2.4 Fuel Line Installation (Diesel Models)
Diesel-fired heaters could be connected to the fuel tank of the
vehicle, or to the auxiliary 10L fuel tank.
Do not tap into pressurized fuel lines of the vehicle when
connecting to the main fuel tank.
Only parts provided with
the hater should be used
in installation. Do not
extend fuel lines or use
different fuel pump.
Maximum length of fuel
line between the tank
and the pump should
not exceed 1.2 meters (4
feet).
Maximum length of fuel
line between the pump and the heater should not exceed 6
meters (18 feet).
Observe elevation
requirements
displayed on Fig.6.
Fuel pump should be
installed at an angle to
the ground. It is not
recommended to
secure the pump
parallel to the ground.

2.5 Room Temperature Sensor Installation
Room temperature sensor
is installed on the wall,
away from sources of heat
and direct sunlight, at a
height of about 4-5 feet
from the floor. This will
ensure the best
temperature reading.
Avoid installing the sensor
on perimeter walls of the
vehicle.
Drill a 10mm (3/8”) hole to install the sensor.
