Fuel Conversion - GE HOME GENERATOR SYSTEMS Installation And Start-Up Manual

fuel conversion

The engine of your home generator system is factory
calibrated to run on natural gas (NG). It may also be operated
on liquefied petroleum (LP) vapor. There is no additional
hardware/equipment required to switch between either
fuel. However, LP fuel inlet pressure must be between
11 and 14 inches water column at full load with all gas
appliances turned on and operating.
to configure the generator fuel system for LP use:
1. Open control panel and oil fill access doors.
2. Set generator's system switch to off.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
4. Remove cap from LP inlet on T-valve (G).

G
5. Remove fuel line from NG inlet.
6. Place cap from LP inlet onto NG inlet.
7. From oil fill access area, pull fuel line (f) out of top hole
and route it through bottom hole.
Failure to route fuel line through bottom hole may cause
the fuel line to kink. When tightening fuel hose fittings make
certain the fuel hose does not twist or kink. If the fuel line
kinks, the generator may start but will not operate properly.
8. Connect fuel line (f) to T-valve's LP inlet.
9. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
10. Set generator's system switch to auto.
11. Close control panel and oil fill access doors.
The system is now ready to operate automatically using
LP fuel. With a fixed main jet for LP gas, there is no need to
perform any engine adjustments for LP operation.
