Flexible piping should be used to connect to the

engine to avoid damage or leaks caused by engine

vibration.

The fuel delivery line should pick up fuel from a

point no lower than 50 mm (2”) from the bottom of

tank at the high end, away from the drain plug.

10.5 Day Tank Capacity

The capacity of the day tank is based on the fuel

consumption and the expected number of hours of

operation that is requested between refills.

Particularly with standby generators, the availability

of fuel delivery service will determine the number of

operating hours that must be provided for. Don't

depend on quick service the very day your set

starts to operate. A power outage may hamper your

supplier's operation also.

In addition, the size of the day tank should be large

enough to keep fuel temperatures down, since some

engines return hot fuel used to cool the injectors.
