Statutory regulations governing installation
2.2. Position of the heater
2.2.1. Parts of the vehicle body and other components in the immediate
vicinity of the heater must be protected against excessive heat and the
danger of contamination by fuel or oil.
2.2.2. The internal combustion heater must not pose a fire hazard even

minimize all risk of bodily injury, as well as damage to items in the
vehicle.
2.3. Fuel supply

leakages.
2.3.2. The type of fuel and the fuel filler neck must be clearly identified
on heaters for liquid fuel, in which the fuel supply is separate from the
fuel supply for the vehicle.
2.3.3. A sign must be affixed to the fuel filler neck warning that the heater
must be switched off before refuelling. A corresponding warning must
also be included in the manufacturer's operating instructions.
