SECTION C:

FUEL GUIDE

The Toyostove Laser 73 is designed for use with ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene or ASTM D396 No.1 S500 Low
Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil. Use of low-quality kerosene will cause burner performance to drop, leading to abnormal
combustion and reduced heater life.
Purchase only ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene or ASTM D396 No.1 S500 Low Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil in non-red cans
reserved exclusively for kerosene and marked accordingly with the word "KEROSENE" or "No.1 FUEL OIL".
Always store your kerosene in a separate area from where you store gasoline for your power equipment to
avoid accidental use of gasoline in your heater.

Why It is Important . . .
Pure, clean kerosene is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor
quality or contaminated kerosene 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.
