Refilling the Fuel System
The DCA150SSVU genset may (if equipped with a trailer or
skid) have a
double fuel tank system
(Figure 34), which
consists of an
internal
generator fuel tank, and a
trailer
mounted
fuel tank. It is also possible the genset can be
equipped with a
skid mounted
fuel tank (Figure 35). The
skid type fuel system does not use the internal generator
fuel tank.
Use the instructions in this section that applies to your type
of fuel tank system.
ALWAYS
fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh
#2 diesel
fuel.
DO NOT fill the fuel tanks beyond their capacities.
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing
fuel.The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling.
Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not
have a spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
