AREAS REQUIRING SPECIAL
DIESEL TANKS
Many states and Regions have specific requirements,
for fuel tanks. During tank installation planning,
check with local building authorities, local Fire Chief,
or other regional authorities. Known areas
requesting special diesel tank equipment are: The
States of Florida, Michigan, and Washington, plus
areas of New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
DAY TANKS
All GILLETTE diesel fuel tanks are designed to fit
underneath generator set. Special precautions are
required to lift these two parts, now considered one
assembly, and at much heavier total weight.
If fuel tank is shipped loose from generator set, for
purpose of mounting tank remotely from generator, a
separate diesel fuel “Day Tank” may be required.
There are small 5-10 gallon tanks to allow fuel to
immediately reach engine, rather than having engine
crank at longer intervals, to get fuel finally to reach
engine.
