Strong fuel smell around Kipor standby generator during or after operation

Safety first: Shut down the generator, eliminate ignition sources, and ventilate the area. Wear gloves and eye protection.

• Step 1 – Visual inspection: Follow all fuel lines from tank to engine. Look for wet spots, drips, or stains on hoses, filter, and injection pump.
• Step 2 – Tighten fittings: Gently tighten hose clamps and threaded fittings. Do not overtighten plastic components.
• Step 3 – Replace damaged hoses: Any cracked or swollen fuel hose should be replaced with fuel‑rated hose of the same size.
• Step 4 – Check fuel filter and cap: Ensure the fuel filter is properly seated and its gasket is intact. Inspect the tank cap and vent for cracks or missing seals; replace if leaking.
