C.6.2 The electrical fuel pump
Electrical Fuel Pump
With the Panda generator is usually supp-
lied an external, electrical fuel pump (12 V
DC). The fuel pump must be installed
close at the fuel tank. The electrical con-
nections are pre-loaded at the generator
with the lead planned.
Fig. C.6.2-1: Electrical fuel pump
• Suction hight of the pump: max. 1,2 m at 02, bar
• Diameter of fuel lines: section F.2, “Technical data,” on page 74.
C.6.3 Connection of the fuel lines at the tank
Lead the return fuel pipe connected to the day tank to the floor
The return pipe connected to the tank must be dropped to the same depth as the suction pipe, if
the generator is mounted higher than the tank, in order to prevent fuel running back into the tank
after the motor has been switched off, which can lead to enormous problems, if the generator is
switched off for a long period.
Non-return Valve in the Suction Pipe
A non-return valve must be fitted to the suction pipe, which prevents the fuel flowing back after
the generator has been switched off, if it is not possible to use the return flow pipe as a submerge
pipe placed in the tank. The instructions "Bleeding Air from the Fuel System" must be read after
initial operation or after it has stood still for a long period, in order to preserve the starter battery.
ATTENTION! Non-return valve for the Fuel Return Pipe
If the fuel tank should be installed over the level of the generator (e.g. daily
tank), then a non-return valve must be installed into the fuel return pipe to
guarantee that through the return pipe no fuel is led into the injection pump.
