Fuel Recommendation
Kerosene
• Use clean, fresh kerosene. Fresh kerosene prevents gum
from forming in the fuel system or on essential carburetor
parts. Purchase kerosene in quantity that can be used
within 30 days.
• To keep kerosene fresh and protect the engine use a
Kerosene Additive.
• Do not mix oil with kerosene.
Adding Fuel
1. Replace cap before starting.
2. Clean area around black kerosene cap and remove.
Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches below top of
neck to allow for fuel expansion (A). Be careful not to
overfill.
3. Replace cap before starting.
WARNING
Kerosene and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn engine OFF and let engine cool at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank.
• Keep kerosene away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
