CONNECTING STOVE TO OIL TANK
• Make sure that the tank outlet is 12" higher than the inlet of the carburetor. (Gravity fed)
• Use only caper piping to connect tank to stove.
• Make sure that there is a small slope on the connection from the tank toward the stove.
• A 3" down slope is needed on the tank itself, from the outlet towards the other end of the tank.
• When the tank is installed outdoors, it is preferable to use oil #1, to avoid viscosity problems.
NOTE :
THE BAROMETRIC TANK SHALL BE LOCATED SO THAT THE TANK WILL NOT BE
EXPOSED TO THE DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN OR BE ADJACENT TO ANY SOURCE
OF INTENSE HEAT.
