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

INSTALLATION
Air inlets should be louvered, where appropriate, to protect
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 possible, is
recommended.

CONNECTIONS

The generating set comes supplied with all supply lines
and output cable (i.e. electric cables, cooling water
connections, 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 with the appropriate national regulations. Supplied
cables are rated for ambient temperatures up to 70°C. If
the cables are required to meet higher temperature
requirements, they must be run through conduits.

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
connection 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 cm above the bottom of
the tank.
