Fuel smell around generator or visible fuel leakage from unit.

Safety first: Immediately turn controller to OFF, shut off gas supply at the main valve, and avoid sparks or flames. Ventilate the area.

• Locate leak source: Use a soap-and-water solution on LP/NG fittings to identify bubbles indicating leaks. For liquid fuel, visually trace wet areas.
• Tighten or replace fittings: Carefully tighten loose flare or threaded fittings. Replace any cracked flexible hoses with Briggs & Stratton-approved fuel hose.
• Carburetor leaks: If fuel drips from the carburetor, replace the bowl gasket and inspect the float needle for debris.
• Regulator issues: If the regulator vents gas, replace the regulator assembly and ensure proper orientation and venting.
• Test for leaks: After repairs, turn gas back on and recheck all joints with leak-detection solution before restarting.
