(6) Miscellaneous Construction. Construct
a compartment for fuel storage outside of the re-
vetment, as shown by figure 4-1 and 4-4. The size of
the fuel storage area will depend upon the size of
the fuel container to be used. Since the temperature
within the revetment will build up considerably
above the outside ambient temperature, when the
generator set is operating, always locate the fuel
supply outside the revetment to minimize the haz-
ard associated with gasoline stored at high tem-
peratures. For the same reason, it is recommended
that the fuel can located on the generator set not be
used when the generator set is used in a revetment
or a revetted area. Pipe the exhaust gases from the
engine to the outside of the revetment. The installa-
tion should be similar to that shown by figure 4-7. If
flexible pipe is not available for use in exhaust ex-
tension, a piece of exhaust pipe or other similar pipe
may be used. The point at which the exhaust dis-
charge will go through the revetment will depend
entirely upon the material that is available. The ex-
haust gases may or may not be discharged into an
external exhaust chimney constructed as shown by
figure 4-1. Such a chimney aids in carrying the ex-
haust gases away from the revetment and will re-
duce the noise level. Construct a revetment doorway
shield, as shown by figures 4-1, 4-2 and 4-6. This
shield is to be a wall, 0.9 meter (3.0 feet) high and
2.3 meters (7.5 feet) long, constructed in a manner
similar to the revetment walls to prevent the direct
entrance of projectiles or fragments.
