		<description><![CDATA[Portable Generator Erratic Engine Speed Engine speed is directly proportional to the amount of fuel the fuel pump sends to the fuel injector. The amount of fuel the pump can pump is controlled by a metering valve. This metering valve is part of the fuel pump assembly. The throttle moves this metering valve between closed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know you have two alternators on your generator?  Behind the flywheel of your engine is a smaller alternator. It is called the &#8220;Flywheel Generator&#8221;  The Flywheel Generators are used to produce power necessary to charge the starter battery. This little generator should not be confused with the much larger alternator that the engine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High Altitude Diesel Generator Use. Diesel engines work by compressing air with a piston to create heat necessary to ignite the fuel that is then directly injected into it. The hottest point is when the piston is at top dead center. Fuel injection happens at this point or slightly afterwards. The fuel bursts into flame [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Changing the oil filter is really easy on a portable diesel engine like the Yanmar 186 diesel motors BUT there are something you need to know. Watch for the little o-ring on the oil filter and make sure it is not pinched or damaged in anyway. If your oil filter does fit all the way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What to do when you can&#8217;t start a portable diesel generator. Diesel engines are very simple machines. When they fail it is often a fuel problem.  Less common is some mechanical engine failure that has resulted in a loss of compression. Loss of compression can be caused by a cracked engine, broken valve, warn piston [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Effects of Water On Diesel Fuel and Oil Premature engine ware including pitting of bearings is a indication of water contamination. The water has two effects; it causes corrosion of the surfaces, and it also disrupts or degrades the mechanism of lubrication. Rolling bearing lubrication is by elastohydrodynamic action (EHL or EHD lubrication), and the [...]]]></description>
