STORING, TRANSPORTING, 

OR SHIPPING

 If shipping, transport companies require 

fuel tanks to be empty.
1.  Drain fuel tank.
 

 Some models have drain plug on un-

derside of fuel tank. If so, remove drain plug 

to drain all fuel. If heater does not have drain 

plug, drain fuel through fuel cap opening. Be 

sure all fuel is removed.

2.  Replace drain plug if provided.

3.  If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 

quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir, and drain 

again. This will prevent excess debris from 

clogging filters during future use.

4.  Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dis-

pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local 

automotive service stations that recycle oil.

5.  If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure 

storage place is free of dust and corrosive 

fumes.

 Do not store kerosene over summer 

months for use during next heating season. Using 

old fuel could damage heater.
