The Method to Install Cummins Diesel Genset Fuel Tank

The fuel tank of Cummins diesel generator set shall be equipped with side oil inlet, top return port, liquid level observation pipe, top oil filler, top vent cap, bottom oil drain bolt, etc. In terms of installation, the installation height of the oil tank shall be on the same level as Cummins diesel generator set.

In the use of diesel generator set, the fuel tank is an indispensable part, so what functions does the fuel tank of the generator set need to have? What are the installation precautions? This article is simply explained by the company.

1. The oil tank of the generator set shall be equipped with side oil inlet (5-10 cm from the bottom of the oil tank with valve, and the inner diameter of the oil inlet shall not be less than 1.5 times of that of the diesel engine).

2. The oil tank of diesel generator set shall be equipped with top oil return port (the inner diameter of oil return port shall not be less than 1.5 times of that of diesel engine).

3. The fuel tank of the Cummins generator set shall be equipped with a liquid level observation pipe (the maximum and minimum oil quantity lines for normal and safe operation shall be set, and the maximum and minimum oil quantity alarm shall be added when necessary)

4. The oil tank of generator set shall be equipped with top oil filling port

5. The oil tank of generator set shall be equipped with top vent cap (vent hole, which shall be extended to outdoor if necessary)

6.The oil tank of generator set shall be equipped with bottom oil drain bolt

In addition, the installation height of the fuel tank should be on the same level as that of the diesel generator set, and the height of the maximum fuel line of the fuel tank should not exceed 30 cm (CM) of the height of the diesel engine nozzle of the diesel generator set, and the minimum capacity line should not be lower than 80 cm (CM) of the diesel engine inlet. If the fuel tank is installed too high, some models will drip diesel oil from the fuel injection nozzle due to the pressure of diesel oil when they are in standby for a long time. Diesel oil will drip into the cylinder and oil will drip out of the exhaust pipe for a long time.If the fuel tank is installed too low, the diesel generator may not start normally. Because the lift of some diesel engine manual oil pump is 0.8 m (m), the minimum oil volume in the oil tank should be ensured, which should not be less than 80 cm (CM) of the height of the diesel engine oil inlet.
