Diagram 3.4: Offset fluid retention container integrated into the chassis and tank.
Generating sets fitted with the offset tank option (DW) above also have a high level indicator in the retention container.
In all cases, the retention containers must be regularly checked to ensure they contain no fluid (fuel, oil and coolant, or rainwater or
condensation). If necessary, drain the containers either via the drain port or by using the drain pump (for containers fitted with this
pump).
Note: Never allow these fluids to drain onto the ground; ensure they are collected in a designated container.
3.3. Choice of location
It should be determined on the basis of use. There are no specific rules governing the choice of location, other than proximity to the
electric distribution panel and disturbances caused by the noise. However, fuel supply, burnt gas evacuation, and the direction of these
gases and the noises emitted should be taken into account.
The choice of its position will be based on carefully considered compromise!
Examples of problems that may be encountered:
Incorrect exhaust and ventilation
Ground too uneven or soft.
Reduced access
Set incorrectly positioned
Fuel filling impossible
Opening cover doors impossible
