Connections; Fuel Supply - Mastervolt whisper 3,5 Installation Manual

Air inlets should be louvered, where appropriate, to pro-
tect the engine room and to protect the generating set
from water spray. As an extra precaution, the fitting of a
cowl ventilator with a cover box located as high as possi-
ble, is recommended.

CONNECTIONS

The generating set comes supplied with all supply lines
and output cable (i.e. electric cables, cooling water con-
nections, exhaust, fuel lines etc.) already connected to
the engine and generator. The supply lines are fed
through the capsule's front base. The connections are
marked as shown in fig. 1.
All electrical connections, cable types and sizes must
comply to the appropriate national regulations. Supplied
cables are rated for ambient temperatures up to 160° F
(70°C). If the cables are required to meet higher
temperature requirements, they
conduits.
ATTENTION!
Before working (installation) on the system
read the section safety instructions in the
user manual.

Fuel supply

1 FUEL TANK
Fuel tanks should be made of appropriate material
such as (stainless) steel or plastic. Steel tanks should
not be galvanised or painted inside. Condensation
can occur in metal tanks when temperature changes.
Therefore, water accumulates at the bottom of the
tank and provisions should be made for the drainage
of this water.
The tank will need a filling connection, a return con-
nection and an air ventilation connection which will
require protection against water entry.
Some official regulations do not allow connection
points at the base of the fuel tank; in this instance
connections are to be made at the top of the tank with
internal tubing down to a few inches above the
bottom of the tank.
