"Purging" the LPG tank ... February 01, 2005, 07:53:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 50238Here is Al's answer re: the importance of purging the LPG tank before the first fill:"The purging is fairly important. The manufacturer usually puts no propane in the coach, but uses another source for their tests. The filling and purging should be done at the dealership. I do know that up here it is getting better, but I do know that there are not many in the USA that give it much consideration.Some of the problems are with pilots, etc. But the biggest issue is that if the cylinder had air in it when it was filled with propane, then it can be under far greater pressure when propane is put in the container then if it only had pure propane."

Since we've never had any problems with any of our LP appliances, I'm assuming that they do -- or we've just been lucky.Linda & Earl2004 23.5' Red TK From Quartzsite, AZ
