FUEL

To insure satisfactory operation, an engine or generator must

have a dependable supply of clean fuel.

Diesel Fuel – use No. 2 oil with a cetane rating of 45 or

higher.

Gasoline – use unleaded 89 octane or higher.

Make sure there is a fire-extinguisher installed near the

engine/generator and that it is properly maintained. Be famil-

iar with its use. An extinguisher with the NFPA rating of

ABC is appropriate for all applications.

FUEL SYSTEM

▲ WARNING:

Gasoline leakage in or around the

engine/generator compartment is a potential for fire

and/or explosions. Repair leaks promptly and ensure that

the compartment is properly ventilated.

SHUT-OFF VALVES

Make sure your fuel system has positive shut-off valves;

know their locations and how they operate.

NOTE: See the U.S. Coast Guard publication “Fuel System

Compliance Guideline” for basic fuel system layouts and

shut-off valve locations.

FUEL FILTERS

A primary fuel/water separator should be installed in the fuel

supply line between the fuel tank and the engine/generator to

help remove contaminants in the fuel before the fuel reaches

the engine mounted fuel lift pump. It should be mounted in

an accessible location for ease in monitoring for water and

contaminates, and for servicing. Such contaminants can

cause the failure of components, and such failures are not

warrantable. A recommended type of fuel/water separator is

available from the list of accessories. A secondary fuel filter

is mounted on the engine/generator, and it has a replacement

filter element.

After installation, test the fuel system for tightness per USCG

specification 33CFR183.542.

NOTE: Fuel filters for gasoline installations must use metal

bowls to meet Coast Guard regulations.
