  • Patent number: 11427075
    Abstract: A fuel tank assembly includes a shell defining an opening therein, an access panel connectable to the shell and movable between a closed position where the opening is closed and an open position where the opening is open, and a fuel tank disposed in the shell and slidably engaged with the shell. The fuel tank and the opening are dimensioned such that the fuel tank is slidable out of the shell via the opening when the access panel is in the open position. A generator assembly and a method of servicing a fuel tank of a generator are also described.

  • Patent number: 10989361
    Abstract: A fuel tank includes a body defining a fuel holding cavity therein, a spill box attached to the body, a fill port for fluid communication with the fuel holding cavity, the fill port being disposed within the spill box, and an accumulation box disposed on a top of the body and defining a fuel overflow cavity therein that is in fluid communication with the fuel holding cavity. Methods of retrofitting a fuel tank and venting a fuel tank are also described.

  • Patent number: 5796245
    Abstract: A method for controlling the power supplied to a load (1) which is powered by an AC voltage source U with a period T via a generalised phase adjustment system, includes the steps of periodically delivering a sequence of p elements to the load (1), in accordance with a predetermined set power, wherein p is an integer and each element comprises n.sub.i periods T, where n.sub.i is an integer, during which the voltage U is divided symmetrically at an angle .alpha..sub.i, the consecutive phase angles .alpha..sub.i and .alpha..sub.i+1 being different, and the combination of angles .alpha..sub.1 . . . .alpha..sub.i , . . . .alpha..sub.p being selected in such a way that they limit current harmonics, and limit a flicker effect. The method is particularly suitable for power control in electric motors.
