1.6SPECIFICATIONS
1.6.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS (GASOLINE)
This generator is equipped with a gasoline fuel system as standard equipment. Specific installations may provide either a separate fuel tank for the generator, or the generator may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.
1.6.1.1 Fuel Consumption (gph)
| Model | 10% Load | 50% Load | 100% Load |
|
| QuietPact 55G | 0.51 | 0.73 | 0.97 |
|
| QuietPact 65G | 0.51 | 0.76 | 1.07 |
|
| QuietPact 75G | 0.51 | 0.80 | 1.28 |
|
NOTE
Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an arrangement causes the generator engine to “run out of gas” while adequate fuel for the vehicle remains in the tank.
To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high qual- ity UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute.

Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately 1.8 L or 1.9 U.S. quarts. DO NOT use special additives. See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 for oil level check and filling procedures.
