INSTALLATION 2 FUEL LIFT PUMP The generating set itself is equipped with a fuel lift pump; therefore the tank can be installed at a lower level than the generating set. The maximum suction height is 1 m. If the pump has to lift the fuel higher than one meter an external fuel lift pump must be installed.

4 FUEL FILTERS A fine fuel filter is installed which requires maintenan- ce. Mastervolt advises to install an extra fuel filter/ water fuel separator near the fuel tank. Before starting your generating set for the first time follow the fuel system bleeding procedure in the users manual.

This is the main cause for line, then - when the engine is stopped - there is a overheating of an engine.
INSTALLATION 1.4.3 Exhaust system Water is injected in the exhaust system of the generating set. In this way the cooling water that has passed the heat exchanger is mixed with the exhaust gases. Temperature and volume of the gases are thereby reduced considerably, so that a rubber exhaust hose can be used and the level of noise is reduced as well.
