What voltage and phase is your machine currently set to? Have you exercised the AM/VM AND Voltage Selection Switch (in the back of the operator control cube) a few dozen times? You need to do both, especially when the contact cleaner comes.... but just do the test now in exercising both pretty...

How do you know its got a bad gasket?

Welcome to SS. It happens, rebuilt or not. If you have already found a set on the auction site, you are ahead of the curve. Have you done any pressure testing?

Are you looking at a charger to plug in, or a maintenance solar unit? Are you charging one at a time, or both batteries?

I am assuming its the same fitting as all the other MEPs.... this link has a LOT of alternate manufacturers numbers for the same fuel line that you can look online for: https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/universal-military-generator-auxiliary-fuel-line-kit-fa1493fff3000/ You can...

I think the fuel fittings on these sets are AN-5.

I have a variation of this pump (no water separator or fixed upper spout... just goes to a heavy rubber hose with metal fitting (that tucks into the pump front for safe keeping). 27 gpm flow, and real easy turning. A super high quality unit. Edit: This is the exact pump...

It is an epoxy/phenolic coating, so yes, it does help with corrosion protection. https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-16914/Drums/Steel-Drum-55-Gallon-Closed-Top-Lined I have these. They will hold up to a specific gravity of 1.8 (diesel fuel is about .8 ). I have my drums up on a spill...

Well poly drums will never rust... so there is that. I personally have lined steel drums. I just felt better going with the lined steel, but poly should work just as well (I wanted metal threads at the top).

To the tune of $4k.... my DPF on my F350 needed to be replaced recently. This technology does not get my vote of approval.

Yeah brand new for that part on the big auction site is around $30. Used is even less.

The accessories are a crap shoot. I'd say over half of the units I have processed have not had them. Some have had multiple sets though!

That sucks. You are going to want to look for Onan DN4M, or Lister Petter LPW4. Same exact engine (Onan is a rebadged LP in this case).

And so the fun begins again. Ive got a couple hundred gallons put up... might work through it with my truck and tractor through this year, to put up fresh fuel before winter.

Welcome. First, lets make sure you have a functioning enter key (it helps to kill the wall-of-text effect). Helps make reading it easier for folks here too, to break future messages up into paragraphs. So you want to run 120/240... excellent. Very common. So you are aware of the voltage...

Thats why I ask how close or far away he is from a dwelling. A pipe can add a lot of down weight onto that muffler assembly (and where it bolts to the block). If it was supported against a structure, thats a whole different ballgame.

How close is it to the house? Like within 10 feet? How often do you run it? Is the smell of the fumes the worst trade off when the lights are out...? Does your wife smell it, or is it only the neighbors?

Its not designed to have anything in the path of the exhaust, and nothing good will come from adding anything. Can you move the genset to somewhere with different prevailing wind directions? Or greatly increase the height of the exhaust pipe? I'm not sure this is going to be a winnable one for...

Look at the underside of the fuel cap... you will see a little butterfly valve. This can be set to OPEN or CLOSED (if you are moving equipment over terrain, etc).

And yes, most modern power supplies built into products are autoswitchable units (meaning they are universal voltage input, 50/60hz)... so they are gonna run no matter what your MEP throws down the pipe. I routinely see grid power dip to mid 50s for short durations all the time (see it on our...
