3.

DO

NOT

use

LP

gas

while

The

main

LP

must

be

shut

off

while

traveling

because

of

the

danger

of

a

fire

or

explosion

if

an

LP

gas

line

under

pressure

were

ruptured

in

an

accident.

In

addition

to

being

unsafe,

it

is

ILLEGAL

in

some

states

to

operate

a

gas

appliance

while

the

vehicle

is

in
