Liquefied Petroleum Gas Fuel Tank Evacuating

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: LPG fuel system is designed to vent excess fuel vapor pressure in high ambient temperatures. The pressure relief valve will vent fuel and should automatically reset itself.

NOTE: If fuel tank(s) are being serviced, perform following procedure or have tank(s) evacuated by trained personnel at a propane fueling station.

Relieve the propane fuel system pressure. See LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS FUEL LINE VENTING .

NOTE: This step must be carried out outside, and according to local regulations.

Slowly disconnect the fuel line. Connect a propane hose to the fuel tank valve and to an approved holding tank supply valve.
Slowly open the supply valve on the fuel tank and the holding tank. If the supply valve is opened too fast, the excess flow valve will close.
Open the fixed liquid level valve on the holding tank. Fully close the supply valves on the fuel and the holding tank if no liquid appears. If liquid is present continue to evacuate the fuel tank. After vehicle tank is evacuated, fully close the supply valves on the fuel and the holding tank. Disconnect the propane hose from both tanks.
