appear at the leaky points. When tightening connections, use two
wrenches with opposing torque to prevent twisting of copper tubing.
If the leak doesn't show up in the manifold or copper tubing
d-istribution system, then check the appliances.
E.P.-GAS REGULATOR SETTING
Never attempt to reset the gas regulator yourseif. Have an
authorized service agency make any regulator adjustments. Even a
little amount of pressure over the recommended setting can cause
damage to appliances and regulators. This pressure setting must be
performed with a gas pressure gauge or monometer. Follow the
instructions given by the manufacturer of the regulator.
If you travel alternately on
wet
roads and in freezing weather, be sure
your E.P.-gas regulator is protected from road spray. It'
water
enters
the vent in the regulator it may freeze the pressure controlling
diaphragm in the open position so that the container pressure is
applied to the appliances--a hazardous condition. Keep your
regulator clean and dry. Follow the instructions given by t h e
manufacturer of the regulator.
CAUTION: Never smoke during fillirmg of L.P.-tanks. Keep the R.V.
away Erom immediate
filIEng
area
when possible or
extinguish all gas
pilot lights.
When a L.P.-tank gets low. sometimes there is a concentration of
0
garlic-like odor which may be mistaken for a gas leak,
if
gas is being
burned. After changeover to a full tank, the odor usually will soon
disaeuear. Over-filled tanks will sometimes "blow off" excess
L I
pressure when exposed to direct sunlight or hot temperatures. If this
becomes objectionable, remove the tank, take to a safe area, and
open the supply line valve to allow excess pressure to escape.
LP.-GAS CONSUMPTION
Most gas appliances are only operated intermittently. Unless there is
heavy use of hot water, water heater consumption is not too great.
During freezing weather and high wind conditions, furnace
consumption can be extremeIy heavy.
L.P.-gas consumption depends upon individual use of appliances and
the length of time operated. Each gallon of L.P.-gas produces about
91,500 BTU's
of heat energy. Following is a list of typical ap'pliance
consumption when turned full on for one hour of operation:
