Use extreme care when fueling your motorhome. Always shut OFF the engine, do not use cellular phones, do not smoke, and shut OFF all pilot lights before adding fuel. Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard. Never restart the engine or relight pilot lights while fuel vapor is present. Static electricity-related incidents when refueling is possible. They can happen most often during cold and dry climate conditions. Static-related incidents may result in a brief flash fire occurring at the fill point when the nozzle contacts the fuel tank. A build-up of static electricity can also be caused by entering a vehicle during fueling. If you return to the fuel fill pump during refueling, the static may discharge at the fill point, causing a flash fire or sustained fire with fuel vapors.
You can minimize these and other potential fueling hazards by following safe refueling procedures:
DANGER
Potentially explosive fuel vapor may be present at fuel filling stations and during refueling. NEVER enter a fuel filling station or refuel equipment if your furnace or water heater is operating or if your refrigerator is operating on propane. Both the flame and the igniters in the burners of these appliances are sources of ignition and could cause an explosion. These appliances must be turned OFF before entering a fuel filling station or refueling equipment. Turning OFF the propane main tank valve only is not sufficient. The appliances must be OFF at their electrical operating switches.
Before dispensing fuel, turn OFF all engines, fuel-burning appliances, and their igniters (see operating instructions). Do NOT dispense fuel within 20 feet (6.1M) of an ignition source. May cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
