Check The Fuel Level (Gasoline Only) - Benchmark BG Series User Manual

3.3 CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL (GASOLINE ONLY)

WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke
or allow open flames or sparks in the area where the generator is being
refueled or where gasoline is stored. Do not overfill the tank. Be careful
not to spill fuel when refueling. Wipe up any spilled gasoline and let the
area dry before starting the engine.
Gasoline substitutes such as gasohol are not recommended. They may be
harmful to the fuel system components.
1. Check the fuel level by reading the gauge or removing the fuel tank cap to
visually check the level.
2. Add fuel. Tighten the fuel cap securely after refilling.
Note
Only use unleaded gasoline (Pump Octane 87 or higher).
Only BG11500DE accepts both unleaded gasoline and Propane (Liquified
Petroleum Gas) as a dual fuel model.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline, or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
Do not use a mixture of gasoline containing methanol. This will cause
serious damage to the engine.
Use of gasoline with an ethanol content greater than 10% can damage
the engine and fuel system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
