1982PT40 propane leak protocal

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Jerry:

Any LP leak is a potential explosive danger. The leak from the refer would
smell more like amonia than ethyl mercapita (lp aditive) The leak could be
coming form the valve on the back of the refer or from the secondary
regulator there. Switch off the sensor under the refer. Then close the main
valve at the tank proper. A mobile RV tech, one who has an electronic lp
sniffer can locate the leak, but more importantly he will be able to do a
pressure drop test to make sure, in fact, you have a leak.
