Generators & Carbon Monoxide Safety

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

A recent tragedy in which a woman was killed by carbon monoxide given off by a barbecue highlights the deadly nature of carbon monoxide.

Carbon Monoxide is completely odourless , colourless gas, all engine driven equipment, generators, pressure washers, water pumps will give off carbon monoxide in  their exhausts.

Carbon Monoxide can kill you within minutes so it’s very important to follow a few basic rules to ensure your safety.

  • Never use a generator or any other engine driven equipment indoors.
  • Never use a generator or any other engine driven equipment in a partially enclosed space, this includes garages, workshops, sheds. Open doors and windows are just not adequate enough to halt a build up of carbon monoxide.
  • Only ever use outdoors
  • When using outdoors, make sure the exhaust is away from any building intakes.
  • If necessary close windows and block vents to prevent fumes being blown into a building.

Fuel Storage

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Over time, the quality of fuel left in your fuel tank reduce. This can lead to starting issues especially when dealing with seasonally used fuel driven apparatus such as mowers or a camping generator.

Petrol can become stale, leading to ‘gumming’ up of the fuel lines and fuel pump and tank. Diesel can do a similar thing called ‘waxing.’  Fuels sold at you local petrol station will contain additives to help delay this process but even they can only do so much.

Here are a few tips to try and get the best out of stored fuel.

1. Try and keep fuel in an airtight container, an absolutly airtight container can help prolong its optimum life to up to 6 months before any significant detoriation begins to occur.

2. A higher octane fuel will detoriate at a slower rate than a less quality fuel.

3. Consider using a fuel stabiliser. A good quality fuel stabiliser used at the optimum dilution can help protect a tank of fuel for a few years.
