Using an external fuel tank
The internal fuel tank of the Dragon K85 Mobile
Furnace has a capacity of 9.3 gallons (35 L).
Depending on the specific conditions and thermostat
settings, the Dragon can operate anywhere from a
minimum of 8 hours (firing continuously at 0.69 gal/hr)
up to more than 24 hours (firing intermittently to
maintain a constant temperature) on a full internal tank
of fuel.
If you will be operating the unit unattended for more
than 8 hours, we recommend that you purchase a
larger DOT-approved external fuel tank to use with the
external fuel siphon on the Dragon. This will allow you
to operate the Dragon for longer periods between
refueling. Even though you may not need to refuel with
an external tank, you should continue to physically
check the Dragon at least once a day during operation.
WARNING!
Diesel fuel is flammable and potentially
explosive. Place external tank on flat, stable surface to
prevent spills.
NOTICE:
Always use a clean fuel tank and fuel source
to prevent fuel problems. Cover the opening to prevent
moisture or contaminants from getting into fuel.
Connecting an external fuel tank
WARNING!
Diesel fuel is flammable and potentially
explosive. Always turn off and unplug the Dragon
before switching between internal and external tanks.
Do not smoke while connecting fuel tanks. Keep away
from open flame.
1. Disconnect the two fuel lines coming from the
internal fuel tank. To do this, slide the lock rings
back and pull the adapters apart.
2. To prevent fuel leakage or damage to the
adapters, connect the fuel lines together while not
in use. Wipe any excess fuel oil from the adapters.
3. Connect the fuel lines from the external fuel
siphon to the adapters on the Dragon housing. To
do this, push the male and female adapters
together until the lock rings snap into place.
NOTICE:
Be sure the lock rings snap securely to
avoid diesel fuel leakage.
4. Insert the siphon into the external fuel tank. Feed
the fuel lines through the plastic cover until the
siphon rests on the bottom of the tank.
5. Operate the Dragon as instructed elsewhere in this
manual.
Reconnecting the internal fuel tank
WARNING!
Diesel fuel is flammable and potentially
explosive.
NOTICE:
Always turn off and unplug the
Dragon before switching between internal and external
tanks. Do not smoke while connecting fuel tanks. Keep
away from open flame.
1. Remove the external fuel siphon from the external
fuel tank. Wipe the siphon and fuel lines clean of
excess fuel oil.
2. Disconnect the fuel lines from the external tank.
To do this, slide the lock rings back on the female
adapters and pull the adapters apart.
3. To prevent fuel leakage or damage to the external
fuel line adapters, connect the lines together while
not in use. Wipe away any excess fuel oil.
4. Connect the fuel lines from the internal fuel tank to
the adapters on the Dragon housing. To do this,
push the male and female adapters together until
the lock rings snap into place. Note that the male
and female adapters are arranged so that you will
always connect the lines properly.
