SAFETY
FUELS FOR THE MOTORHOME
Liquid propane (LP) gas containers, gasoline,
or other flammable liquids must not be
placed or stored inside the motorhome
because a fire or explosion might occur. LP
gas containers (Figure 2-2) are equipped with
safety valves that might relieve excess
pressure by discharging gas into the
Figure 2-2: LP Tank
atmosphere—any containment of that vented
LP gas constitutes an explosive hazard.
Your motorhome is designed to use low sulfur
fuel only for the engine used in the routine
operation of the motorhome—these require
prudent and safe handling to ensure safety of
the motorhome and its occupants; namely:
All pilot lights, appliances, and their ignitors
must be turned OFF before refuelling of
motor fuel tanks or propane containers. A
failure to comply could result in serious
injury or death.
Anytime the motor fuel is to be filled, turn
OFF the motorhome engine, all pilot lights,
and appliances.
DO NOT SMOKE when refilling the fuel
tank.
NEVER use an open flame to test for LP gas leaks or to examine the fluid levels in the fuel tanks.
After filling any LP system, immediately replace and secure all protective covers and caps.
After closing the LP valve, close and securely latch the LP door to prevent unintentional access or
damage.
NEVER connect natural gas to the LP gas system—LP gas and natural gas are not interchangeable.
When lighting range burners, do not turn burner controls ON and allow the gas to escape before
lighting.
NEVER use any other “burning” equipment (e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane lights,
propane lights) inside the motorhome. Doing so might cause fires and/or asphyxiation.
