Fuel Supply

Because of variable climates and geographical
considerations, contact the local fuel supplier for fuel
system planning and installation. Figure 1-6 lists the
recommended fuel ratings and other fuel supply
information for natural gas and LPG fuels.

Verify that the output pressure from the primary gas
utility pressure regulator is as shown in Figure 1-6 and
that the utility gas meter flow rate is sufficient to supply
the generator set at rated load plus all other
gas-consuming appliances. For LPG tanks, verify that
the output pressure is as shown in Figure 1-6. See
Figure 1-9 for fuel consumption. Contact the fuel
supplier for flow rate information or a gas meter
upgrade, if necessary.
1.7.2

Fuel Pipe Size

Ensure that the fuel pipe size and length meet the
specifications in Figure 1-7. Measure the pipe length
from the primary gas pressure regulator to the pipe
connection on the generator set fuel inlet. Add 2.4 m
(8 ft.) to the measured length for each 90 degree elbow.
Compare the total pipe length with the chart in
Figure 1-7 to find the required pipe size.
Contact local LPG provider for LPG installation
information.
