Never Use Galvanized Piping on Your Fuel Supply Line!

Never supply your FG Wilson generator set with diesel fuel through galvanized piping or diesel fuel that has been stored in galvanized tanks.
Even though this is clearly pointed out in the installation manual provided with your FG Wilson generator set time after time we see early hour failures of injection pumps and injectors due to galvanized piping.
Diesel fuel dissolves the zinc coating and forms a solution that contaminates the fuel supply.
This contaminated fuel will inevitably ends up in the engine’s fuel pump and/or injectors.
One cannot assume this solution will be completely filtered out.
Premature failure will be imminent, if allowed to reach the engine’s internal components.
We recommend black iron, steel or copper piping and storage tanks in order to avert this.
