Advantages of Selecting a Base Fuel Tank for Diesel Generator Sets

The fuel tank is an indispensable component of diesel generator sets, generally divided into two types: base fuel tank and external fuel tank. Users can choose according to their own needs when purchasing. In order to facilitate users' decision-making, today Dingbo Electric will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the bottom fuel tank.

Advantages of the bottom fuel tank of diesel generator sets

1. The bottom fuel tank of the diesel generator set, as a part of the unit, is seamlessly integrated with the diesel generator set, with good overall integrity, compact structure, beautiful appearance, low oil leakage, and suitable for field operations.

2. The price and cost of the bottom fuel tank of diesel generator sets cannot increase significantly, which can save users' cost investment.

3. The bottom of the diesel generator set with an oil tank can reduce the footprint of the generator set in the machine room, effectively saving space in the generator room.

4. The bottom fuel tank of the diesel generator set includes a fuel filling port, fuel level display, inlet and outlet pipes, which are much more convenient for users of the generator set.

5. The bottom of the diesel generator set with an oil tank increases the contact area between the diesel generator set and the ground, enhances the load-bearing capacity of the diesel generator, and makes the operation of the diesel generator more stable.

Disadvantages of the bottom fuel tank of the diesel generator set

1. There are many inconveniences in the use and maintenance of the bottom fuel tank.

2. The bottom fuel tank is usually made of organic synthetic plastic, which is easily miscible with diesel. Domestic diesel contains more organic impurities and moisture, which further catalyze this bonding. However, the bottom fuel tank is not easy to discharge and maintain, resulting in the deposition of oil stains.

3. The bottom fuel tank is an optional accessory for the unit, and the base fuel tank of the incoming unit will be randomly imported, which has a higher price. Therefore, it is best for users to use an external fuel tank for easy maintenance and upkeep, and also to increase the fuel inlet pressure. If a bottom fuel tank is already equipped, it is best to elevate the unit or install a drainage pipe for easy cleaning and maintenance.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of the base fuel tank for diesel generator sets introduced by Dingbo Power. Through the introduction, we know that placing an external fuel tank has a slight advantage over a base fuel tank and is more convenient. Currently, most open frame diesel generator sets use an external fuel tank, while silent diesel generator sets often use a base fuel tank. When choosing the type of fuel tank, users should also consider whether it is suitable for the type of unit they choose. If you are unsure, you can directly consult a professional generator manufacturer for selection.
