From Diesel Service & Supply, Inc.
Generators supply auxiliary electric power during outages of power supply from the local electricity distribution company. This is done by using input mechanical energy to initiate combustion of fuel and converting the energy released to electrical energy. Please read this article for more information on how a generator creates electricity. If no fuel is available to the generator during power outages then the purpose of the generator is lost. Hence it is essential to store fuel so that such an eventuality does not arise. The fuel is stored in specially designed fuel tanks. Several factors need to be considered while selecting and installing the appropriate generator fuel tank.
