1.7.4 LP GAS VAPOR WITHDRAWAL SYSTEM

This type of system utilizes the vapors formed above
the liquid fuel in the supply tank (see Figure 1.3).
Approximately 10 to 20 percent of the tank capacity
is needed for fuel expansion from the liquid to the
vapor state. Gas pressure requirements for an LP
vapor system at the frame of the generator are the

same as those listed for natural gas in "The Natural
Gas System". See Table 1 for information regarding
the vapor capacity of LP tanks. The installer should
be aware of the following:

• When ambient temperatures are low and engine

fuel consumption is high, the vapor withdrawal
system may not function efficiently.

• Ambient temperatures around the supply tank

must be high enough to sustain adequate vaporiza-
tion or the system will not deliver the needed fuel
volume.
