is an oil and
fueL mix belchIng from the eXhaust
staCk during normaL operations, but
especiaLly at start-up.
±t's caused by a carbon buiLd²up in
the engine when the generator set is
running at less than 50 percent of its
rated Load.
±f you³re running your set at Less
than 50 percent of the rated load, the
best way to stop wetstacking is by
loading the engine with a test load
bank
and
running the
set
at
100
percent Load for
6
hours. Do it every 30
days´
Another method is to run the set
with 100 percent lOad for
6
hours and
every 30 days thereafter.
When you get a new
·
set, run it a
minimum of
6
houRs under load beFore
putting it into service.
