LPG Filling Instructions
For your and others safety, please do keep in mind following steps before filling LPG in your car
- For your comfort and convenience, Most of the LPG refueling instructions are located within existing petrol service stations.
- One should park the car within easy reach of the filler hose.
- LPG/ Autogas refuelling is simple and efficient, carried out in much the same way as other petroleum products (diesel/ Petrol), with a nozzle designed to lock onto the filling connector of the vehicle.
- European filler might require the adapter to connect nozzle to filler.
- Once connected, simply press and hold down a button on the dispenser until the required amount of fuel has been delivered or the tank is full.
- Connect nozzle and turn barrel quarter clockwise to lock. Do not squeeze lever before nozzle is connected
- Pull back lever and latch into place. Ensure lever is latched securely.
- Push 'Fill Button' on dispenser and hold until fill is complete or desired amount reached. Note that there is a small time delay before fuel deliver
- Squeeze back lever and release latch prelase lever fully. Do not place hands on barrel untill after the gas has released. A small release of gas will occur as you release the lver. This is Normal
- Turn barrel anti-clockwise quarter turn to release nozzle from vehicle. Replace nozzle in holder on dispenser.
- LPG tanks are fitted with a safety valve that stops the flow once the tank has reached its maximum safe filling level.
- If possible, avoid the type of forecourt pump that has unnecessary retracting cable attached to the filling hose (close to the filler gun) - Its constant pull on the filler hose makes attaching the filler gun to your filler point very difficult indeed and can loosen/ damage the filler.
- Please comply with all the safety rules displayed at the pump for filling the fuel.
- Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, live in Green Environment and be proud of it.
IMPORTANT! LPG will change its size (density) when ambient pressure and temperature changes. You will get much less LPG into a tank on a hot day with low ambient pressure than you will on a cold day with high ambient pressure. Also, there is the actual content of the filling pump's tank to consider, if that is nearly empty then you cannot fill your tank as you would from a full filler tank and pump.
