Fuel Line

Factory installed generator fuel system components include (a) fuel filter, (b) 12-volt DC electric pump,

(c)engine carburetor, and (d) interconnecting lines and fittings. Connect a fuel supply line to the fuel filter inlet. Use a flexible length of approved fuel hose between the fuel filter inlet connection and rigid fuel lines.

‹6.4.1 FUEL TANK

Either the generator must share the vehicle engine's fuel tank, or a separate fuel tank for the generator set must be installed. All fuel tanks installed on the vehicle must be constructed, installed and restrained so they comply with applicable codes, standards and regulations.

Recreational Vehicle Generators

Rigid lines should be of annealed, seamless, drawn aluminum or steel.

Lines and fittings must comply with SAE J512F, “Standard Automotive Fittings,” or with ANSI B126.26 (latest edition).

Route the fuel line so that at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance is maintained between the line and any exhaust system parts.

Do not attach electrical wiring to fuel lines. Route the wiring so it cannot come into contact with any fuel line.

Route fuel lines so if they leak, fuel does not drip onto any electrical or exhaust system parts.

Use nonferrous metal straps without sharp edges to secure fuel lines.

6.4.2.2 Flexible Fuel Line

Use an approved flexible length of fuel hose between the generator fuel inlet connection and rigid fuel lines. This prevents breaking of the line caused by vibration, shifting, settling or movement. The follow- ing rules apply:

The flexible hose must comply with SAE J30B, “Standard for Fuel and Oil Hose.” It must be approved for use with gasoline.

The hose should be at least 6 inches (152 mm) longer than is needed to prevent the hose from rupturing if the generator shifts or settles.

If the generator is to share the vehicle engine's tank, separate fuel pickup tubes are required for the engine and the generator. The manufacturer recommends that the fuel pickup tube be two to three inches (51 to 76 mm) shorter than the vehicle engine's pickup tube. This prevents the generator from depleting the entire fuel supply during prolonged generator operat- ing periods.

Do NOT tee the generator fuel supply line into the vehicle engine fuel supply line. If this is done, the generator will be starved of fuel when both engines are operating at the same time. Also, while the vehicle engine is not run- ning, generator operation may drain the vehicle engine supply line, making it difficult to start the vehicle engine.

6.5LP GAS FUEL SYSTEM

DANGER

LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas. Even the slightest spark can ignite it and cause and explosion. Only competent, qualified people should be allowed to install, test, adjust or ser- vice an LP gas fuel system. Install the optional fuel system in compliance with applicable codes, standards and regulations. After the installation, do not do anything that might render the sys- tem in noncompliance with applicable codes and standards.

The LP powered range of generators are fitted with a nonadjustable, factory set system. These systems are tamper-proof to meet 1997 California Air Resources Board requirements for engine emission.

‹6.4.2 GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY LINE

6.4.2.1 Rigid Fuel Lines

Those lines used to supply fuel from a tank to the generator must comply with applicable codes, stan- dards and regulations. The following general rules apply to rigid fuel lines:

Guardian Technologies has established itself as a prominent leader in the realm of air purification with its innovative product line, specifically the models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of True HEPA filtration. This technology efficiently captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This is essential for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, providing peace of mind through cleaner air.

In addition to the HEPA filters, Guardian Technologies incorporates activated carbon filters in these models. This feature helps reduce unwanted odors from pets, cooking, and household chemicals, making the air in your home more pleasant. The combination of HEPA and activated carbon makes these models effective for comprehensive air purification.

These models also integrate smart technology, offering user-friendly controls that simplify operation. Many units are equipped with filter change indicators, ensuring users are alerted when it’s time to replace the filters. This promotes optimal air quality and prolongs the efficiency of the machines.

The Guardian Technologies models have a compact and modern design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any home or office decor. Their lightweight design facilitates easy mobility, enabling users to place them in various locations as needed.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic featured in these air purifiers. Many of the models are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also makes these purifiers an environmentally friendly choice.

Noise levels are kept to a minimum with these units, ensuring they operate quietly without disrupting daily activities such as work, sleep, or family time. This is particularly important in shared living spaces, where background noise can be a concern.

Overall, Guardian Technologies presents an impressive lineup of air purifiers through models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Their combination of advanced filtration, smart technology, energy efficiency, and stylish design positions them as excellent options for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality. Whether in a home or office, these models contribute significantly to a healthier living environment, making them a worthy investment for consumers seeking enhanced air purification solutions.
