Tank Capacity
NOTE
This chart reflects product specifications
available at the time of printing.
NOTE
LP-Gas tank capacity is estimated
based upon calculations provided by
the tank manufacturer and represents
approximate capacity. The actual
“usable capacity” may be greater or
less than the estimated capacity. Actual
full liquid capacity is 80% of full tank
capacity.
Tank Filling
Woodall’s Campground and Trailer Guide, and
other similar publications, list refueling stations.
Many travel parks sell LP-Gas. Before lling the
LP-Gas tank, shut off pilot lights, appliances and
igniters to prevent a re or explosion. Have a
trained service person ll the LP-Gas tank.
WARNING
Before entering a refueling station, turn
off all pilot lights and LP-Gas operated
appliances. Most LP-Gas appliances
used in motorhomes are vented to
the outside. Fuel vapors can enter an
appliance vent on a motorhome that
is parked close to a gasoline pump,
resulting in an explosion or fire.
WARNING
Extinguish all sources of heat, sparks,
flames and smoking materials within a
50’ radius during the fueling process.
The LP-Gas tank ll is located in the roadside
compartment. The tank must be lled to
the proper level to allow for expansion. An
overlled tank may cause the safety valve to
release pressure emitting a strong rotten egg
odor near the tank and/or a hissing noise may be
detected.
WARNING
Small amounts of LP-Gas can escape
and evaporate during the fueling
process. Protect bare skin. Instant
freezing will occur if exposed to
LP-Gas.
LP-Gas exists in both liquid and vapor form
within the tank. A full tank is approximately
80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks are
required to have a safety pressure relief device
to release excess pressure. Actual full liquid
capacity is approximately 80% of full tank
capacity. The monitor panel is adjusted for this
and will indicate full at this point.
NOTE
If the tank is new and being filled for the
first time, inform the service technician
to purge any air from the tank prior to
filling.
Tank Operation
Manually open the primary shut-off
valve located on the LP-Gas tank.
Turn off the primary valve on the LP-
Gas tank when the tank is being lled,
when driving, in between trips and when
in storage.
Hand-tighten the primary valve only. DO
NOT use a wrench or pliers. This will
over-tighten the valve. The primary valve
is designed to be closed by hand. Over-
tightening may permanently damage the
valve seat.
NOTE
In some States and Canadian provinces,
it may be illegal to drive the motorhome
while primary valve on the LP-Gas tank
is open.
