FAQ about LP fuel for generators:Can LP fuel plug up the regulator? | ||||
| The most common contaminants found in LP fuel are the oils from the LP pumping facility. The oil is removed from LP fuel at the location the fuel vaporizes. In liquid withdrawal LP fuel systems, this occurs in the regulator. Oil contaminants can then clog the regulator. The Marquis Platinum, Marquis Gold and Emerald Advantage liquid withdrawal LP fuel systems provide a drain for oil removal. See your Onan Certified RV Service and Parts Dealer for assistance. | ||||
| How is LP fuel supplied to my generator? | ||||
| LP
fuel is stored in the fuel tank in liquid form with some vapor at the top of the
tank at relatively high pressure. The pressure in the tank is determined by the
ambient (outdoor) temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure.
Ambient heat vaporizes fuel until the pressure won't allow any more liquid to
vaporize. The tank pressure will be about 200 psi at 110 degrees F, 70 psi at
40 degrees F, and 0 psi at -40 degrees F. In order for the fuel to be burned at a controlled rate in the generator (or any other appliance) it must be converted to a vapor form and supplied at a controlled pressure. LP fuel systems for many Onan generators are available in two forms, vapor withdrawal and liquid withdrawal. | ||||
| Should I get an LP or a diesel generator for my diesel motorhome? What are the differences? | ||||
| Each fuel option has its own advantages. LP generators generally have a lower initial cost than diesel units. Plus, they're smaller and lighter weight, allowing for more flexibility in the floor plan of large RVs. LP generators also have less exhaust fume smell. Diesel generators have a much longer engine life. They consume less fuel, and diesel fuel usually costs less than LP, which brings additional savings. A diesel generator gives you a common fuel system, and the convenience of operating your generator from the vehicle's main fuel supply. The generator best for you depends on how you use it and your own personal preferences. | ||||
| What are the advantages of an LP Vapor versus an LP Liquid fuel system? | ||||
| LP Vapor Withdrawal is a simpler system for the generator set, and uses the same low-pressure vapor system as other appliances. LP Liquid Withdrawal offers better operation in cold temperatures, and a complete vaporization pressure regulation system is on the generator from the factory. | ||||
| Will high-octane gasoline reduce the amount of fuel varnish? | ||||
| No, because varnish is a form of fuel degradation that is not a function of octane level. Rather, it is a function of fuel quality, age and additive treatment. High-octane fuel without a stabilizer additive will oxidize or varnish at a faster rate than fuel treated with a fuel stabilizer. | ||||
