6.5.7 Draining fuel from the tank
WARNING
The fuel must be drained when the
engine is cool, to prevent the risk
of fire caused by a fuel leak on red-
hot surfaces. Wait at least 1 HOUR
after the generator has been
switched off.
NOTE
Do not dispose of fuel in the
environment. Use a suitable
container to collect the fuel drained
from the tank.
• Should the containment tank outside the fuel
tank need to be emptied (for generators
provided with containment tanks), the drain
plug is near the nozzle on the tank itself.
• Empty the tank using an external pump
which draws the fuel by immersing an
external pipe in the tank.
The pump and external pipe are not
supplied with the engine as they are specific
equipment.
