The correct air/fuel ratio is very important for the following considerations:

Achieving optimum service life for the engine

If the air/fuel ratio is not appropriate for the fuel and the operating conditions, a failure of the engine may occur. The service life of the turbocharger,

the valves, and other components may be reduced.

Fluctuations of the fuel pressure can change the air/fuel ratio. For high pressure gas fuel systems, the maximum fluctuation that is allowed in the

SEN :35-
fuel pressure to the engine is 3.4 kPa (0.50 psi). For low pressure gas fuel systems, the maximum fluctuation that is allowed in the fuel pressure to
the engine is 1.7 kPa (0.25 psi).

Gas Pressure Regulator R

The gas pressure regulator maintains a pressure differential between the air and the fuel that is supplied to the carburetor. Set the pressure of the

Cat 1 C 2
fuel supply to a maximum of 1.5 kPa (6 inches of H2O) more than the pressure of the air supply. The gas pressure regulator will maintain the
pressure differential in response to changes in the air pressure.

e r
Con pilla terpi a
A water manometer is used to measure the pressure differential. This measurement is taken when the engine is operating at high idle rpm. When a
load is applied, the fuel pressure will usually decrease by approximately 0.25 to 0.5 kPa (1 to 2 inches of H2O). If the performance of the gas

r l
pressure regulator is erratic, the gas pressure regulator may require service.

To prevent particles from entering the engine, install a one micron fuel filter 1 m (3 ft) before the gas pressure regulator. The recommended filter is

Gre
the 4P-4717 Fuel Filter with the 4P-4720 Gas Filter Element.
