LIQUID PETROLEUM
GAS SYSTEM
17
L.iquified petroleum (LP) gas is the energy source for your range,
oven furnace, and water heater.
It
is also an alternate power
source for your LP Gas/Electric refrigerator.
LP gas is a colorless gas, but is stored under pressure as a
liquid. It is commercially available under such names as Butane,
Propane, or other brand names. Though odorless in a natural
state, LP gas is always odorized to have a smell like garlic for
easy detection in the event of a leak. The gas and the liquid tank
in which it is stored are safe and convenient, provided sensible
precautions are followed.
USING LP GAS SYSTEM AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Your gas system will function well at low temperatures, provided
the components are kept at a temperature above the boiling
point of the gas.
NOTE: Butane turns to a gas at about 32"F and propane
vaporizes at about 40"F.
Follow these suggestions
10
keep gas appliances working
smoothly.
1. Choose a type of LP gas which has a boiling point lower
than any temperature you expect to encounter. Ask your LP
gas supplier or your motor home dealer for information on
products available in your area.
2. Do not fill LP gas containers to more than 80% of capacity.
Over filling is dangerous.
If, despite precaution, the gas flow to your appliance should fail
at low temperatures, the stoppage may be due to ice in the LP
gas regulatqr as a result of condensed moisture. Try melting the
ice by warming the regulator, using a small light bulb on an
extension cord - NOT AN OPEN FLAME. Once flow is restored,
make certain that regulator cap is properly installed to prevent
water from entering the regulator which will cause it to freeze
again. If the problem persists, ask your LP gas supplier to
service the tank or regulator, removing the moistl're or adding an
ice-inhibitor as required.
FILLING THE CHASSIS-MOUNTED LP GAS TANK
To fill the chassis-mounted storage tank, drive the vehicle to a
LP gas supplier or one of the service stations which sell LP gas.
Look under Gas, Liquefied Petroleum, Bottled and BUlk, in your
classified directory or refer to the service directory available at
your dealer. For additional information, refer to instructions for
your gas appliances provided in your Owner's Information Kit.
