12. Fuel system
Specific requirements may apply in different countries for fuel tanks and
fuel lines, consult your local authorities.
12.1 Fuel tank
For the fuel pick up point, both the engine main fuel tank or a separate fuel
tank can be used. Do not connect the heater to the engine main fuel line
with a ”T” connection. The heater must have its own fuel pick up point that
is not influenced by any other device. Both plastic and metal fuel tanks can
be used, but make sure that the tanks comply with all legal regulations and
standards in your country.
12.2 Fuel standpipe
The fuel stand pipe is included in the heater base kit. The unit can be
attached to the fuel tank by pressure sealing with provided parts. The
bottom end of the standpipe should be at least 25 mm from the bottom of
the fuel tank to ensure that particles and other contamination in the bottom
of the tank are not introduced into the heater fuel system.
Caution!
The fuel tank must have a vent to avoid over and under pressure in the
tank.
