Strong fuel smell around the generator during or after operation, but no specific error code is displayed.

Safety first: Turn the generator OFF and close the gas supply valve if the smell is strong. Ventilate the area and keep ignition sources away.

• Inspect gas connections: Check all visible unions, flexible hoses, and regulator connections for looseness. Tighten gently with appropriate wrenches.
• Soap‑test joints: Apply a soap‑water solution to suspect joints with the gas valve slightly open and watch for bubbles. Repair or replace leaking fittings.
• Check exhaust routing: Ensure the exhaust outlet is not directing fumes toward air intakes or building openings, which can cause lingering odor.
• Combustion check: If odor persists without leaks, have a technician verify gas pressure and combustion quality to correct rich running conditions.
