4.2 Fuel Selection and Fuel System Connection
This generator set has a convertible fuel system. The generator may run on natural
gas or propane, depending on the preferences of the owner. All generator sets
come preconfigured from the factory for natural gas fuel. For more information on
converting the fuel system type, see Converting the Fuel System Type section.
NOTICE
Fuel systems must be installed by qualified service technicians. Improper
installation presents hazards of fire and improper operation, resulting in
severe personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
In some jurisdictions fuel system installations to the generator set must be
performed by licensed or registered personnel. Check with the authority
having jurisdiction for requirements.
WARNING
Gaseous fuels are flammable, explosive, and can cause severe personal
injury or death. Do not smoke if you smell gas, are near fuel tanks for fuel-
burning equipment, or are in an area sharing ventilation with such
equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electrical arcs, arc-producing
equipment and all other sources of ignition well away. Keep a type ABC fire
extinguisher handy.
In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is extremely important.
• Make every effort to prevent fuel contamination from:
◦ Moisture
◦ Dirt
◦ Excess thread sealant
◦ Contaminants of any kind
• Clean all fuel system components before installing.
Gaseous-fuel supply system design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly,
installation, testing, inspection, operation, and maintenance must comply with the
applicable codes. See NFPA Standards No. 37, 54, and 58. If this is a seismic
installation, refer to IBC codes and standards. Where seismic installation is
required, there may be specific anchorage requirements for the generator set and
other installed components.
Most codes require a manual shutoff valve ahead of a flexible fuel hose. The
generator set includes an electric (battery-powered) shutoff valve.
