What will bad Impact if Air in Fuel of Generator?
Air in Fuel
Fuel is flammable. Keep
all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment and switches out to the
work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility of severe personal
injury or death when working on the fuel system.
Do not vent the fuel

which can cause a fire.
How to bubble test of diesel generator fuel?
The low pressure fuel
system for diesel generator installation in the vehicle consists of the fuel
tank lines between the tank and the engine transfer pump and lines and fuel
filter and lines. Air or bubbles at the injection pump can cause the engine not
to operate or erratic engine operation and subsequent malfunction of the injection pump. Air can be
introduced by leaks in the fuel system prior to transfer pump since the fuel in
the lines in under a vacuum and can draw air into the system. Bubbles can result
from any number of restrictions in the system
1.
Plugged fuel filter
2.
Crimped fuel line
3.
Stopped up tank module
4.
Inoperative transfer pump.
If sufficient fuel reaches the injection pump from the low pressure system then solutions to engine operation problems are elsewhere. The following steps will aid in evaluating low pressure fuel system performance
For cold start or
performance problems perform following
steps
1.
Leave vehicle outside in cold
environment for at least 12 hours
2.
Perform outlined test
3.
If the system fails to meet test
criteria replace the fuel lift pump.
