NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an electric air pump that forces air through the air line connected to the fuel intake and then through a nozzle in the burner head. When the air passes in front of the fuel intake it causes fuel to rise from the tank and into the burner nozzle. This fuel and air mixture is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
