Verifying a minimum oil storage of 10,000 gallons is at the
- station, 3.
Verifying the fuel transfer pump can be started and transfer fuel from the storage system to the day tank, 4.
Verifying the diesel starts from normal standby conditions, 5.
Verifying the generator is synchronized, loaded to at least 1950 kw but less than the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> rating of 2250 kw and operates for at least 60 minutes but less than 120 minutes, 6.
