What will bad Impact if Air in Fuel of Generator?

What will bad Impact if Air in Fuel of Generator? Air in Fuel  Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment and switches out to the work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility of severe personal injury or death when working on the fuel system. Do not vent the fuel system on a hot engine this can cause to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold which can cause a fire.   How to bubble test of diesel generator fuel? The low pressure fuel system for diesel generator installation in the vehicle consists of the fuel tank lines between the tank and the engine transfer pump and lines and fuel filter and lines. Air or bubbles at the injection pump can cause the engine not to operate or erratic engine operation and subsequent  malfunction of the injection pump. Air can be introduced by leaks in the fuel system prior to transfer pump since the fuel in the lines in under a vacuum and can draw air into the system.

How one inspect Generator Vibration Damper and Viscous?

How one inspect Generator Vibration Damper and Viscous? Inspection procedure of Generator Vibration Damper and Viscous The silicone fluid in the vibration damper will become solid after extended service and will make the damper inoperative. An inoperative vibration damper can cause major engine or drivetrain failures.   Vibration Damper and Viscous Check the vibration damper for evidence of fluid loss, dents and   wobble. Inspect the vibration damper thickness for any deformation or raising of the damper cover plate. If any of those conditions are identified, contact your manufacturer and get solution or replace the vibration damper. Viscous damper have a limited life. The maximum damper life one get from operation and maintenance manual book.

How one inspects Vibration Damper and Rubber of Generator?

How one inspects Vibration Damper and Rubber of Generator? Inspection procedure of Vibration Damper and Rubber of Diesel Generator Check by following picture firstly lines A in the vibration damper hub B and the inertia member C. If the lines are moiré than 1.59 mm= 1/6 inch out of alignment, replace the vibration damper. Inspect the rubber member for deterioration. If pieces of rubber are missing or if the elastic member is more than 3.18 mm= 1/8 inch below the metal surface, replace the damper. Look for forward movement on the damper ring on the hub. Replace the vibration damper if any movement is detected.

How one does properly Diesel Generator Cooling System Fill?

How one does properly Diesel Generator Cooling System Fill?   The system must be filled properly to prevent air locks. One must air vented during filling from the engine coolant passages. One must be open the petlock on the aftercooler for after cool engine. Wait about 2 or 3 minutes to allow air to be vented then add mixture to bring the level to the top. Cooling System Fill   The system has design fill rate of 19 liters = 5 gallon per minute. One must follow the caution *** Never use only water for coolant because water create corrosion. One must use mixture of 50 % water and 50 % propylene glycol or ethylene glycol antifreeze to fill the cooling system. Install the pressure cap. Operate the engine until it reaches at temperature of 80 degree Celsius = 180 F Must check the leaks for coolant. One should check the coolant level again to make certain the system is full of coolant or that the coolant level has

How one do valve adjust on diesel generator?

Valve adjustment should be done manufacturer recommended duration How one does valve adjustment of a generator? Remove he rocker lever covers. Locate the Top Dead Center for cylinder number 1 Use ½ inch drive and engine bearing tool to rotate the engine clockwise when facing the damper until cylinder number 4 for four cylinder engine or until cylinder 6 for six cylinder engine intake rocker arm starts to open the intake valve [Wiggle the rocker arm while barring the engine. When the rocker arm gets tight, stop barring] Adjust Valve of Diesel generator: The clearance is correct when some resistance is felt when the feeler gauge is slipped between the valve stem and the rocker lever. Intake Clearance: 0.254 mm= 0.010 inch             Exhaust Clearance: 0.508 mm=0.20 inch How one 4-cylinder Engine Valve adjusts? Four cylinder Engine Valve Adjust: One must sure firstly engine at TOP Dead Center for cyli

Which type of Battery connection Series or Parallel Connection is used for Diesel Generator?

Diesel Generator Battery Connection Batteries can emit explosive gases.     To reduce the possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the compartment before servicing the batteries. To remove the possibility of arching, remove the negative battery cable is first and attach the negative battery last. When using jumper cables to start the engine make sure to connect the cables in parallel Positive to positive and negative to negative. When using external electrical source to start the engine, turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the key before attaching the jumper cables. To avoid damage to engine parts do not connect jumper starting or battery charging cable to any fuel system or electronic component. Battery Parallel Connection: The accompanying illustration shows a typical parallel battery connection. This arrangement doubles the cranking amperage. Battery Series Connection: This illustration shows a typical

Diesel Generator starting procedure in Cold Weather

Generator Starting Procedure at Cold Weather or Winter Season Electrical and mechanical Metering Equipment 0.       Disengage the driven unit or if equipped put the transmission in neutral 1.       While cranking the engine, inject metered amounts of starting fluid 2.       Engine oil p-pressure must be indicated on the gauge within fifteen seconds after starting.   Warning of Cold Weather starting Aids of a Diesel Generator One should not use volatile material for cold starting diesel generator because of the potential for an explosion. One must keep away all flames, sparks and arcing switches from starting fluid if it is used for starting cold weather diesel generator because it is highly flammable. Do not breathe starting fluid fumes. Starting fluid fumes can be hazardous to ones health. One should not use excess amount of fluid for starting the diesel generator engine because huge amount of fluid damage the diesel

How one start Diesel Generator if it is shutdown about 30 days?

Starting procedure of Diesel Generator after 30 days shutdown If one shutdown the engine for more than 30 days to make sure the engine receives the correct oil flow through the lubricating oil system by following steps -           Disconnect the electrical wire from the fuel pump solenoid. -           Rotate the crankshaft, using the starting motor, until oil pressure appears on the gauge or the warning lamp goes out. -           Connect the electrical wire to the fuel pump solenoid valve. -           Start the engine as like as normal starting procedure  

Starting Procedure of a Diesel Generator

Normal Starting Procedure of a Generator Do not depress the accelerator pedal or move the accelerator lever from the idle position while cranking the engine. This can result in engine over speed and severs damage to the engine.] To prevent damage to the starting motor do not engage the starting motor for more than thirty seconds, wait two minutes between each attempt to start the starting motor. Engine equipped with air starting motors require a minimum 70 psi which is recommended by manufacturer. a.        Disengage the driven unit or if equipped put the transmission in neutral. b.       With the accelerator pedal or lever in the idle position turn the key switch to the ON position and wait for the wait to start lamp to go out then turn the key to the start position. c.        If the engine does not start after three attempts check the fuel supply system. Absence of blue or white exhaust smoke during cranking indicates no fuel is being delivere
