Remember that whichever fuel delivery system or 

type of vapor fuel used, the fuel pressure at the 

demand regulator installed on the engine generator 

must be between 4 and 6 oz. (7-11 inches of water 

column).  Any lower pressure and the unit will starve 

for fuel under load.  Any higher and the unit will ‘flood’ 

when attempting to start. 

LP TANK SIZING

Once above the minimum acceptable size, the size 

of L.P. tank used will generally depend on how long 

you want the unit to run without refilling.  The tank 

sizes shown below are the smallest recommended 

tank sizes based on the outside temperature.  Keep 

in mind the colder it gets the slower L.P. will vaporize.  

This is the reason for the larger tanks at low tempera-

ture.  Minimum sizing is not based on running time.

CHANGING FUEL TYPES

These engine generator sets are designed to run 

on three different fuels; gasoline, natural gas or LP 

vapor.  They may be easily changed from one fuel to 

another.

FROM GASOLINE TO LP/NG

1.  With the engine running turn off the gasoline  

 fuel valve.

2.  Run the engine until it runs out of fuel.

3.  Remove the pipe plug from the demand  

regulator.

4.  Install locally approved flexible fuel line.

5.  Connect the LP/NG vapor fuel line.

6.  This unit have two different hose fittings on 

the top of the demand requlator. One is for  

LP and one is for Natural Gas. Make sure the  

hose is attached to the proper fitting.

7.  Turn on the vapor fuel.

8.  Start the engine.

9 .  Apply the load to the generator.
