What to do if my DeWalt DXGNP30E stops suddenly?
- K
  Kenneth MitchellAug 10, 2025
  If your DeWalt Portable Generator stops suddenly, consider these potential causes: * **Low oil shutdown:** Ensure the engine oil is at the proper level. Check the oil before every use. * **Fuel issues:** The fuel tank might be empty or contain impure or low-quality gasoline. Refill the tank with fresh 87+ octane unleaded gasoline, avoiding gasoline with more than 10% ethanol. * **Fuel tank cap:** A defective fuel tank cap can create a vacuum, hindering proper fuel flow. Test or replace the fuel tank cap. * **Spark plug cap:** A disconnected or improperly connected spark plug cap can cause the engine to stop. Make sure the spark plug cap is securely connected. * **Magneto:** A faulty magneto may be the reason. In this case, have a qualified technician service the magneto.
