Generator installation with jet fuel
Generator installation with jet fuel
(OP)
Guys/Gals,
I'm currently working on a project to design a generator plant for an airport. The units are to typically run on diesel fuel but can be run on jet fuel in case of an emergency.
Does anyone have any experience regarding this type of installation?
Specifically, do the generators need to be constructed to Class 1, Division 2 standards?
Any other tips or notes regarding your installation you would like to share?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Since you're dealing with petroleum distillates, hazardous location electrical equipment is not required.
