3. If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2
quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir, and drain
again. This will prevent excess debris from
clogging filters during future use.
4. Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dis-
pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local
automotive service stations that recycle oil.
5. If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure
storage place is free of dust and corrosive
fumes.
IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over summer
months for use during next heating season. Using
old fuel could damage heater.
