Abstract
A self contained motor generator set including an integral fuel tank, which defines a space which supports and partially contains the motor, generator and related components. The exhaust pipe of the motor passes through an opening in the fuel tank. The fuel tank and an outer cover cooperate with the radiator and fan of the motor cooling system to define a cooling air flow path. Ambient air for cooling the motor is drawn through openings in the front of the cover, through the radiator and into the space containing the components to pressurize the space. Air exits from the space through the exhaust pipe opening in the fuel tank and through outlet openings in the cover.
