Well, the PDF I have for the TR2 service manual says 4 liters. The dipstick it shows is type B, and has markings on it.

 What was the part# on your new OEM Tr2 dipstick that you purchased ? Might there be another type?
Are you looking at a service book or parts book?  If you are using a service book and it is showing a type B than there might be another type, A, C for instance. Might be better to look at a parts book and see how many dipsticks were made for the same engine depending on application.

Obviously you cannot measure the old dipstick length and compare with the new one. If you could then maybe transfer the mark.

 Find a parts manual and compare your engine serial number for the correct dipstick type.

Or you are just unlucky and got the completely wrong dipstick sent to you by mistake. Who knows but should not be too hard to figure out.

General rule of thumb on fuel consumption,is 1/10th of a gallon per kw hour,whilst it's likely yours has an Isenthal regulator there are modern electronic avr's that will work instead of,EA05AF,and there's Roper electronics in the Uk,with FWR120-10,but he might be retired by now

Well, I'm not going to argue because I don't know.  My motor bike takes almost 4Lt and this volume seems rather low for a thumping twin diesel.  Maybe it is a misprint in your manual.  You'll have to wait until the experts reply

Thanks for the reply.
It is an automatic control panel and it has specific warnings for temperature and oil pressure. The error condition icon, which comes up after 3 attempts to start, is a generic error so doesnīt indicate anything more than an error.
I have read in an earlier post that the control panel can become faulty. It would be a guess to replace it.
As I mentioned earlier, there is only 5V input from the excitor to the AVR on the initial start up. I do not know whether this is normal or not. When I dismantled the alternator I couldnīt see anything wrong with the stator or rotor.
An additional point is that this generator is only a back-up to the solar system and due to restraints at the inverter, only ever runs at about 1/4 load so no undue stresses.

Lister Based Generators / TR2 oil dipstick
« Last post by madlabs on November 28, 2024, 10:46:27 PM »
Hey All,

I recently bought an actual Lister-Petter dipstick for my TR2. It came with no markings on it at all. What is up with that?

Secondly, I have the oil filled to 4 liters and it is barely on the dipstick at all, like maybe 1/8". Should I have more that 4 liters in a TR2? That is what the manual says.

Thanks!
