Propane Gas; Propane Gas Supply - Winnebago 2009 Adventurer Operator's Manual

PROPANE GAS SUPPLY

The propane gas system supplies fuel for the
gas range/oven, water heater, furnace, and
refrigerator (while in gas mode). When used and
handled properly, this system is safe and
economical and provides modern living
conveniences wherever you travel.
How Propane Gas Works
Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum)
gas compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. Propane gas may also
be called tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
Propane is used by appliances in vapor form
only, but is stored in the tank as a liquid under
very high pressure. As the liquid gas is released,
it reverts back to a vapor and expands to many
times its compressed volume.
Propane Tank System
The storage reservoir for the propane gas
system is a horizontally mounted tank which is
permanently attached to the vehicle frame. The
tank is accessible only from the outside of the
vehicle.

WARNING
Do not alter or remove propane tank
gauge at any time.
Refilling Propane Tank
Since the propane tank is permanently
mounted to the frame, the motor home must be
taken to a propane dealership for filling. Do not
attempt to remove the propane tank from the
vehicle. The tank is equipped with a fill adapter
with both internal and external threads, which
allows easy filling with any propane filling
equipment. The tank is full when liquid propane
gas appears at the overflow valve.
NOTE: The propane tank is equipped with an
automatic 80% stop-fill device.
