Probably
nothing! That is, nothing that a good servicing
and minor improvements wouldn't cure. Other than that,
it's probably been doing its job just fine since it
was originally installed on your gas turbine in the
1960s.
The picture shows a reconditioned
Fuel Regulator monitored by the innovative-temperature-control
proximity probe (FRM-1 probe shown).
The Fuel Regulator (FR) was invented
in the 1940s for diesel locomotive applications and
later adapted by GE for land-based gas turbines. It
was applied to the first gas turbine package power plant
in 1961. Its popularity lasted the rest of the decade,
becoming the control system applied to hundreds of peaking
and emergency plants shipped after the Northeast Blackout
of November 1965. Thirty-five years of life is not too
shabby! What computer system these days can claim this
kind of in-service record?

Specialist Kim Graff Reassembles Fuel Regulator
The manufacturer recommends servicing
the FR and related fuel system components every five
years, though few owners have done it. One client waited
38 years! This could be dangerous! Sludge and dirt can
build up in the Fuel Regulator or related components
such as the Hydraulic Positioning Servo, which can result
in a catastrophic failure, as recently happened in Astoria,
NY. Also, wear is expected on the stabilizing rheostat,
and the many o-rings and gaskets can develop leaks.
Other fuel system components with similar problems can
also be serviced. Refer to the below list of related
components reconditioned by PAL Engineering.
