INSTALLATION
All electrical connections, cable types and sizes must
comply to the appropriate national regulations. Supplied
cables are rated for ambient temperatures up to 70°C. If
the cables are required to meet higher temperature, they
must be run through conduits.
2.4.1 FUEL SUPPLY
1 FUEL TANK
Fuel tanks should be made of appropriate material
such as (stainless) steel or plastic. Steel tanks should
not be galvanised or painted inside. Condensation can
occur in metal tanks when temperature changes.
Therefore, water accumulates at the bottom of the
tank and provisions should be made for the drainage
of this water.
The tank will need a filling connection, a return con-
nection and an air ventilation connection which will
require protection against water entry.
Some official regulations do not allow connection
points at the base of the fuel tank; connections are to
be made at the top of the tank with internal tubing
down to a few cm above the bottom of the tank. Using
the existing fuel tank of the car-engine the fitting
should be executed with extra care. Both a supply line
and a return line should be installed and go into the
tank from the top. Interference of the two systems (car
engine and generator engine) should be avoided.
