Generac 6517 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Generac generators does the 6517 stainless steel fuel line fit?
The Generac 6517 fuel line is made for the Generac Protector series diesel generators, specifically the 30 kW Protector series diesel units. It is not a universal fuel line, so if your unit is a different Protector kW rating or a gaseous (LP/natural gas) Protector, this is not the correct part.
2) My city requires stainless steel fuel lines on a diesel generator instead of rubber hose. Does this meet that?
That requirement is exactly why this part exists. Some municipalities do not allow the standard hoses shipped with Generac diesel generator packages and call for stainless steel fuel lines instead. The 6517 is braided stainless steel and fire resistant, and it is the factory line Generac supplies for that situation on 30 kW Protector series diesel sets. Check the specific wording of your local code with your AHJ, since the requirement language varies.
3) Is the Generac 6517 a genuine Generac part, and what part number do I order by?
It is a Generac factory part, ordered as part number 6517. That is the manufacturer part number to give your distributor or service tech, and it is the number stamped in Generac's Protector series diesel accessory listings.
4) What is the difference between the standard fuel hose that comes with a Generac diesel generator and the 6517 stainless line?
The kit shipped with the generator uses standard hose. The 6517 substitutes a braided stainless steel line, which is fire resistant and adds a margin of safety at the fuel connection. Functionally both deliver diesel to the engine; you buy the stainless version when code requires it or when you want fire-resistant material at the flexible connection instead of rubber.
5) Do I need one 6517 fuel line or two for a diesel generator install?
Diesel engines run a supply and a return line, so a typical Protector diesel installation uses a pair of flexible connections. The 6517 is sold as a single line under one model number, so order according to how many flexible connections your install drawing calls for rather than assuming one covers the whole hookup.
6) Can a property maintenance tech install the Generac 6517 fuel line, or does it need a licensed contractor?
Generac describes the line as an easy installation, and it is a direct swap for the flexible fuel connection on a 30 kW Protector diesel set. That said, it is a fuel connection: it needs to be torqued and leak checked, and many jurisdictions require licensed work on fuel piping for a permitted generator install. If the stainless line is being fitted to satisfy a code requirement, the inspection will almost certainly want a licensed installer on the paperwork.
7) Where is the Generac 6517 fuel line manufactured?
The 6517 stainless steel fuel line is manufactured in Mexico. It carries no shipping restrictions, which matters if you are consolidating a generator accessory order to a jobsite or a multi-site MRO drop.
