The Gaseous Fuel System
The information below is provided to assist gaseous fuel
system technicians in planning installations. In no way
should this information be interpreted to conflict with
applicable fuel gas codes. Consult with your local fuel
supplier or Fire Marshall if questions or problems arise.
TO THE INSTALLER
: Consult with the generator owner(s)
and convey any technical considerations that might
affect their installation plans before applying these
general guidelines.
The following general rules apply to gaseous fuel
system piping:

). When
the initial test runs are completed, the manometer
is removed and the port is plugged. The manometer
port permits temporary installation of a manometer
to ensure that the engine receives the correct fuel
pressure to operate efficiently throughout its
operating range.

WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
t
LP gas is heavier than air and will settle in low areas.
t
Natural gas is lighter than air and will collect in high
areas.
t
The slightest spark could ignite these fuels and cause an
explosion.
t
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
t
Before placing the generator into service, the fuel system
lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
t
No leakage is permitted.
