10.2.2 GENERATOR REFUELING
Auxiliary generators draw their fuel from the main engine fuel tank. The fuel pick-up tube is shorter than the engine pick-up
tube. This prevents the vehicle fuel tank from being completely emptied on site.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to use the proper fuel. Errors in the fuel type can be hazardous and can create costly repairs.
