SECTION C:
FUEL GUIDE
The FF-V30T is designed for use with Kerosene. Use of low-quality fuel will cause burner performance to
drop, leading to abnormal combustion and reduced heater life.
Purchase only Kerosene, in non-red cans reserved exclusively for fuel and marked accordingly with the word
“KEROSENE”. Always store your fuel in a separate area from where you store gasoline for your power
equipment to avoid accidental use of gasoline in your heater.
What to Buy . . .
ALWAYS:
Clean and high-quality Kerosene.
ALWAYS:
Fuel free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER:
Gasoline, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER:
Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.
How to Use It . . . (when optional removable fuel tank is used)
ALWAYS:
Fill heater away from living quarters when heater is cool; use
siphon.
ALWAYS:
Watch fuel gauge to avoid overfilling heater.
How to Store It . . .
ALWAYS:
Store in a clean container, 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. Begin each heating season with
fresh fuel; discard at the end of season.
NEVER:
In the living space.
Why It is Important . . .
Pure, clean fuel is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor
quality or contaminated fuel can cause:
¡
Excess tar deposits on burner and flue pipe
¡
Incomplete combustion
¡
Reduced heater life
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce uncon-
trollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.
