Exhaust Requirements
The exhaust muffler is located in a compartment in the
skid under the engine end of the generator set. See
Figure 6-2.
The exhaust system is complete for
generator sets installed outdoors. The screened piece
covering the muffler compartment prevents contact with
the hot exhaust system and keeps rodents and other
animals out.
For generator sets installed inside a building pipe
exhaust outside. Use available flexible exhaust kit and
duct flange kit. Correctly size any extension added to
the exhaust outlet so it does not affect the maximum
allowable back pressure of the engine. Total length and
number of bends in the exhaust system may have an
effect on the back pressure. Locate the exhaust outlet
to prevent entry by rodents and birds. Use a rain cap
when the exhaust outlet is directed upward.

Fuel System
Some generator sets may be equipped with an emission
certified engine. Emission certified engines may be
fitted with carburetors that have no possible
adjustments.
The generator set can be fueled by gasoline, LP gas, or
natural gas. Gasoline requires a different fuel system
than the gas fuels. The gas fuels use the same system
but different fuel regulators. For information on gas fuel
conversion, see Section 3, Gaseous Fuel Systems.
The fuel inlet connection for gasoline models is a rubber
hose with a 1/4 in. (6 mm) ID. The gas fuel models have
a fuel line with a 5/8-18 SAE 45
°
flare female swivel
connector. The rubber hose for all fuels is located near
the battery compartment on the 6.5 kW. Route this hose
as necessary to reach the fuel supply.
Comply with local and state codes regarding the correct
storage of fuel. Because of the scope of the topic
involving variable climate conditions and geographical
considerations,
