After closing the LP valve, close and securely latch the LP door to prevent unintentional access or damage.
• NEVER connect natural gas to the LP gas system—LP gas and natural gas are not interchangeable.
• NEVER use any other "burning" equipment (e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane lights, propane
lights) inside the motor home—doing so may cause fires and/or asphyxiation.

Liquid Propane (LP) Gas System

A warning label is conspicuously located near the LP gas container (Figure 2-4); that label reads:
DO NOT FILL the LP Container(s) to more than 80% of capacity.
Any overfilling of the LP gas container(s) can result in uncontrolled gas flow—a
prime condition for a fire or explosion. The LP container should only be filled to 80%
of its capacity; the remainder of the cylinder space is vapor space to contain
expansion of that liquid when subjected to varying ambient-temperature conditions.
Filling in excess of 80% of the liquid volume of the container reduces that vapor
space and, thus, creates a condition for possible over-pressurization of the
