13.5.1 LPG refueling
▪ LPG is heavier than air, and can accumulate in low areas and even on clothing. Any flame
or spark can cause a fire and lead to a serious accident.
▪ Always refuel in the designated area. Check that the supplier is equipped with proper con
nections to ensure a secure supply.
▪ Always exchange tanks when refueling with LPG.
▪ When exchanging LPG tanks, always visually check the connections for damage or other
abnormalities. Be careful so that the LPG hose will not be caught by the tank or bracket. If
a gas leak occurs, do not start the engine and request repairs immediately.
▪ When the LPG tank needs refilling, ask the LPG station attendant to fill the tank. Never at
tempt to fill the tank yourself. This is extremely dangerous.
