55 gallon drum fuel tank kit (does not include drum) $129
Diesel Generator Drum Tank Kit |
$129.00 |
This is another time and money saving accessory for your Diesel generator. Since drums are easy to come by and relatively inexpensive, it makes for a convenient way to store fuel. A clean drum usually sells for around 35 dollars. Since reliability of a Diesel generator depends on clean fuel, it is important to have a clean fuel source. If the drum ever gets condensation or algae build up, get rid of it and get a clean one. If fuel sits too long, use it for something else and get new fuel.
Kit includes everything shown above. Includes approximately 12.5 feet of premium quality american made 5/16 feed line and approximately 12.5 feet of 1/4 inch return line. Note all Diesel generators require a return line. This kit can also be used on a smaller drum or tank by simply cutting the pickup tube shorter. It can be used on a larger tank by adding a longer pickup tube. It is standard 3/8 inch NPT. We use high quality American made components in this kit.
Drum not included. Shown for display purposes only. Notice 3/4 inch NPT riser. If tank kit is installed in a building, vent needs to be extended outside of building. Always refer to State and local regulation when dealing with fuel. Using a 55 gallon drum for a fuel tank may not be legal. It is owners responsibility to find out prior to purchase. Many states require secondary containment such as a spill basin or double wall UL listed fuel tank. We have double wall UL fuel tanks available.
Kit includes a handy primer bulb for bleeding the fuel out of the line. Bleed fuel out of the line prior to hook up. Primer bulb is a helpful addition to the kit. Remember a Diesel generator will not run with air in the line. Although most Diesel generators will draw fuel from up to three feet below, gravity feed is more reliable.(Especially if engine sits for extended periods of time)
Shown above with "optional" stage one water separator fuel filter kit. Custom bracket conveniently hooks on top of drum for ease of installation. A very nice addition to the drum kit! Personally I would not run a Diesel generator without at least a 10 micron water separator fuel filter in line prior to engine primary fuel filter. This kit makes it easy.
