Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide, and other
similar publications, list refueling stations . Many travel
parks sell propane . Before filling the propane tank, shut
off pilot lights, appliances and igniters to prevent a
fire or explosion . Have a trained service person fill the
propane tank .
The tank must be filled to the proper level to allow
for expansion . An over-filled tank may cause the tank
safety valve to release pressure emitting a strong rotten
egg odor near the tank and/or a hissing noise .

fumes can cause serious injury or death .
