IT will take a long time to use up the butane in your tank by running the

appliances. Remember, butane will not burn below 32 degree F. So if you go camping and it is below freezing, you will not have heat. The best way to purge the tank is to hook it up to a huge propane space heater and run it for about 3 hours. Then fill it up with Propane. -----Original Message-----

Subject: [ev_update] Re: Another propane tank mystery I have heard in the past that the EVCs come with butane in the tank. Maybe after you run your appliances a while and deplete your tank, everything will be fine. Congratulations on your new EVC. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has for my son and I. We have suffered some problems since purchasing our new EVC in June but with the good, knowledgeable people of this list you are in good hands. What state do you live in? -----Original Message----- From: Charles Bragg [mailto:cgbragg@...] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 12:06 AM To: ev_update@... Subject: [ev_update] Another propane tank mystery On my new EVC there seemed to be no propane. The internal monitor lights showed 2/3, but none of the appliances would work. The stovetop burners did not seem to be exhaling *anything*. So, mumbling about inconsiderate dealers, I took it to the gas man this morning. He told me it was half full, and proved it by maxing out the refill at 1.4 gallons. And now everything works! So what was it half full of, water? ;-) Anybody know what's going on? -- Chuck 99 EVC 238 miles. ======== Chuck Bragg, Santa Monica Bay Audubon cgbragg@... fax: 209-671-6396 ======== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn2 Avoid Junk Mail.
