Fuel
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used, 1-K
kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur. Which can cause a
rotten egg odour during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil - Diesel may also
be used if 1-K kerosene is not available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any
added contaminants that may be added to the heated space. Use diesel fuel can cause excess
soot production.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
NOTE: Diesel (1-K kerosene) should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly
marked “Diesel (1-K kerosene)”. Never store diesel (1-K kerosene) in a red container. Red is
associated with gasoline.
-NEVER store diesel (1-K kerosene) in the living space. Diesel (1-K kerosene) should be
stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.
- NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint
thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN
CAUSE A FIRE EXPLOSION).
- NEVER store diesel (1-K kerosene) in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
- NEVER use Diesel (1-K kerosene) that has been stored from one season to the next. It
deteriorates over time. OLD DIESEL (1-K kerosene) WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS
HEATER.
- Use diesel in the heater/ 1-K kerosene is a suitable substitute.
