6 ROPA AUTO LESSON 1: OVERVIEW OF PROPANE INTRODUCTION This lesson provides general information about propane. You will learn about what propane is, U.S. production, and how propane powers fleet vehicles around the country. It also provides information about the benefits of using this safe alternative fuel. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Identify the different types of organizations that use autogas. 2 3

7 WHAT IS PROPANE AND WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? Propane is a hydrocarbon. It is also known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas, LP-Gas, or LPG. Propane is produced domestically during oil refining and natural gas processing. USES OF PROPANE Millions in the U.S. use propane every day. Home uses include furnaces, water heaters, generators, outdoor grills, fireplaces, and kitchen appliances. Farm uses include pest control, crop dryers, and power irrigation pumps. Industrial uses include propane-powered forklifts and fleet vehicles. Commercial uses, such as restaurants and hotels, include heating, cooking, and other uses. Companies are using propane to power vehicles and fleets; propane used to fuel vehicles is called autogas. AUTOGAS GLOBALLY Autogas has been used to power vehicles for nearly 100 years. By 2020, autogas vehicles sold will surpass 1.4 million, and more than an estimated 22 million vehicles will run on autogas. FUELING SITE EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE SAFETY DEVICES Autogas tanks are safe. Propane tanks are more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks. Fueling site equipment and vehicles have safety devices: Propane is dispensed in a closed system. Dispensing equipment uses low emission release transfer. Use of emergency shutoff devices. Propane vehicles are fitted with safety devices that prevent overfilling, and devices and shut-off valves that function automatically. BUSINESSES AND VEHICLES THAT USE AUTOGAS Light duty vehicles, delivery trucks, and vans. Public transportation and specialty vehicles. Transit buses, school buses, and shuttle buses. U.S. National Park Service. Taxicabs. Law enforcement vehicles. Consumer market is growing. ROPA AUTO LESSON 2: PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOGAS INTRODUCTION In this lesson you will learn how autogas properties relate to safety at the fueling site. You will learn how to detect propane, and how propane reacts in a gas or in a liquid form. You will also learn that propane is non-toxic, but can be a frostbite hazard. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Recognize how autogas properties relate to safety at the fueling site. AUTOGAS IN THE U.S. More than 143,000 in the U.S. are powered by propane autogas, including buses, taxis, delivery vehicles, and other fleet vehicles. Refueling a propane vehicle takes about the same time as refueling a gasoline vehicle. In many communities, there are public propane autogas refueling stations to supplement private, on-site refueling. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS / ADVANTAGES OF USING AUTOGAS? Propane is plentiful, affordable, and produced in the U.S. Propane is safe. Autogas is non-toxic and presents no hazards to soil and groundwater. Propane is environmentally friendly. Autogas is one of the cleanest burning fuels. 4 5

