LP/NG FUEL INSTALLATION
The information in this instruction is offered to assist
you in providing the proper vapor fuel supply for your
engine. This information is only provided to advise you
of the engine’s requirements and the decisions you
must make. In no case should this information be
interpreted to conflict with any local, state or national
code. If in doubt, always follow local codes.
DANGER: FIRE - PERSONAL INJURY -
All fuel lines must be installed by a qualified fuel
supplier
.
The fuel source should be as close as possible to the
outdoor operating location. This will reduce the
installation cost of fuel runs. Connect the fuel supply
line to the inlet of the fuel demand regulator on the unit
using a locally approved flexible fuel line (see table for
recommended line size). *WARNING: CONNECT TO
THE LARGE ¾” NPT PORT ON THE REGULATOR
LOCK OFF VALVE. NOT THE SMALL 1/8” NPT
PRESSURE TESTING PORT.*
The pressure
supplied to the demand regulator must be FOUR
TO SIX OUNCES or 7 to 11 INCHES W.C. (water
column
).
The primary regulator at the fuel supply
must be capable of delivering the proper volume
of fuel at this pressure.
Have your local fuel supplier install a protected fuel
connection at the outside operating location. He should
also install a lockable fuel shut off valve at the
connection point. Have your fuel supplier permanently
install a flexible fuel line to the demand regulator on the
engine generator set.
DANGER: FIRE - PERSONAL INJURY -
The LP/NG fuel supply line must always be shut off
when the engine is not running. Failure to do so may
allow fuel to leak at the unit.
INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE
DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY
Units that are intended to be run unattended
MUST
have an electric fuel solenoid installed. This solenoid
MUST be wired to AUTOMATICALLY turn off the fuel
whenever the engine stops.
Unit location will determine the size of fuel line that is
required to supply the engine with a constant fuel
pressure. Refer to the tables below for fuel line size,
and recommended tank size. For distances of 100
feet and over, a two-regulator fuel system is
recommended. This system consisting of a primary
10-15# regulator at the tank and a 6-ounce secondary
regulator installed about 10 feet from the generator.
You need to run a 1/2-inch line or larger from the
secondary regulator to the engine-generator set.
When a two (2) regulator fuel system is used, a fuel
line size of 3/8 inch is generally adequate for
distances up to 300 feet. The line size from the table
below applies to the distance from the second
regulator to the demand regulator.
A positive fuel
shut-off device must be installed in the fuel line
close to the engine generator set.
This may be
either a lockable manual shut-off valve available from
your local fuel installer, or a 12-volt DC fuel solenoid
valve. This 12-volt DC valve is available through your
local WILDCAT POWER GEN dealer.
The fuel line used to connect the supply line to the
demand regulator must be a locally approved flexible
fuel line. Products used will vary in different regions
depending on availability and local codes. Consult
with your local fuel supplier to ensure complete
compliance with ALL codes.
1. Remove the pipe plug from the demand regulator.
2. Connect the flex fuel line to the demand regulator
to the optional fuel solenoid.
