FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING
Explosion.
Gasoline vapors can cause explosion and
severe injury or death.
Before starting generator set, operate blower 4
minutes and check engine compartment for
gasoline vapors.
WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling, storing,
and using fuels.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. All fuels are highly explosive in a vapor state.Use
extreme care when handling, storing, and using fuels.
Store fuel in a well-ventilated area away from
spark-producing equipment and out of the reach of
children. Never add fuel to the tank while the engine is
running since spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot
parts or from ignition spark. Do not smoke or permit
flame or spark to occur near potential sources of spilled
fuel or fuel vapors. Keep fuel lines and connections tight
and in good condition—don’t replace flexible fuel lines
with rigid lines. Flexible sections are used to avoid
breakage due to vibration. Should any fuel leakage, fuel
accumulation, or electrical sparks be noted, DO NOT
OPERATE GENERATOR SET. Have systems repaired
before resuming generator operation.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Additional precautions must be taken when
using the following fuels:
Gasoline—Store gasoline only in approved red
containers clearly marked GASOLINE. Do not store
gasoline in any occupied building.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Gasoline vapors can explode and can cause
death or severe injury. USCG Regulation 33CFR183
requires all electrical devices (ship-to-shore transfer
switch, remote start panel, etc.) to be “ignition protected”
when used in a gasoline (gaseous)-fueled environment.
These electrical devices are not “ignition protected” and
are not certified to operate in a gasoline
(gaseous)-fueled environment such as engine room or
near fuel tanks. Acceptable locations would be
wheelhouse or other living areas sheltered from rain and
water splash.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Spilled fuel can cause an explosion. Use a
container to catch fuel when draining fuel system. Wipe
up all spilled fuel after draining system.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Do not
modify the tank or propulsion engine fuel system. Craft
must be equipped with a tank allowing one of the two
pickup arrangements described. Tank and installation
must conform to U.S.C.G. Regulations.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. To
prevent fuel leakage, use pipe sealant on all threaded
fittings. Pipe sealant must be suitable for use in marine
applications having oil and gasoline environments.
