LPG installation. The bottles need to be either individually secured or held by a latched lid. The locker is to be lined with corrosion resistant materials, and able to be opened from the top, via a gasketed lid that is latched tightly, but able to be quickly and conveniently opened without tools. There are dedicated LPG lockers available. They must be mounted to meet the above parameters. Warning plaque(s) - Must be


mounted in the immediate vicinity of the LPG installation and be clearly visible.


Printed instructions - These, plus

fittings are installed and then tested with air pressure of greater or equal to 5 PSI before the regulator or appliance(s) are connected. Check the tank valve where it screws into the tank for leaks by applying leak detection fluid (ammonia-free soap and water) before you connect it to the system. Then, with the system completely connected and appliance valves off, open and close the tank valve. Observe the pressure gauge reading. This pressure should remain constant for not less than 3 minutes. If a leak is indicated by a drop in pressure, check the entire system with your detection fluid to locate it by watching for soap bubbles. Gas sensor - If you choose a


solenoid valve control panel with a gas sensor and automatic shut-off, your boat will be protected from a massive propane leak into the bilges. Carbon Monoxide Alarm - This


alarm will help protect anybody on board from any propane appliance which produces CO2. (CO2 comes from incomplete combustion when the burner is not working at 100% efficiency.) All this is meant as a guide to


installing, modifying, maintaining, and testing your LPG system. Always follow equipment manufacturer’s installation instructions, and if you do not feel very secure about what you are doing, ask for help or hire a professional to install your system.
