STORING, TRANSPORTING,
OR SHIPPING
Note:
If shipping, transport companies require fuel tanks to be empty.
1.
Drain fuel tank.
Note:
Some models have drain plug on underside of fuel tank.
If so, remove drain plug to drain all fuel. If heater does not
have drain plug, drain fuel through fuel cap opening. Be sure
all fuel is removed.
2.
Replace drain plug if provided.
3.
If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 quarts of clean
kerosene to tank, stir, and drain again. This will prevent ex-
cess debris from clogging filters during future use.
4.
Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dispose of old and
dirty fuel. Check with local automotive service stations that
recycle oil.
5.
If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure storage place is
free of dust and corrosive fumes.
IMPORTANT:
Do not store kerosene over summer months for use
during next heating season. Using old fuel could damage heater.
