The fuel system.
Explosive
fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Vaporized
fuels
are highly
explosive.
Use extreme care when
handling and storing fuels. Store fuels
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
because
spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks.
Do not smoke
or permit flames
or
sparks to occur near sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors.
Keep the fuel lines
and connections
tight and
in good
condition.
Do not replace flexible fuel
lines with
rigid lines.
Use flexible
sections
to avoid fuel line breakage
caused by vibration. Do not operate the
generator
set in the presence of fuel
leaks, fuel accumulation,
or sparks.
Repair fuel systems before resuming
generator set operation.
Gas
fuel
leaks.
Explosive
fuel
vapors can cause severe injury or
death.
Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion.
Check the LP vapor gas or
natural gas fuel system for leakage by
using a soap and water solution with
the fuel system
test pressurized
to
6-8 ounces
per
square
inch
(10-14 inches water column).
Do not
use a soap solution containing
either
ammonia
or chlorine
because
both
prevent bubble formation. Asuccessful
test depends
on the ability
of the
solution to bubble.
