Subject:Fridge blows out on propane
From:puzerewski
Date:Sun, 6 May 2001 06:59:08 -0400

Help needed.  My fridge runs on all 3 settings, but, in a Westy I just
bought the fridge blows out on propane when going down the road.

Now for those of you that feel that a person should not drive with the
fridge on propane, please do not flame, or bother to lecture me.  I
personally find running the fridge on propane is more efficient then on 12v
when driving, and feel there are no inherent risks of explosion from a flame
the size of a match and a 1/4 inch steel tank.

Anyone repair this problem?  I am quite familiar with the fridges, for I
have repaired a few of them in the past, but never encountered this before.

TIA
