Fuel Gauges

Without a fuel gauge, it can be difficult to determine exactly how much fuel is left in the tank. A fuel gauge ensures that you will know precisely how much fuel your generator has. These products are all of extremely high quality and are designed to last. You can choose from mechanical fuel gauges, with or without a sensor alarm. The mechanical fuel gauges allow for both level measurement and level display without the need for a power supply.

Sensor Alarms

this will alert you to a low level of fuel in your generator. You can choose from a large selection of sensors including single tube sensors or those that are included in the fuel gauge. A huge benefit of a sensor alarm is that the possibility of your generator running out of fuel is minimised. The sensors are manufactured using materials that prevent it from corroding, ensuring longevity and durability.

Flanges

Your generator needs a fuel tank. The fuel tank needs a mechanical gauge which is attached to the tank. It can be effectively done using the right flange. For your convenience, you can choose from a 6-hole standard flange, or the welding flange option. The standard 6-hole flange is available in metric or BSP sizes. Made from an aluminium alloy, it is strong and durable and is not susceptible to corrosion. The welding flange is typically used when the tank’s metal is sufficiently thick to allow for welding. While the flange is lightweight, it is extremely strong and once welded to the tank it will not separate easily.

Investing in these products ensures that your generator will operate smoothly and efficiently. There is no need for concern about minimal fuel with our flanges, sensor alarms and fuel gauges.

How carry out maintenance on your generator

To begin with, a lubrication service is one of the most important maintenance practices. This must be done when the generator is shut down. Check the oil level using a dipstick and top it up using the recommended oil grade. The oil and filter should be regularly changed and this should be done every 150 hours of running time. The coolant level should be checked as often as the oil level. Some generators require a mixture of water, antifreeze and coolant additives. The radiator can be carefully cleaned of dirt and foreign particles by washing it out with low-pressure compressed air and water. Diesel fuel is subject to contamination and corrosion within a period of a year and therefore regular operation of the generator is necessary to use up the fuel before it degrades.

Regular maintenance

Your generator is the only means of keeping your factory running in the event of a power outage. To ensure that it will work when it is needed, the following steps should be followed:

• Routine maintenance: this should take place as any faulty parts will be identified and then replaced.
• Run it once a month to lubricate all working parts: a monthly run for five or ten minutes will lubricate all the moving parts and keep them in good order.
• Change the fuel: this should preferably be changed every three to six months.

Early warning systems

Water and oil don’t mix, and when water gets into systems where only oil should be, bad things happen. That’s why our MGS – 250 Mechanical Gauge with Sensor Alarm is a top seller. We have it in multiple sizes (120mm to 300mm). It detects any water present in your tanks. The gauge fits standard size tanks, threading itself into place. If your tank has no attachment port, you can buy standard six-hole flange, or buy a weld-flange if your tank is metallic. The alarm rings to alert you to water levels, so if it’s an oil or fuel tank, you want all water out. But you can also use it in water tanks, to let you know when the water is too low and needs refilling.

Keeping things cool

Generators create electricity, and with all those moving parts, your equipment will emit a lot of heat. It’s why your fans wear out the fastest, so they’ll regularly need replacement parts. Our FSH fans are cheap and long lasting, so you won’t have to buy them as often as other brands. They cool your machinery by pulling in air from the surroundings. Our fans come in different sizes (101 and 102) to provide an exact fit on the spinning shaft and avoid accidents. Tighter fits also minimize vibration, which could damage your equipment. Plus, we have a convenient online store so you can order anytime!
