PREPARING A FUEL SUPPLY SITE
Select a level fuel supply site, free of debris and open flame, at least seven feet (2.13 meters) from
shelter.
NOTE!
Open end of overflow hose should discharge to a safe, outside location
along a downslope and below the level of the fuel flow control valve. A
piece of commercial petroleum absorbent material, such as New Pig's
Stat-Mat roll, will be placed under the end of the overflow hose to catch
any fuel that may spill. Additional commercial products are available to
contain large spills, such as New Pig's Absorbent Sock.
Route the overflow hose (13), and fuel supply hose (14), outside the shelter to the fuel supply location.
The overflow hose (13) should discharge to a safe, downward sloping, outside location below the level of
the fuel flow control valve. Place a petroleum absorbent mat under the open end of the hose.
