Section 4, Installing the Fuel System
4-2
The Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System
The following is recommended for the fuel system installation:
•
The fuel supply line should be installed with minimal rise from
the fuel tank. The total rise from the bottom of the pickup
tube in the fuel tank to the inlet on the heater should not
exceed 60”. There are no minimum clearance requirements
between the fuel tank and the heater.
Both inlet and return fuel lines must run and secured to prevent
damage, chafing and kinking during normal operation.
•
All fuel line connection points should use appropriate thread
sealant, if required and hose connections must use suitable
clamps. All fuel connections must be checked for leaks after
installation and also periodically as part of normal
maintenance.
•
A primary, UL and/or CSA approved fuel oil filter (not
provided) must be installed inline on the fuel supply hose,
between the tank and the Hurricane
®
Chinook, in a manner
that ensures easy access for maintenance. A secondary fuel
filter is mounted inside the Hurricane
®
Chinook, just behind
the fuel nozzle. Both filters must be inspected and replaced
as required and is part of normal maintenance.
4.3 What NOT to Do
•
Don’t
allow the fuel or the fuel lines to become contaminated
with foreign material.
•
Don’t
allow the fuel lines to become damaged or constricted.
Ensure that fuel lines are always protected from contamination by
foreign material. When installing or servicing, seal off ends to
prevent contamination. After installing, you may also wish to flush
the fuel line to rid of it air and any foreign material.
