Fuel problems cause a large share of generator failures. Gasoline breaks down over time and leaves varnish and deposits in the tank and carburetor. Standby generators on natural gas or propane can have supply, regulator or valve problems.

  • Stale fuel and varnish in the tank and carburetor
  • A clogged fuel filter or fuel line
  • A cracked or leaking fuel line
  • A closed fuel valve or low fuel pressure
  • A regulator problem on natural gas or propane units

If you smell fuel, do not try to start the generator. Shut off the fuel supply if it is safe to do so and call for help. Repairs include draining and cleaning the system, replacing filters and lines, and testing the generator under load.

Generator Fuel System Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Generator Fuel System Repair

Questions we hear most often about Generator Fuel System Repair in El Cajon, CA.

Talk to a real person
Why won't my home generator start?
The most common causes are a weak or dead battery, stale fuel or a clogged fuel filter, a dirty air filter, a worn spark plug, low oil, or a control board fault. Check whether the generator shows an error code, and note whether it clicks, cranks or does nothing. Those details point to the cause.
How often should a home generator be serviced?
Follow the maintenance schedule in your generator's manual, because intervals vary by model. Most standby generators need service at least once a year, and portable generators benefit from fresh fuel, an oil check and a test run before storm season.
What does an automatic transfer switch do?
It moves your home from utility power to the generator when the power goes out, and back again when it returns. It also prevents the generator from feeding power back into the grid, which protects utility workers.
Is it safe to repair a generator myself?
Basic checks like the oil level, battery and fuel are reasonable. Fuel systems, the transfer switch and anything connected to your home's wiring involve fire, shock and carbon monoxide risks, so they are best left to a qualified provider.
How much does generator repair cost?
It depends on the generator, the fault and the parts. A battery replacement is a different job from a fuel system or transfer switch repair. Call and describe the problem, and ask for an estimate.
