Winco Emergency Fuel Solenoid Shut-Off for HPS12000HE

You probably won't be camping out by your generator the entire time during its use. You want to be comfortable with your family with the peace of mind that your generator is running safely. But on a rare occurrence, say the oil is low, the generator stops running. But the gas is still feeding the engine. This is a potential danger. With a low pressure fuel solenoid, its valve will close off the gas if the generator stops running, never allowing gas to escape into the air.

I have a Winco Tri-Fuel generator. When I connected it to an LPG tank and tested it ... it run perfect but after shutting it down I forgot to close the LPG tank valve. Went inside and for a few minutes to sip a glass of water. Then when I came back I smelled the presence of gas emanating from the generator. The gas could be traced and coming out from the air filter area. Shut off the tank valve and look what is missing....

This valve saves the day. It works perfect. Push the manual button and the power is coming out from the battery but after it started the solenoid draws power from the generator and as soon as you shut off the generator the gas flow shuts off automatically. The price is a little bit high $199 but the safety is of more concern and have a peace of mind that the valve is " Gas " rated as well as electrical component.
