Natural Gas (NG) Units are tested with natural gas before they leave the factory. If natural gas is to be used, no adjustments are required. When supplying natural gas as the operating fuel, 3 provide fuel with a minimum of 1000 BTU/ft at inlet pressures between 6" and 11" of water column (4 - 6 oz). Failure to meet these minimums will cause the generator to run poorly and/or may limit output to values below nameplate value. If fuel with these qualities is not available, contact the customer
