Abstract
A fuel fill pipe shelf for a generator set fuel tank is mounted in the upper end of a tower of the fuel tank. The fuel pipe shelf comprises an insert which is welded into an opening in the upper end of the fuel tank. The insertcupies a volume which otherwise would be part of the interior of the fuel tank. The fuel fill, vent and fuel gage are all supported on the fuel shelf. As a result, the fuel fill, fuel gage and vent are all within a protected recess in the fuel tank.
