Generator Basics: Fuel Polishing
In previous articles, we’ve discussed fuel storage, stability and the importance of a fuel management plan. But what if the fuel you already have is fouled by water, bacteria, and sediment? Red Dye Diesel fuel can be expensive, reaching just under $4 a gallon in some areas. Replacing 5,000 or more gallons of dirty diesel fuel can put a serious dent…

What Is An Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR)?
An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a device used in generators with the purpose of automatically regulating voltage, which means that it will turn fluctuating voltage levels into constant voltage levels. AVRs work by stabilizing the output voltage of generators at variable loads, but can also divide the reactive load between generators that are running in parallel (voltage droop), and…
