Hose Help
The hose that connects
the M12 to the tank is very
heavy. Get help to maneuver
it and don’t drag it along the
ground. That damages its
connectors. Lay the hose
fat on the ground when
you’re ready to connect it
to the M12 and tank. That
makes the job easier.
Keep
all
the
hoses
stored as much as possible,
especially in the desert. IF
the hoses are leFt constantly
exposed to the sun, they
will dry rot Faster.

to the heater. Pump the bulb when
powering up the heater until Fuel
pressure stabliizes to 150 psi. Be
sure that the thermostat on the heater
is oFF until the pressure reaches 150
psi. IF the pressure doesn’t stabilize
aFter a couple oF minutes, notiFy

bleed the Fuel pump on the heater to
make sure there is no air blockage.
During your BE²ORE PMCS,

M12 is secure and not leaking. You
don’t want any leaking Fuel around
the burner, which gets very hot.
