  • Patent number: 10851719
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for supplying fuel to fuel-injected gensets in a recreational vehicle. An apparatus includes a fuel injection system having a fuel reservoir and a first pump fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and structured to supply fuel to the fuel reservoir. The fuel injection system is further provided with a pressure sensor and a second pump. The second pump is fluidly coupled to the pressure sensor and structured to provide pressurized fuel from the fuel reservoir to one or more fuel injectors of an associated engine. The second pump is a variable speed fuel pump.

  • Patent number: 9708950
    Abstract: A genset comprises an engine; an alternator, an exhaust system, a controller, and at least one of an intake system, an EVAP system, a fuel injector, an EGR system, a SAI system and an aftertreatment system. The controller is configured to control at least a portion of the genset. The controller is in electrical communication with one or more of the alternator, the EVAP system, the EGR system, the SAI system and the aftertreatment system via communication circuitry. Furthermore, the controller is configured to: (a) receive an electrical output from the alternator via the communication circuitry, (b) determine a load on the alternator from the electrical output, which corresponds to mechanical load on the engine, and (c) generate an electrical signal configured to at least partially control operation of at least one of the EVAP system, the EGR system, the SAI system and the aftertreatment system via the communication circuitry.
