Why It is Important . . .
Good, clean fuel is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor
quality or contaminated fuel can cause:
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce
uncontrollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.
Note: The fluidity of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel becomes worse at temperatures of
21˚F (-6˚C) and below and can “gel”. This condition may cause ignition
failure. To prevent congealing it is recommended to use an additive with the
fuel. Check with a fuel supply company for the proper additive and mix.
GAS
The Toyostove Laser 60AT is designed for use with clear or red dyed ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396
Low Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil, or ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). Use of low-quality kerosene will
cause burner performance to drop, leading to abnormal combustion and reduced heater life.
Purchase only ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil, or ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel (ULSD) in non-red cans reserved exclusively for fuel and marked accordingly with the word “KEROSENE”,
“No.1 FUEL OIL”, or “ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL”. Always store your fuel in a separate area from where you
store gasoline for your power equipment to avoid accidental use of gasoline in your heater.
