temperature drops below 0°F (-18°C). In extremely cold
weather, condensation may develop in the tank and it is
recommended that a tablespoon of de-icer be added for each
gallon (4 liters) of fuel in the tank. When filling the heater,
use at least 2 gallons (8 liters) of fuel. Be sure heater is level
and do not overfill. Use a funnel or can with a long fill spout.
IMPORTANT: Before filling fuel tank the first time or after
extended storage periods, drain the fuel tank of any moisture
or condensation.
