HIMOINSA GENERATOR SET FUEL SUPPLY: WHEN AND HOW SHOULD WE USE AN EXTERNAL TANK?
Using an external fuel tank with your Himoinsa generator set provides several advantages over the built-in fuel tank. The generator can run much longer between refuelling stops with a larger external tank. This extended runtime is critical for remote sites with limited fuel supplies.
An external tank also enables safe and convenient refuelling. Built-in tanks often require manual fuel pouring while the generator runs, which can be risky. An external tank can shut down the generator during refuelling for safety. The external tank can also have a pump for faster and cleaner refuelling directly from a fuel truck.
Connecting an external tank reduces maintenance needs and downtime. Built-in tanks require frequent inspection and cleaning as contaminants build up over time. External tanks are easier to access, clean, and maintain without needing to access the interior generator components.
External fuel tanks are also available in double-walled designs. This provides an added layer of spill containment, essential when operating near waterways or in environmentally sensitive regions. The outer wall contains leaks from the inner tank for improved safety and compliance.
An external tank improves generator stability in mobile applications like construction sites by lowering the centre of gravity. This wider footprint reduces the risk of tipping or movement of the generator. The external tank also reduces the weight on the generator trailer for easier towing.
Finally, external tanks allow for fuel consolidation. A single large tank can feed multiple Himoinsa generators on site, avoiding filling each generator. This saves labour, reduces risks of spills, and enables a centralised fuel supply.
With so many benefits, connecting an external tank to a Himoinsa generator is highly recommended for longer runtimes, safer operation, and reduced maintenance. The external tank provides a scalable fuel storage solution to increase reliability and productivity.
