Generac Q-70G Recreational Vehicle Generator
1.6 SPECIFICATIONS
♦ 1.6.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
These generators are equipped with a gasoline fuel sys­
tem. Depending on the installation, the generator may
have either a separate fuel tank, or it may “share” the
vehicle engine’s fuel tank.
NOTE:
Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may
have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter
than the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an
arrangement causes the generator engine to “run
out of gas” while adequate fuel for the vehicle
remains in the tank.
lb reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality
UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded REG­
ULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute.
NOTE:
Using unleaded gasoline contributes to longer
engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon
deposits.
---------Jk CAUTION Jk---------------
Generac does not recommend using any
gasoline containing alcohol (such as "gasohol").
If you use any gasoline containing alcohol, it
must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol,
and it must be removed from the generator
during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline
containing methanol. If you use gasoline with
alcohol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks
and other abnormalities.
