A fuel transfer system allows you to store gasoline for use in motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs,
or other vehicles and equipment while at a campsite. is system consists of a fuel tank, fuel
tank ller, fuel gauge, fuel transfer pump, fuel transfer valve and hose with ll nozzle. A master
pump switch is located on the inside control panel and an emergency shuto switch is located on
the frame rail near the fuel transfer pump. A metal ground clip reduces the possibility of static
electricity discharge between the fuel station and the equipment being fueled.
To ll the tank, remove the fuel ller cap and ll the tank with the grade of gasoline required
by your equipment. When replacing the fuel ll cap, be sure it seats squarely and turn it rmly
to lock it on the ll pipe neck.
Fuel Transfer System Safety
Static electricity-related incidents when refueling are extremely unusual. ey appear to
happen most oen during cool or cold and dry climate conditions. In rare circumstances,
these static related incidents have resulted in a brief ash re occurring at the ll point. You
can minimize these and other potential fueling hazards by following safe refueling procedures.
DANGER
Any motorized equipment powered with ammable liquid can cause re and
explosion or asphyxiation if stored or transported inside the garage. To reduce the
risk of re, explosion, or asphyxiation:
1. Do not allow passengers to ride inside the storage area at any time.
2. Prior to storing vehicles in the garage, run fuel out of the engine after shutting
OFF fuel at the vehicle fuel tank.
3. Do not store or transport any motor fuel inside the garage.
4. Ventilate the interior of the garage to reduce the risk of re, explosion or
asphyxiation. Open the ventilation panels on either side of the cargo area.
5. Do not operate propane appliances, pilot lights, or electrical equipment when
motorized vehicles or motorized equipment are inside the garage. Set the cargo
electrical disconnect switch to OFF.
NOTE: The diesel generator requires 12
volts DC power from the house auxiliary
batteries to start, and draws diesel fuel
to operator from the chassis fuel tank.
If the fuel level to the chassis fuel tank
drops to or below ¼ full, the generator
will automatically shut OFF and cannot be
restarted until the fuel tank is filled to above
¼ full.
