1. Drain fuel tank.

This model has a drain plug on
underside of fuel tank. Remove drain
plug to drain all fuel. Be sure all fuel is
removed.

or 2 quarts of clean kerosene to tank,
stir, and drain again. This will prevent
excess debris from clogging filters dur-
ing future use.

erly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check
with local automotive service stations
that recycle oil.

IMPORTANT:
Do not store kerosene over
summer months for use during next heating
season. Using old fuel could damage heater.
