The TP201 is only to be used for pumping fuel from either a diesel or petrol vehicle. Any other use can be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty. The unit should be reserved for only one type of fuel. Do not mix different fuels in the unit unless the unit is being used to drain a
tank where fuels have been inadvertently mixed, in which case the unit should be reserved exclusively for this purpose. Bring the unit near the
vehicle when ready to begin transferring fuel. Draining can be carried out in different ways depending on the vehicle’s configuration. Before
beginning the draining process, ensure you have read and understood the safety warnings and guidelines listed in Section 1 of these instructions.
