Although these changes have made it to the AMDF and FED LOG, many units
have not picked them up. They are ordering these parts under the old NSNs using a
requisition transaction advice code of 2F.
Code 2F means the item is obsolete, but still required. But these items are not
obsolete! When you use 2F, the computerized supply system kicks out your requi-
sition and your request must be handled by hand. This increases workload and slows
down the shipping (and arrival) of your part.
So update every record you have with these new NSNs and tell your folks to
always check the AMDF or the FED LOG before they use the 2F code.

3-KW TQG…
a
leaking fuel hose on your 3-KW tactical quiet generator (NSNs 6115-01-285-
real bad day. At the very least, you will have an environmental hazard—at the worst,
a fire!
Holes are showing up in the fuel hoses because the pull/start rope of the recoil
starter assembly is rubbing against the hose and cutting away some of the covering.
This is happening between the primary fuel pump and the fuel filter assembly.
It seems the auxiliary fuel hose forces the primary fuel hose down into the
pull/start rope. If you frequently start your generator manually, you will eventually
cut a hole in the fuel hose.
Here’s the fix:
1.
Remove the auxiliary fuel
hose before you manually start
the generator.
2.
After the generator starts, put
the auxiliary fuel hose back in
the same spot.
3.
Check the primary fuel hose to
make sure no rubbed spots are
showing up. If your fuel hose is
already cut or damaged, it must
be replaced!
