Is Generator Using Gasoline or Propane?

[Resist]

None of the manuals that came with this 07 Dolphin say whether the generator uses gasoline or propane for fuel. How do I find out?

If the generator runs, the exhaust smell will tell you.

I can't tell from the exhaust smell, I'm a newbie at all this.

Turn the propane off and crank the gen. In ten minutes you should know.

It must be fueled by gasoline then, because the propane tank has been off. Thanks!

Keep in mind a gas generator will shut off when it gets down to about a quarter tank of gas.

Normally, generators share a fuel tank with powertrain of the coach. So, if it's a DP, then it's normally a diesel gen, gas engine - gas gen. Notice the post above this one, however, because a lot are set to not function if the fuel tank is at or below 1/4 tank. That way you don't get yourself stranded because the gen drank all the fuel.

Good to know, thanks!

The RV does not have a diesel engine.

LP gennys almost always have two regulators on the tank. One for the house and one for the genny.

I can't find another regulator on the tank.
