FUEL SYSTEM

The unit has been designed to be mounted above a
propane enclosure. A dividing plate has been sup-
plied to be placed under the unit to separate the gen-
erator from the propane tank. During installation it is
important that this dividing plate be positioned
beneath the generator and bolted into place.

The fuel supply line has been supplied with a bulk-
head fitting which should be attached to the dividing
plate with the locking nut provided (Figure 1.1).

Figure 1.1 — Propane Tank Connection

Once installed the bulkhead fitting will provide a
3/4”-16, 37° JIC fitting to which the propane tank can
be connected. The fuel pressure to the unit must be
regulated to 11-14” WC for the unit to perform as
designed.

With LP gas, use only the vapor withdraw type sys-
tem. This type of system uses the vapor formed above
the liquid fuel in the storage tank.

The engine has been fitted with a carburetion system
which meets the specifications of the 1997 California
Air Resources Board for tamer proof dual fuel sys-
tems. The unit will run on natural gas or propane fuel
and has been factory set to run on LP gas. Should the
primary fuel need to be changed to natural gas, then
the fuel system needs to be reconfigured (Figure 1.2
on page 6).
