===Fuel Requirements===

Liquefied petroleum gas is a material composed of various hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, or a mixture thereof. In its gaseous form (vaporized) it is colorless and has a garlic-scented additive to ensure detection. In addition to being highly inflammable, it is also dangerous to inhale. For ease of transportation and storage, LPG is compressed into a liquid state and stored, in this form, within the LPG tank. As fuel is used, vapor passes from the top of the tank into the two stage pressure regulator and to the various gas appliances.

Prevent condensation and possible regulator or line freeze-ups , when filling the tank, by requesting the dealer to add a small amount of Methyl Alcohol to the fill-up . A common mixture is one ounce of Methyl Alcohol to each 20 pounds of LPG.

=== Filling the LP Gas Tank ===

===Filling the LP Gas Tank===

When the tank is being filled, the Service valve must be Closed and the 80% liquid level valve (20% vapor valve) must be Open. The 80% Auto stop fill valve may close before liquid appears at the 80% liquid level valve, but if liquid does appear, stop filling immediately ; the tank is filled to its LP capacity. Close the liquid level valve. Do not use a wrench to tighten this or the Service valve; they are designed to be closed leak-tight by hand. If you cannot hand-tighten properly , the valve probably needs repair or replacement.

=== LP Gas and Vapor Detectors ===

===LP Gas and Vapor Detectors===

The Gas/Smoke alarm, on the monitor panel , has sensors at various locations through the coach and sounds an alarm if the safe amount of LP gas or carbon monoxide in air is exceeded . The LP gas leakage detector below the refrigerator door monitors the area near the refrigerator and the range, sounding an alarm and actuating the LP gas solenoid shut-off valve if a leak is sensed.

=== Regulator Pressure ===

===Regulator Pressure===

The two stage pressure regulator regulates the pressure of the LPG supplied to the appliances. The regulator functions automatically and is factory-preset to provide the correct line pressure. Do Not attempt to tamper with or reset the regulator! Even a small variation above the normal gas line pressure can be sufficient to create a dangerous situation and cause possible damage to individual appliance components. If there is any doubt about the regulator setting it can be checked by your Wanderlodge ® dealer or LPG supplier. The correct setting is 11-14 inch water column.

=== Operation ===

===Operation===

To operate any LPG appliance , the main gas (Service) valve , figure 6-1, must be Open. At each furn ace there is a shut-off valve that must be opened prior to use. When first used , or after a refill, there may be some air in the gas lines which will escape when you open a range burner or similar LP gas valve . The air may extinguish your match or igniter the first time or two , before you get ignition. Remember , too , that when you close the tank 's Service Valve some of the gas will remain in the lines . To completely bleed the lines of gas, Close the tank 's Service valve and light a range burner to use up the excess . When the flame burns out, turn the range burner Off.

=== Checking For Leaks ===

===Checking For Leaks===

Periodically check the LPG system for possible leakage. Do not wait for an alarm condition to occur before correcting a leak! Although the entire system and associated appliances undergo extensive factory testing for leakage , road shocks and heavy vibrations may loosen or damage piping or fittings. Leaks will usually become noticeable by the characteristic odor of the garlic-scented gas additive. To check, turn off all burners and pilot lights. Open all doors and windows. Open LPG tank service valve and use an ammonia & chlorine free soap-bubble solution on all connections. Any bubbles are evidence of leakage.

=== LPG Consumption ===

===LPG Consumption===

Most gas appliances are intermittently operated.  However, operation during cold weather conditions does cause a heavy use of the gas furnaces. Extensive oven usage also consumes a great deal of fuel. The amount of LPG consumption depends on the total use and manner of use of these appliances. Note that each gallon (4 ¼)lbs of LPG fuel produces approximately 91,500 BTU's of heat energy. The LPG tank used in your coach will furnish over 3 million BTU's. For your guidance in estimating your anticipated fuel consumption, the following is a listing of typical appliance consumption ratings when the appliance is operated for one hour:

# Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.  

#Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.

# Open Window. This warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle , and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time. A warning label has been located near the LP gas container. This label reads.  '''Do not fill container(s) to more than 80 percent of capacity.'''  Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will contain approx - imately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
