Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You may need two or more 100-pound tanks
or one larger tank in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the
proper supply system.
WARNING
Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after preparation or servicing.
Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap
