L-2.
GENERAL
The current configuration of the 2 kW MTG set lacks the capability to draw fuel from an external
source. The set has a 1.6-gallon day tank, which requires the operator to refill the tank every 4.8
hours (when operating at rated load). This auxiliary fuel system will allow the users to extend
their mission to over 15 hours of continuous operation at rated load.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
The auxiliary fuel system (see Figure L-1) utilizes a standard military 5-gallon fuel can. The can
fits on a steel bracket, which can be mounted on the top rail of the set frame, at either the engine
or control panel end of the set (see Figure L-4). When not in use, the bracket will be stored in a
stowed position on top of the set (see Figure L-5). The auxiliary fuel system consists of a 5-
gallon can fitted with a stinger, 5-gallon can mounting bracket (fabricated in accordance with
2), primer bulb, quick disconnect fittings, fuel hoses and hose clamps.
