For long runs use copper or hot dip coated
seamless steel tubing (ASTM A-254) with double-
flared fittings. See Figure 7 for the connection at the
genset. Use 1/4 inch I. D. fuel hose (SAE 30-R7)
and stainless steel hose clamps.
Run the fuel line at or above the top of the fuel tank to
reduce the risk of siphoning fuel out of the tank if the
line should break. The maximum fuel pump lift is 36
inches (914 mm).
Route gasoline fuel lines away from electrical wiring
and hot engine exhaust components. (Heat can
cause fuel vapor lock.) Fuel lines should be
accessible for inspection and replacement,
protected from damage and secured to prevent
kinking, contact with sharp edges and chafing due
to vibration.
WARNING
Sparks can ignite gasoline, leading
to severe personal injury or death. Do not run
electrical wiring and fuel lines together. Sepa-
rate them with conduit or tubing if run through
the same opening. Do not tie them together.
