SECTION C:
FUEL GUIDE
The Toyotomi BS-35(F) is designed for use with kerosene only. Use of low-quality kerosene will
cause burner performance to drop, leading to abnormal combustion and reduced the unit life.
Purchase only kerosene in non-red cans reserved exclusively for kerosene and marked
accordingly with the word ‘‘KEROSENE’’. Always store your kerosene in a separate area from
where you store gasoline for your power equipment to avoid accidental use of gasoline in your
water heater.
What to Buy...
ALWAYS:
Clean and high-quality KEROSENE
ALWAYS:
Kerosene free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER:
Gasoline, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER:
Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.
How to Store It...
ALWAYS:
Store in a clean container, non-red in color, clearly marked
“KEROSENE.”
ALWAYS:
Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme
temperature changes.
NEVER:
In a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels.
NEVER:
For longer than six months.
NEVER:
In the living space.
Why It is Important...
Pure, clean kerosene is essential for safe and efficient water heater operation. Poor quality
or contaminated kerosene can cause:
- Excess tar deposits on burner and flue pipe
- Incomplete combustion
- Reduced unit life
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce uncontrollable flames,
creating a severe fire hazard.
