[VAC] Re: Replacement Refrigerator




Don't believe this.  Go and read the stuff at the site Terry Tyler gave 
you. You'll find that the fridge operates on the same principle whether 
electric or gas heat is used.  If your fridge is much off level, then you 
will develop a block in the flow of the ammonia/hydrogen mixture used in 
this kind of refrigeration.,

The fridge needs to be level, true but for a very different reason.  No 
matter, the important thing is that is needs to be level (whether you're 
using gas OR electric; don't ask how I know this.)

Many recommend that you do not drive with the gas on.  If you do, it would 
be prudent to turn it off while re-fueling.  The constant jiggling of the 
fridge while traveling will keep the refrigerant lines clear and the 
refrigerant circulating.
