Checking the Fuel
The fuel level should be checked regularly to ensure a constant fuel supply to the WhisperGen.
How often the fuel needs to be checked and replenished depends on the operating conditions of
the WhisperGen and the size of the fuel tank. In general, the WhisperGen consumes 0.5 to 0.85
litres of fuel per hour of operation. This applies to machines using either diesel or kerosene fuel.
To check the fuel level:
1. Remove the fuel tank cap. The fuel tank is located outside the WhisperGen and is typically
within five metres of it.
2. Ensure that the fuel level is adequate. The fuel level must be higher than the fuel outlet point
at all times.
3. Replenish fuel if necessary, taking care not to spill any on or in the vicinity of the WhisperGen.
For WhisperGen’s equipped with diesel burners.
For WhisperGen’s equipped with kerosene burners.
4. Replace the fuel tank cap.
If the fuel tank was empty and a fuel-related error message is displayed on the control panel, you
will need to bleed the fuel line before the WhisperGen can be operated normally again.
