Fuel Lines Routing

WARNING

Explosive hazard.

Fuel leaks create fire and explosion hazards which can result in severe

personal injury or death.

Always use flexible tubing between the engine and fuel supply to avoid line

failure and leaks due to vibration. The fuel system must meet all application

codes.

WARNING

Sparks and hot surfaces.

Sparks and hot surfaces can ignite fuel, leading to severe personal injury or

death.

Do not route fuel lines near electrical wiring or hot exhaust parts.

NOTICE

Fuel lines must be routed and secured to maintain a 12.7 mm (½ inch)

minimum clearance from electrical wiring and a 51 mm (2 inch) minimum

clearance from hot exhaust parts.

A flexible fuel hose(s) or section of flexible fuel hose(s) must be used between the

engine’s fuel system and fuel supply and return line(s) to protect the tank's fuel

system from damage caused by vibration, expansion, and contraction. Flexible lines

for connecting between the engine and the fuel tank are included as standard

equipment.

Modification of the fuel hoses must be done according to all applicable codes and

standards, and installation recommendations provided by the manufacturer. The

supplied flexible hoses are approved by the hose manufacturer for use with the

generator set fuel type and product application.
