How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately switch the generator OFF, shut off the fuel supply at the tank or gas valve, and keep all ignition sources away. Ventilate the area.
- Identify leak source: Wipe the area dry and observe where fuel reappears. Check hoses, filter housings, and tank seams.
- Tighten fittings: Carefully tighten hose clamps and threaded fittings at the Hyundai Power fuel filter and pump. Do not overtighten plastic components.
- Replace damaged hoses: Cut out cracked sections and replace with fuel-rated hose of the same size. Secure with new clamps.
- Inspect tank: Look for rust or pinholes in the fuel tank. Replace the tank if leaking; do not attempt unsafe repairs.
- Test before use: Restore fuel supply and check for leaks before restarting. Clean any spilled fuel.
