Connecting The Stove To The Oil Tank - Drolet YUKON Instructions Manual

CONNECTING THE STOVE TO THE OIL TANK

• Make sure that the oil tank is 12" (305 mm) higher than the carburetor. This is very important, since the
stove is gravity fed.
• Use only copper piping to connect the tank to the stove.
• Make sure that there is a continuous slope going from the tank to the stove.
• A 1/4" slope per foot is needed on the tank itself, from front to back. This will keep residue accumulations
at the back of the oil tank. Otherwise, residues could clog the oil line.
• When the tank is installed outside the house, it is always preferable to use oil #1 in order to avoid
viscosity problems.
NOTE : THE TANK SHALL BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO THE
DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN OR ADJACENT TO ANY SOURCE OF INTENSE HEAT.
