Anonymous Poster	Generator - Deutz E11.4 FM 2011 09/07/2010 3:20 AM
	Hey! The generator that we always use is a deutz E11.4 F2M 2011. the problem is that, when it is running and the fuel level is on 100% but fuel spills out through where the floater is located. What does that mean? 1.Is it because the floater is faulty causing the genset to over load? 2.Is it because the timing of the solenoid is not appropriate? 3.Is there another problem causing this to happen?

	Any or all of these. What does Deutz have to say on the subject? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	If it is running properly, the only problem you have is a faulty gasket on the carburetor bowl, or whatever houses the float, replace that and you should be fine. __________________ Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

	I'm not sure about the ratios with Deutz, but most diesels only burn about 1/3 of the fuel that flows to the engine the other is used to cool and lubricate the fuel system, 2/3 s is returned, If the tank isn't big enough the temperature will rise causing the fuel to expand, or agitaion of the fuel or the location of the fuel return.
