Connect the other end of the auxiliary hose to the generator set external fuel
supply connection and tighten. The connection is located near the generator’s fuel
tank Fll cap. It should be labeled with an identiFcation plate that reads,
External
Fuel Supply.
Now, take the fuel container adapter and Ft it into the external fuel supply’s 5-gal
can or 55-gal drum. Secure the adapter in place by pressing down on the strainer
clamp.
To get the fuel flowing, turn the Master
Switch on the generator control panel to
the
PRIME & RUN AUX FUEL
position.
This activates the auxiliary fuel pump and
transfers fuel from the external fuel supply
to the generator fuel tank. All TQGs have a
fuel level float in their fuel tank that shuts off
the auxiliary pump when the tank is full and
starts it again when needed to reFll the tank.
It’s important to remember that the auxiliary fuel pump has a Flter, NSN 2940-01-
365-6535, that must be clean. The auxiliary fuel pump and Flter are located behind
the front housing panel on the left side. If you use an auxiliary fuel source, replacing
this Flter must be a part of your regular PMCS. Replace it when it’s clogged or
when the primary fuel Flter is changed.
Here are a few other things to remember when using an auxiliary fuel source:
•
The auxiliary pump should never be operated unless the pump is connected to a
fuel source.
•
Keep the fuel hose between the fuel source and the generator well identiFed and
away from boots that could kick it loose.
•
Keep the fuel hose as straight as possible to ensure a free flow of fuel.
•
The length of your stay in the area should be considered when planning your
auxiliary fuel point. A longer stay may mean more security and greater safety
requirements.
•
Examine the area for possible sources of fuel contamination and eliminate those
sources before you start pumping fuel.
•
Direct the exhaust from the generator away
from the auxiliary fuel supply point.
Well, Specialist A. T., that should get you
started pumping fuel and spare your feet.
