1980 Questions for all other cars 200000 miles

This is not a car question and I am really searchng for someone who might steer me toward help/ I am the caretaker for a remote fishing lodge on BC's west coast. There is an Allison 70kw diesel generator that I use as a back-up but it blows a fuse in the control panel every time I hit the pre-start button then the ignition. I realize this is a car repair forum but can anyone please steer me in a direction I can get assistance possibly. Thanks greatly. Getting a certified mechanic in here is virtually impossible and would be brutally costly, so if there is any help and I can fix this piece. Great!
Thanks

What does the fuse do? Is it for the glow plugs? If it is then you may need to replace some pre heaters. Try disconnecting all of them and then hook them up one at a time and see who the bad guy is. Repost to me if you need more assistance
