Fuel and Engines

Of course, you always have that option (especially in an emergency). However, it would be extremely unwise to do so. It is safest to stop the generator's engine and let it cool before you fill it with fuel. If you have a separate fuel tank at a safe distance from the engine, then you should not have any problems if you take appropriate safety precautions.

Even though GM still claims this is a "Small Block" the last of the real small blocks was built in the 2000's

Yes. It all depends on power versus weight.

Yes its using petrol unleaded while two stroke using two stroke oil

Take it back to point of purchase. It is not a biggy.

It usually means just a clean out of the tank and possibly the carb if you have tried to turn it over. They probably won't even have to replace the seals as they are essentially still new.

If your cleaner has a fuel tank tap, leave it turned off and that will mean that only the tank will need the clean.

An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.

There is no difference in 4 stroke and 2 stroke oil, except that 2 stroke uses non-detergent oil. 2 stroke oil is actually 30 weight non-detergent (30wt ND) oil. Oil with detergents will leave deposits in 2 stroke cylinders, and is not recommended.

James the Red Engine was created in 1946.

A 13B rotary engine operates on the Wankel principle, utilizing a triangular rotor that revolves within an oval housing. As the rotor spins, it creates distinct chambers that facilitate the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust processes in a continuous cycle. The design allows for fewer moving parts compared to traditional piston engines, resulting in a compact and lightweight engine that delivers high power output relative to its size. This unique configuration contributes to its characteristic smooth operation and high RPM capabilities.

That would usually denote the engine size as being 3.1 litres.

The injection rate is the number of injections. The injection pressure is the pressure the injection is under.

A turbo engine maintains a constant speed primarily through the use of a throttle control system that regulates the amount of air and fuel entering the combustion chamber. The turbocharger compresses incoming air, enhancing engine efficiency and power output. By adjusting the throttle position based on demand, the engine can achieve and sustain a desired speed, while the engine management system continuously monitors and fine-tunes parameters to maintain performance and efficiency. This allows the engine to operate smoothly at a constant speed, even under varying load conditions.

The engine valves on a Chevrolet Captiva should be adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, typically found in the owner's manual. It's generally advisable to check the valve clearance every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or if you notice symptoms like rough idling, decreased performance, or unusual engine noise. If the engine has been overheated or has high mileage, a valve adjustment may be necessary sooner. Always consult the specific service manual for your model year for precise specifications and intervals.

Slip in an engine, particularly in the context of a torque converter or electric motor, is calculated by taking the difference between the speed of the input (e.g., the engine speed) and the speed of the output (e.g., the driven load) and then dividing that difference by the input speed. The formula is:

[ \text{Slip} = \frac{(N_{\text{input}} - N_{\text{output}})}{N_{\text{input}}} \times 100% ]

This result gives the slip percentage, indicating how much the output speed lags behind the input speed.
