Portable Fuel Tank
Your portable fuel tank complies with new EPA regulations. A vented fuel fill cap prevents fuel vapors
from escaping into the atmosphere. Because this system is sealed, pressure builds up in the tank. It is
normal for the tank to swell or shrink.
!
WARNING
• When opening the fill cap, slowly turn the cap to allow the pressure/vacuum
to equalize before opening the cap fully.
• When filling the tank, do NOT attempt to top off the tank.
Fuel Demand Valve
NOTICE
• If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the
fuel demand valve.
• If the valve is stuck or clogged, turn Off the engine and replace the valve.
• Except in an emergency, NEVER run the engine without the fuel
demand valve.
The fuel demand valve is a vital fuel system part.
If the fuel line ruptures, this valve prevents the siphoning of fuel from the tank. The valve is located
in
the line on the fuel hose, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank. The valve is only opened by the
fuel pump vacuum.
Fuel Recommendations
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance and long engine life. Care
should be taken to select fuels having the octane rating recommended for the engine, as indicated in the
owner’s manual, for proper operation. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination. Your fuel tank
should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This will reduce the amount of water condensation and
reduce the possibility of contamination.
