Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is available from
an approved storage container to operate your
range, oven, furnace and water heater, and as an
alternate energy source for some refrigerators.
With proper handling precautions, LP gas is safe
and provides modem conveniences wherever
you travel. LP gas is stored as a liquid under
pressure and vaporizes under the control of a
pressure regulator.
A typical LP gas tank installation is illustrated
below. Although specific details of the system
may differ in your motor home, the major com-
ponents and their relationships will be similar to
those shown.

LP GAS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LP gas is a safe and reliable fuel. As with any
other volatile and flammable material, common
sense dictates that LP gas be handled and used
with respect and caution. Because LP gas sys-
tems are so reliable, they are often taken for
granted. Neglect can be a very dangerous habit.
If the system is maintained regularly, you can
expect almost trouble free operation.
The first time you have your LP gas tank filled,
have the serviceman bleed a little LP gas out of
the small outage valve (this also lets you check
that the bottle is not overfilled) and note the
odor described as garlic/rotten egg like for
future reference. A small number of people can-
not smell this odor; if you are one of these you
must take extra care whenever you use your
motor home.
Keep the tank valve closed and tum off all
appliances if the unit is not being used.
