Abstract
In the frame of an engine generator are arranged an engine, a generator adjacent to the engine, and a fuel tank disposed above the generator. A muffler of the engine is disposed on a side of the fuel tank, and a heat shield plate is provided in the frame and interposed between the muffler and the fuel tank. Accordingly, the muffler can be disposed in the vicinity of the fuel tank while avoiding an adverse influence of the radiation of heat from the muffler of the engine on the fuel tank, and the degree of freedom in layout of the engine can be increased.
