Have you noticed that the base of diesel generator sets is divided into two types: with fuel tank and without fuel tank? Generally speaking, the base fuel tank is an optional accessory for diesel generator sets. So, when purchasing a generator set, should you choose this type of diesel generator set with a fuel tank on the base? Today we will analyze it for everyone.
The diesel generator set with a fuel tank on the base has a good overall sense, compact structure, beautiful appearance and is easy to move. Compared with using an external fuel tank, it is much more convenient. This is the prominent advantage of this type of generator set. However, the bottom fuel tank is usually made of synthetic organic plastic, which is easy to dissolve with diesel. The mixture formed by the bonding of diesel and the fuel tank will clog the oil inlet pipe. This leads to poor oil passage, causing difficulties in starting the generator set, unstable speed after starting, and unexpected shutdowns and other faults. In addition, the bottom fuel tank is not easy to drain and maintain. If you have purchased a diesel generator set with a fuel tank on the base, it is better to raise the unit or set up a drain pipe to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
So, diesel generator sets with fuel tanks on the base on one side has both good advantages and bad disadvantages. When you make a purchase, everyone should choose based on their own priorities. On the other side, whether using an external fuel tank or a base fuel tank, it is necessary to pay attention to the cleanliness of the fuel line to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator set.
