Heavier fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 diesel fuel may
also be used but will result in:
• noticeable odor
• additional fuel filter maintenance
• the need for nontoxic, anti-icer additives in very cold
weather
Do not use fuels heavier than No. 2 grade or heavy oils such
as oil drained from crankcases. These heavy oils will not
ignite properly and will contaminate the space heater.
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY (blue) or DIESEL
ONLY (yellow) storage container. Be sure storage container
is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause
the ignition control assembly to shut down space heater.
Foreign matter may also require space heater's fuel system
