  • Page 13: Fuel System

    Fuel System Overview The 25AG fuel pump and fuel system are the heart of the heater. The fuel pump not only delivers fuel to the heater but also controls the amount of fuel delivered. The pump is designed to operate like an electric solenoid and works using electric pulses.
  • Page 14 Fuel System Connecting the Fuel System Caution Fuel systems in gasoline vehicles are sealed and electronically monitored to contain fuel vapors. When integrating the heater, you must ensure that you do not disrupt the integrity of the fuel system. Installation should only be completed by a competent technician familiar with the fuel system of the vehicle. Due to the infinite variations of fuel systems used in Gasoline powered vehicles, it is impossible to provide a standard fuel pickup device or procedure that works for every application.
  • Page 15 Fuel System Auxiliary Fuel Port Method In some instances, the vehicle may have an auxiliary fuel port. It is possible to use this as fuel tank access. Consult the vehicle dealer for appropriate connections to adapt to our 4.5 mm rubber fuel line. Tee Into Fuel Line Method (NOT RECOMMENDED) Parking Heater Products recommends against Teeing into the vehicles fuel line.
  • Page 16 Fuel System Auxiliary Fuel Tank Method Auxiliary fuel tanks can be used in some cases as a solution for difficult to access fuel tanks. However, these are not certified for on-road use. Standard Fuel Pickup Method (Metal tank only) Standard fuel pickup pipes can be installed in larger metal tanks only. These can be installed using existing NPT ports in the tanks for by drilling an access hole in the tanks.
  • Page 17 Fuel System Fuel Pump Mounting • Using the bracket and rubber mount provided, install fuel pump as shown in Figure F2. • Isolating the pump with the rubber holder helps to minimize noise created during operation. • Ensure that the proper mounting angle is observed to avoid cavitation.

  • Page 31: Heater Ducting

    Heater Ducting Hot Air Ducting Distribute heat efficiently throughout the cabin by using the high temperature, 60mm flex-ducting and rotatable outlet and return air inlet provided in the installation kit. IMPORTANT NOTE: The heater uses a temperature sensor on the inlet side of the heater to regulate the cabin temperature. Use return air ducting for best heating regulation and efficiency.
  • Page 32 Heater Operation 25AG Operation Note: It is important to understand that this heater does not simply turn on and turn off. Rather, it has a sophisticated operating system similar to a household furnace to provide reliable heating comfort. The operator should familiarize themselves with the normal operation of the heater.
  • Page 33: Heater Operation

    Heater Operation “Vent Mode” Runs the blower fan only to provide cabin ventilation. The operator can adjust the fan speed in a range from 1-7. Note: Running the fan in vent mode for extended periods will diminish the life expectancy of the motor. Automatic Start Times The heater can has the capability of starting and running automatically with pre defined start up and run times.
