FUEL GUIDE

The Toyostove Laser 730/Laser 730AT is designed for use with ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur
No.1 Fuel Oil, ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), or Ultra Low Sulfur Heating Oil (ULSHO). Use of low-
quality fuel will cause burner performance to drop, leading to abnormal combustion and reduced heater life.
Purchase only ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene or ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil, ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD), or Ultra Low Sulfur Heating Oil (ULSHO) in non-red cans reserved exclusively for kerosene and marked
accordingly with the word "KEROSENE", "No.1 FUEL OIL", "ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL", "ULTRA LOW SULFUR
HEATING OIL". 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 . . .
Clean and high-quality ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396 Low

How to Store It . . .
ALWAYS : Store in a clean container, non-red in color, clearly marked KEROSENE,
No.1 FUEL OIL, ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL, or ULTRA LOW
SULFUR HEATING OIL.
ALWAYS : Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme tempera-
ture changes.

Why It is Important . . .
Good, 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
uncontrollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.
Note: The fluidity of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Ultra Low Sulfur Heating Oil becomes
worse at temperatures of 21˚F (-6˚C) and below and can "gel". This condition may
cause ignition failure. To prevent congealing it is recommended to use an additive
with the fuel. Check with a fuel supply company for the proper additive and mix.