8 LESSON 2: PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOGAS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PROPANE The information below describes properties and characteristics of propane, and what this means to you when you are working around propane. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available from propane suppliers or distributors and must be available and accessible to all employees at the workplace. The SDS provides important information on propane including physical properties, health effects, first aid, safety precautions, and personal protective equipment (PPE). PROPANE PROPERTIES / CHARACTERISTICS: PROPANE VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: If propane escapes, vapor can accumulate in low-lying areas. However, air currents can sometimes carry propane vapors elsewhere. If you breathe a higher concentration of propane vapor it takes the place of oxygen in your lungs. What this means to you: Inhaling higher concentrations of propane vapor may cause lightheadedness, dizziness, and drowsiness. PROPANE PROPERTIES / CHARACTERISTICS: ODOR In its natural state, propane is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: A strong, unpleasant-smelling chemical is added to propane so you can detect it. The chemical added to propane makes it smell like rotten eggs, a skunk s spray, or a dead animal. You should respond immediately to even a faint odor of propane. What this means to you: If for any reason you cannot recognize the smell of propane, notify your supervisor. NON-TOXIC Excessive inhalation of propane vapor may cause unconsciousness or even death, due to asphyxiation. Propane is environmentally friendly; if released it will not affect water, air, soil, or you except: What this means to you: Propane liquid is very cold and may cause freeze burns or frostbite. If inhaled in high concentration, it takes the place of oxygen in your lungs. KEPT UNDER PRESSURE VERY COLD Your safety could depend on your ability to smell propane in the event of a leak. Propane is stored and transported as a liquid under pressure. When released into the atmosphere, liquid propane appears as a white cloud or fog at the point of discharge. What this means to you: Propane is transferred during the vehicle fueling process by a closed, pressurized system; this keeps it in a liquid state. If liquid propane leaks, it will turn into a vapor. When you complete the autogas fueling process, you may see, smell, or hear a small release of propane from the nozzle. Propane becomes very cold when released to the atmosphere. What this means to you: If propane liquid leaks onto your skin, it can cause frostbite or freeze burns. LIQUID PROPANE EXPANDS SIGNIFICANTLY AND RAPIDLY AS IT VAPORIZES Propane is non-toxic and therefore will not harm the environment. One part of liquid propane will expand to become 270 parts propane vapor. If a gallon of liquid propane is released it turns into 270 times that volume as vapor. What this means to you: Because of the large expansion rate, a liquid propane leak can be more hazardous than a propane vapor leak. While any propane leak is serious, a liquid propane leak may become much larger than a propane vapor leak. Wear gloves or other personal protective equipment (PPE) resistant to propane when filling a vehicle. Check and follow employer requirements for PPE. LIQUID PROPANE EXPANDS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES In pressurized tanks, propane liquid expands 1.5 percent for every 10-degree rise in temperature of the liquid. Propane tanks are usually filled to only 80% of their capacity to allow room for propane to expand with an increase in temperature. Vehicles that use autogas for fuel have safety devices to prevent overfilling the vehicle tank. What this means to you: Remember that propane liquid expands with an increase in temperature. A 20-gallon tank would be filled with only 16 gallons of propane. Because autogas tanks have an overfilling prevention device to allow room for expansion, the flow of propane automatically stops when the overfill prevention device signals the tank is 80% full. (Continued on next page.) (Continued on next page.) 6 7

9 PROPANE PROPERTIES / CHARACTERISTICS: FLAMMABILITY AND IGNITION WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: UNSAFE CONDITIONS: PROPANE, IGNITION, AND FIRE Three ingredients are needed to start and sustain combustion fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source. Minimize possible ignition sources that could lead to combustion. UNSAFE CONDITIONS: BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES Propane is a fuel; it will ignite and burn under the right conditions. Propane is safe when properly stored, handled, transported, and used. Immediately react to any propane leak. Always check and follow the fueling site s safety procedures. Avoid ignition sources around propane. ROPA AUTO LESSON 3: TYPES AND BASIC OPERATION OF AUTOGAS DISPENSERS INTRODUCTION In this lesson you will learn about the types and basic operation of autogas dispensers, including equipment and features most commonly used at fueling sites. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the different types of autogas dispensers. Identify autogas dispenser safety devices and explain and why these items are used when dispensing autogas. Describe when to use an emergency shutoff, and what actions you should take in this situation. No smoking. Do not strike matches or light a cigarette lighter. Avoid sources of static electricity. Do not use cell phones and other electronic devices. Always turn off vehicle engine before refueling. 8 9

10 LESSON 3:TYPES AND BASIC OPERATION OF AUTOGAS DISPENSERS FEATURES OF AUTOGAS VEHICLES Vehicle fuel systems are closed, pressurized systems to keep the propane in its liquid state. Vehicle tank fill valves have threaded connections, so the dispenser nozzle can be connected and tightened to the fill valve. Autogas vehicle tanks are filled to only 80%. An overfilling prevention device, located in the fuel tank, stops fueling when the fuel level reaches 80%. FEATURES OF AUTOGAS DISPENSERS Autogas dispensing systems are very similar to gasoline or diesel dispensing systems, with a few important differences: Autogas dispensers are closed, pressurized systems to keep the propane in its liquid state. Autogas dispensers use a nozzle that has a closed, threaded connection to maintain pressure while transferring propane. To dispense propane safely, be familiar with the specific equipment you are working with and how to use it. COMPONENTS:: DISPENSER DISPLAY LOW EMISSION NOZZLE NOTES HOSE ASSEMBLY EMERGENCY SHUTOFF

