2.6.4.1 Refueling.
The Generator Set 150 kW tank has a capacity of 101.7 gallons (385 liters) of diesel fuel, including
reserve. It can be filled with the fuel pump, a fueling nozzle, or a canister.
WARNING
When refueling a generator set from an external source such
as a fuel tanker, the external source must be grounded to the
generator set fuel tank before refueling to prevent any
electrical discharge.
If metal to metal contact is not maintained during refueling,
a spark may result which could ignite fuel fumes. Make sure
the fuel nozzle stays in contact with the fuel tank. Ensure the
grounding point is an unpainted metal surface.
The fuel in this Generator Set 150 kW is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or use open flame when performing maintenance.
Fire and explosion could occur, resulting in severe personal
injury or death.
Use only the pump method to “hot refuel” the generator set.
Do not use the open port/manual refueling method for “hot
refueling”. Fuel spills during “hot refueling” cause fire
hazards.
