process will burn any LP remaining in the fuel lines. Turn off the key.

male coupling (e) on the discharge valve. Move the fuel supply hose away from
the empty LP cylinder.

cylinder off the tank mount (b). Return the empty LP cylinder to your gas
supplier for refilling.

even though the fuel gauge indicates that the cylinder is empty.

full LP cylinders.
