1o7 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
With LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawal sys-
tem. Tllis type of system uses the vapors %treed
above tile liquid lilel in tile storage tank.
The engine has been fitted witll a fllel earburetion
system that meets tile specifications of the 1997
California Air Resources Board for tamper=proof
dual fllel systems. The unit will run on natural gas or
LP gas, but it has been factory set to run on natural
gas. Should tile primary ihel need to be changed to
LP gas, the fllel system needs to be reeonfigured. See
instructions in the "Reeonfiguring the iSlel Systenf'
seetion.
Recommended fuels should lmve a Btu content of at
least 1,000 Btus per cubic loot for natural gas; or at
least 2,520 Btus per cubic toot lot LP gas. Ask the
fllel supplier for tile Btu content of the thee
Required fllel pressure for natural gas is 5 inches
to 7 inches water column (0.18 to 0.25 psi); and
for liquid propane, 11 inches to 14 inches of water
column (0.4 to 0.5 psi).
NOTE:
Any piping used to connect the generator to the
fuel supply should be of adequate size to ensure
the fuel pressure NEVER drops below 4 inches
water column for natural gas or 10 inches water
column for liquid propane for all load ranges.

Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid
propane (LP) gas are highly explosive. Even the
slightest spark can ignite such fuels and cause
an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted.
NaturM gas, which is lighter than air, tends to
collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air
and tends to settle in low areas.
