SPECIFICATIONS
FUEL
REQUIREMENTS
These generators are equipped with gasoline fuel
systems
as
ftandard equipment. Specific installa-
tions may provide either a separate fuel tank for the
generator, or the generator may
"share" the vehicle
engine's fuel tank.
NOTE: Installations using a "shared" fuel tank may
have a generator
fuel pickup tube that
is
shorter than
the
vehicle engine's pickup tube. Such
an
arrange-
ment causes the generator engine to "run out of gas"
while
adequate fuel for the vehicle remains
in
the
tank.
To
reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality
UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded
REGULAR grade gasoline is
an
acceptable substi-
tute.
NOTE: Using "Unleaded" gasoline contributes to
longer engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon
deposits.
CAUTION:
Generac
does
not
recommend
using
any
gasoline
containing
alcohol,
it
must
not
con·
tain
more
than
10
percent
ethanol
and
it
must
be
removed
from
the
tank
during
storage.
Do
NOT
use
any
gasoline
containing
methanol.
If
you
use
gasoline
with
alcohol,
inspect
more
frequently
for
fuel
leaks
and
other
abnormalities.
