NATURAL GAS
Reference numbers 1,2, and 3 in the previous diagram are
system parts supplied by the customer. Reference number 4
is the engine-generator set. The following table is of the fuel
pressure reading at each reference in the system.
Natural Gas
Remember that whichever fuel delivery system or type of
vapor fuel used, the fuel pressure at the demand regulator
installed on the engine generator must be between 4 and
6 oz (7-11 inches of water column). Any lower pressure and
the unit will starve for fuel under load. Any higher and the
unit will ‘flood’ when attempting to start.
LP TANK SIZING
The tank sizes shown below are the smallest recommended
tank sizes based on the outside temperature. Once above
this minimum acceptable size, the size of LP tank used will
generally depend on how long you want the unit to run
without refilling. Keep in mind the colder it gets, the slower
LP will vaporize. This is the reason for the larger tanks at low
temperatures. Minimizing sizing is NOT based on running
time.
CHANGING FUEL TYPES
These engine-generator sets are designed to run on three
different fuels; gasoline, natural gas, and LP vapor. They
may be easily changed from one fuel to another.
GASOLINE TO LP/NG
1. With the engine running, turn off the gasoline valve.
2. Run the engine until it runs out of fuel.
3. Remove the plastic insert from the demand regulator.
4. Install a locally approved flexible fuel line.
5. Connect the LP/NG fuel line to the flexible fuel line.
You can’t connect the ridged mounted pipe directly.
6. All three units have two different hose fittings on the
top of the demand regulator. One is for LP and the
