Back-up power generators are an essential feature in data centres across the world; ensuring that, even in the event of a power failure, the building's computer system is still provided with power and no data is lost. The generator's fuel pipework system also plays an essential role in this, supplying fuel from storage tanks through to the diesel generator, which in turn provides power.
