Generac 6506 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac 6506 tank riser fit my Protector series diesel generator?
The 6506 tank riser is made for Generac 30 kW and 50 kW Protector series diesel generators. It bolts to the bottom of the base tank on those units. If your Protector diesel is a different kW rating, or you have an air cooled gaseous standby unit, this is not the riser for it.
2) Do I need to drill the fuel tank to install a Generac tank riser?
No drilling. The 6506 risers attach through mounting holes already provided in the bottom of the base tank, so it is a bolt-on install on the 30 kW and 50 kW Protector diesel units.
3) Why would a generator installation require a tank riser at all?
Two reasons. Some municipalities require the base tank to be elevated off the ground, and raising it keeps the tank from sitting flat on a rough pad or gravel, which is where base tank corrosion starts. The 6506 is a set of powder painted steel channels that lift the tank clear.
4) Is the Generac 6506 riser coated for outdoor use next to a standby generator?
The channels are thick steel with a powder painted finish, which is what protects them in an outdoor pad-mounted setting underneath the fuel tank.
5) What part number do I order for a Generac diesel generator tank riser?
Order Generac part 6506. That single MPN covers the tank riser accessory for the 30 kW and 50 kW Protector series diesel sets. It is manufactured in Mexico.
6) Does the Generac 6506 tank riser come in different sizes or heights?
No options to pick. The tank riser is sold as one configuration, model 6506, sized for the 30 kW and 50 kW Protector diesel base tanks.
7) Are there shipping restrictions on the Generac 6506 tank riser?
None. The 6506 steel tank riser carries no shipping or handling restrictions, unlike fuel or battery items that often do.
