FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling, storing,
and using fuels.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. All fuels are highly explosive in a vapor state.
Use extreme care when handling, storing, and using
fuels. Store fuel in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment and out of the reach of
children. Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is
running since spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot
parts or from ignition spark. Do not smoke or permit
flame or spark to occur near potential sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep fuel lines and connections tight
and in good condition— don' t replace flexible fuel lines
with rigid lines. Flexible sections are used to avoid
breakage due to vibration. Should any fuel leakage, fuel
accumulation, or electrical sparks be noted, DO NOT
OPERATE GENERATOR SET. Have systems repaired
before resuming generator operation.
TP-5393 9/93
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Additional precautions must be taken when
using the following fuels:
Gasoline— Store gasoline only in approved red
containers clearly marked GASOLINE. Do not store
gasoline in any occupied building.
Propane (LP)— Adequate ventilation is mandatory.
Propane is heavier than air; install gas detectors low in
room. Inspect detectors often.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Spilled fuel can cause an explosion. Use a
container to catch fuel when draining fuel system. Wipe
up all spilled fuel after draining system.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check LP
vapor gas fuel system for leakage using a soap-water
solution with fuel system test pressurized to 6-8 ounces
per square inch (10-14 inches water column). Do not
use test solutions that contain ammonia or chlorine,
since the soap will not bubble for an accurate leakage
test.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check LP
liquid withdrawal gas fuel system for leakage using a
soap-water solution with fuel system test pressurized
not less than 90 psi (621 kPa). Do not use test solutions
that contain ammonia or chlorine, since the soap will not
bubble for an accurate leakage test.
