My vehicle is a double-decker bus which was made for Disney World in Florida. It is made to look like a 19-teens era tour bus from places like Yellowstone park. It was originally used at Disney World to transport visitors up and down Main Street USA during the day, and as a float in the Main Street Electrical Parade each evening. It was also used at Epcot Center to haul visitors around that great big lake. (Don't seem to have a photo of the bus here at home. I'll find one and post it to this thread tomorrow).
Anyway, I use the bus at our antique car swap meet 2 or 3 times per year, giving our visitors rides. But now I need to replace fuel lines, and need guidance from someone with experience.
About a year ago, it developed a fuel leak in one of the flexible lines, so I drove it to my propane dealer's garage, where their mechanics fixed it for me. But the bus has two tanks, one on each side. And now the other side is leaking badly, and the bus is stuck at the fairgrounds...far away from my propane dealer. I decided to go up there and remove the leaking lines myself, and get new ones made. This seemed to be easy enough, since I knew exactly where my leak was. But when I crawled under the bus and looked at the tank, I was totally lost on what to do. I'm used to propane tanks like you have on a gas barbeque grill. If you get a leak, you just shut the valve, and all is well. But this bus tank has FOUR openings, but only one valve. And of course, the hose that I most need to change goes directly to a port with no valve on it. (See photoI had to turn this photo sideways to post it.)
So now my question: If I remove that hose (the one which goes into the port with the round metal tag behind it, "When liquid appears...etc") will all the propane come blasting out at me?
The tank valve was shut by the driver when he found the leak...but I don't know if that stopped the leak, or if the propane is probably all gone now anyway. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I must move this bus soon, before the county fair. Thanks!
