1.1.4. Fuel Precautions
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL! Microturbine fuel is flammable and explosive. No open
flame or smoking is allowed near the microturbine. Failure to observe this
warning can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CORROSIVE MATERIAL! Gaseous fuels can be corrosive. Concentrations of
Hydrogen Sulfide (H
2
S) can be found in sour natural gas and sour high BTU gas.
Minimize exposure to gaseous fuels and provide sufficient fresh airflow around
equipment. Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury.
Do not connect to any fuel source other than the fuel specified for use by the
microturbine. Failure to observe this caution can result in equipment damage.
Make sure that fuel inlet pressure does not exceed the maximum rated
pressure specified on the microturbine labeling. Failure to observe this caution
can result in equipment damage.
The Capstone Microturbine operates on approved gaseous or liquid fuels only. Use appropriate
PPE when handling fuel. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, equipment that produces electrical
arcs, switches or tools, and all other sources of ignition away from areas where fuel and fumes
are present. If there is a fire, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or CO
2
fire extinguisher, and
contact the appropriate fire officials.
Fuel lines must be secure and free of leaks. Fuel lines must also be separated or shielded from
electrical wiring. If you smell fuel fumes, immediately stop operation of the equipment, close the
fuel isolation valve, and locate and repair the source of the leak or call a qualified professional.
Make sure to isolate the fuel supply prior to doing any work on the equipment.
