Connecting With External Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa DG1000MI Owner's And Operator's Manual

9-5. Connecting with External Fuel Tank

CAUTION : FIRE
Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on the fuel line.
Always be sure to wipe up any spilled Diesel fuel.
After working on the piping, check that there is no Diesel fuel leakage.
Turn the 3way fuel valve lever to the "A" side.
1
(Position for using the internal tank.)
Disconnect the PT-1/2 plugs from both the
external fuel intake and an external fuel
2
return, and connect the hoses from an
external fuel tank, as shown below.
Turn the 3way fuel valve lever to the "B" side.
3
(Position for using the external tank.)
Bleed air from the external tank
connecting hose. Fuel can be
4
supplied from the external tank after
completing the above procedures.
< NOTE >
If using a hose for the piping, use oil-resistant
hose with an internal diameter of 8 to 10 mm.
Set the fuel level of the external fuel tank 0 to
3m above from the bottom of this generator. The fuel level of the external fuel tank being lower
than this generator will result in poor engine operation or shut-off.
Turn the 3way fuel valve lever to the "A" side in order to prevent fuel from flowing out from the
external tank fuel inlet/return.
Turn the lever completely as far as possible. If the lever is not completely pressed to either side, it
might not be possible to supply fuel causing the engine to stop.
Set the supply side so that it is 15 to 20 mm. above the underside of
the tank in order to prevent foreign material or water from being
suctioned from inside the external fuel tank.
Set the external fuel tank return side at the same height as the
supply side in order to prevent poor engine operation due to air
mixed in with the fuel.
Refer to section "9-2. Procedures during Operation" for air
bleeding.
Some air may remain in hoses or pipes immediately after
connecting the external fuel tank resulting in unstable engine speed and engine stoppage.
Do not leave the generator unattended for unmanned operation until you have confirmed that the
engine speed is stable.
