Prepare Fuel Supply Site

Back
  1. Select a level fuel supply site, free of debris and open flame, at least seven feet from shelter.

NOTE: Open end of overflow hose should discharge to a safe, outside location along a down slope and below the level of the fuel flow control valve. A piece of commercial petroleum absorbent material, such as New Pig's Stat-Mat roll, will be placed under the end of the overflow hose to catch any fuel that may spill. Additional commercial products are available to contain large spills, such as New Pig's Absorbent Sock.

  1. Route the overflow hose and fuel supply hose outside the shelter to the fuel supply location. Ensure the fuel line routes away from the stove body to prevent it from coming in contact with the stove body.
  2. The overflow hose should discharge to a safe, downward sloping, outside location below the level of the fuel flow control valve. Place a petroleum absorbent under the open end of the hose.

WARNING

Do not use any unauthorized fuel. Use of unauthorized fuel may result in fire and/or explosion.
