From the info given so far, here’s the way I see this…The generator set (whether bolted to the vehicle or not) is likely to be:
UN 3528 MACHINERY, INTERNAL COMBUSTION, FLAMMABLE LIQUID POWERED, 3
(No Packing Group is allocated to this UN number)Without going into excessive technical stuff, the generator (including its internal fuel) is very likely to be not subject to ADR.
[For DGSA2… P005 and SP 363, which specifically mentions a generator and not being subject to other requirements of ADR. ]
=================================
Now for the 2,000L ‘thingy’
This ‘thingy’ could be a package OR a tank at this size, so we need to know what it really is.
The way to know is to look at the approval plate.
If the approval plate mentions an “ADR Tank Code” and a “Tank Test Pressure,” then it is a tank.
If the approval plate has the letters “UN” in a circle and a longish alphanumeric code, then it’s an IBC. (= a package.)
Wearing my ‘Mystic Dave’ pointy hat, my guess is that it’s probably an IBC, and the first part of the alphanumeric code is 31A/ followed by a “Y” or a “Z” plus some other letters/numbers which, if present, will confirm its status as a package.
If my guess is right, then a 2,000L IBC full of Diesel will need an ADR Card valid for ‘Other Than Tanks’ + at least Class 3 in that column on the Card.
Many thanks to DD for the reply…brilliantly explained!
Cheers and thanks Shrek,
