Installing the Fuel System
4.1 Before You Begin
For efficient and safe operation of the Oasis SCH33, follow all
recommendations for properly installing the fuel system. Any
deviations from these must be approved in advance by ITR.
Use only diesel #1 and #2 in the Oasis SCH33. DO NOT USE
GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL, OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
Keep fuel lines away from any heat source above 100°F (38°C).
Keep gasoline and any equipment that uses gasoline away from the
Oasis SCH33 heater location. The Oasis SCH33 is not rated for use
in an explosive environment.
Never share the fuel supply to the Oasis SCH33 with any other
fuel-burning device.
4.2 Fuel System Installation
The fuel pump in the Oasis SCH33 has a maximum flow capacity of
32 GAL/Hr and a maximum pressure of 11.5 psi. A 10-micron fuel
filter is recommended. Select a fuel filter based on these
requirements.
Recommendations for Installation
The inlet/outlet, quick-connect fuel fittings are located on the top of
the Oasis SCH33 and labeled accordingly. These fittings are supplied
with the male connectors already inserted into the quick disconnect
fittings attached to the fuel lines on the heater. Remove the male
connectors by pressing on the grey release button. They can then
be attached to the vehicle fuel supply and return lines.
