Common problems

1
  • NG fuel system input pressure drops below 30 PSI (207 kPa) for a certain time frame
    Cause: Low NG fuel pressure
    Fix: The unit attempts to switch to the LPL fuel source. Almost immediately after the switch, a warning activates and the controller displays message FUEL PRESS Lo (Figure 15). The warning stops when NG input pressure rises to or above 30 PSI (207 kPa). Resetting the controller is unnecessary.
