Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow these precautions:
Always shut OFF the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc.,
while refueling.
Do not run the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc., in con-
fined areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than needed to move your RV in
or out of the area.
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped)
to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the RV have the cause determined
and corrected as soon as possible.
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper operation
of the RV ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves or other
obstructions at all times.
See the
Occupant Safety
section of this manual for additional information on carbon mon-
oxide safety.
Propane Gas System
Propane or LP (liquefied petroleum) gas is an efficient form of energy when proper handling
and safety precautions are observed. The propane system in yourfurnishes the fuel for cook-
ing, heating, hot water and can be an alternative energy source for refrigeration
Propane is heavier than air; and tends to flow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket in
these low areas, such as the floor. Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a propane alarm
(refer to the
Safety Precaution
section, Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane
Alarm).
The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane con-
tainer, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing to each appliance.
Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your selling
dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system checked at
all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the initial filling
of the propane tanks.
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once a
year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your normal maintenance is
recommended. Hand tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as
over tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside RV. LP-gas cylinders
are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by discharging gas into
the atmosphere.
NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time
of manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before
retail delivery.