11 ROPA AUTO LESSON 4: AUTOGAS DISPENSER OPERATION INTRODUCTION In this lesson you will learn about general safety when dispensing autogas. You will also learn the general actions to perform when you dispense autogas into a vehicle. As dispensing systems vary, always follow your specific fueling site instructions when you dispense autogas. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Identify general safety guidelines you should follow when dispensing autogas. Identify emergency safety procedures and actions you should take when dispensing autogas. List the general actions, in order, to dispense autogas into a vehicle

12 LESSON 4: AUTOGAS DISPENSER OPERATION VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION Propane identification decals are mounted on the lower right rear of the vehicle (above the bumper). Decal is black, diamond shaped with a luminous light silver or white border, and with the word PROPANE. Notes: PROPANE TANK SAFETY FEATURES Autogas tanks have automatic safety devices that prevent overfilling. Autogas vehicle tanks are more puncture resistant, and withstand more pressure when compared with a gasoline tank. Notes: SAFE DISPENSING HABITS Keep the dispensing area clear except for objects necessary for dispensing. Vehicle ignition must be off before dispensing autogas. All ignition sources must be a minimum of 25 feet away from the refueling site. ΩΩ ΩΩ ΩΩ ΩΩ Do not strike matches or light a cigarette lighter. Do not smoke. Avoid sources of static electricity. Do not use cell phones. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS It is a code requirement that at least one fire extinguisher be easily accessible at the fueling site. It is important to note that fire extinguishers are not intended to put out propane fires and can only cover a limited area when used. They are effective, however, for small fires, such as those involving combustible materials, and can be helpful in creating an escape route for personnel. Always look for the fire extinguisher at your fueling site prior to refueling. Be aware of fueling site policies or procedures. Report any propane leaks immediately

13 LESSON 4: AUTOGAS DISPENSER OPERATION UNCONTROLLED PROPANE LEAKS AND FIRES Any uncontrolled release of propane or a fire can be extremely dangerous. Know the location of your fueling site s emergency shutdown device(s). Always place safety first! PROPANE EMERGENCY ACTIONS Follow these steps: GENERAL PROCESS TO DISPENSE AUTOGAS Just like a gasoline station and gasoline dispenser, each autogas fueling site and dispenser will have instructions on how to use the dispensing equipment. The equipment at different fueling sites varies, so always follow instructions for equipment at your fueling site. For more information, refer to Propane Autogas Dispenser Specifications in Resources. The autogas dispensing process varies, based on the type of nozzle used. The steps below are based on using a typical nozzle for autogas fueling. Follow these steps: 1. Shut down the dispenser. Use the emergency shutoff(s). 1. Turn off the vehicle. 2. Immediately evacuate the area. Immediately, everyone in the affected area should move to a safe distance from the spill or leak. Do not re-enter the area. 2. Know personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements and follow them. 3. Check there are no open flames or other ignition sources within 25 feet near the vehicle refueling. 3. Call for help. After you are at a safe distance from the affected area, call 911 or the local fire department. 4. Open the fuel door, and then unscrew the dust cap from the fill valve. 4. When help arrives, do not interfere. Emergency responders, including firefighters, HAZMAT crews, and emergency medical technicians are the only personnel qualified to provide leadership in emergencies involving propane. When the emergency response team arrives, do not interfere. Your fueling site should have specific instructions for you to follow in both routine and emergency situations. Be aware of and follow fueling site policies or procedures. 5. Check the seal, gasket or O-ring for any tears, breaks, or cuts. If damaged or missing, do not dispense until replaced. (Continued on next page.) 16 17

14 LESSON 4: AUTOGAS DISPENSER OPERATION 6. Remove the nozzle from the dispenser. 12. After unscrewing the nozzle: Return the nozzle to the dispenser. Replace the cap on the fill valve; and Shut the fuel fill door. 7. Screw the nozzle tightly on the fill valve, ensuring a proper fit. An improper fit could cause a leak. Improperly threaded nozzle on the fill valve may lead to a dangerous leak. 13. If applicable, record refueling information. 8. Activate the dispenser (this varies by the equipment, push to start button shown here). 9. Pull the handle on the dispenser nozzle to start fueling. When the fuel level in the tank reaches 80% storage capacity, the fuel flow will automatically stop (varies by the equipment). 10. Release the handle, then deactivate the dispenser (varies by equipment). 11. When you release the handle and/ or unscrew the nozzle, a small release of autogas vapor may occur. If more than a short release occurs, follow fueling site instructions to resolve. (Continued on next page.) 18 19
