Generac 6502 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac 6502 spill box fit my diesel generator's base tank?
The 6502 spill box screws directly into the existing fuel fill port on the base tank, and Generac lists it as compatible with all Protector series diesel generators. If your unit is a Protector series diesel with a base fuel tank, it threads into the fill port you already have, so there is no cutting or new tank prep involved.
2) What does a generator spill box actually do during fueling?
It is a containment can that sits at the fill point. When a fuel delivery overfills or the nozzle drips, the 5 gallon spill box catches and holds that fuel instead of letting it run down the tank and onto the pad. For facilities that have to keep fuel off the ground around a standby genset, it is the simplest way to contain spillage at the fill process itself.
3) How much fuel will the Generac 6502 spill box hold?
Five gallons. That capacity is sized for catching overfill and nozzle drip at the fill port, not for storing fuel, so it should be pumped out or drained after a spill event rather than left full.
4) Can the spill box be locked so nobody tampers with the fuel fill?
Yes. The 6502 has a cover latch that accepts a lock, which matters on unattended or public-facing sites where the fill port is a tamper target. The latch is part of the enclosure, so you only need to add your own padlock.
5) Is a Generac spill box rated for outdoor installation year round?
It is built as a weatherproof enclosure of powder painted steel and pipe, so it is intended to live outdoors at the generator the same way the base tank does. The powder paint is what protects the steel from the fuel-and-weather exposure at a fill point.
6) Do I need a contractor to install the Generac 6502, or can my maintenance tech do it?
Installation is a thread-in at the existing base tank fuel fill port, which Generac describes as easy installation. No new penetrations in the tank and no electrical work, so in-house maintenance staff can typically handle it. Fuel should be secured and the tank fill isolated before the port is opened.
7) What is the Generac part number for the diesel generator spill box, and where is it made?
The part is Generac 6502, sold as a single model with no size or finish options to select. Country of origin is Mexico, and it carries no shipping restrictions.
