Section 4, Installing the Fuel System


recommended size for the fuel line is ¼” I.D. The fuel return line
should return to the fuel supply tank.

The following is recommended for the fuel system installation:

The fuel supply from the fuel storage tank to the fuel inlet must be
from a dedicated fuel pickup on the top of the tank.

NOTICE

• The fuel supply line should be installed with minimal rise from

the fuel tank. The total rise from the bottom of the pickup

tube to the fuel inlet on the Oasis™ should not exceed 60”.
There are no minimum clearance requirements between the
fuel tank and the Oasis™ .

The fuel line must be run and secured so as to prevent damage,
chafing and kinking during normal operation.

! CAUTION

• All fuel line connection points and hoses must use suitable

clamps and/or sealant and must be checked for leaks on the
initial installation and also periodically as part of normal

maintenance.

• A primary, UL and/or CSA approved fuel oil filter (not

provided) must be installed inline in the fuel supply hose,
between the tank and the Oasis™ Heating Module, in a
manner that ensures easy access for maintenance. A
secondary fuel filter is mounted inside the Heating Module

case. Both filters must be inspected and replaced as required
as part of normal maintenance.

• Fuel line hose used must be appropriate for your

requirements. It is strongly recommended that the hoses
have permanently installed end fittings.

4.3 What NOT to Do
