Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquidpropane (LP) gas are highly explosive. Eventhe slightest spark can ignite such fuels andcause an explosion. No leakage of fuel ispermitted. Natural gas, which is lighter thanair, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas isheavier than air and tends to settle in lowareas.NOTE:A minimum of one approved manual shut-off valve must beinstalled in the gaseous fuel supply line. The valve must be eas-ily accessible. Local codes determine the proper location.1.10 RECONFIGURING THE FUEL SYSTEM1.10.1 8 KW, 410CC ENGINETo reconfigure the fuel system from NG to LP, follow these steps(Figure 1.4):NOTE:The primary regulator for the propane supply is NOT INCLUDEDwith the generator.
