    Advantage or Disavantage of re-wired 400hz generator to 60hz?

    are you handy with a wrench? do you have time? then you can probably fix the engine. but on the other hand so can he,but 6 months seems a long time. the price would need to be cheap or i would look elsewhere.

    Gulf Coast Folks May Want To Order Fuel

    i don't know how your state handles motor fuel tax,but where i live i can buy un dyed fuel and apply for a tax credit and get my tax money back at end of year tax time. as long as i can prove it was for off road use. sometimes this is to my advantage because the big truck stops sell cheaper fuel...

    i have had excellent results with the NATO gerry cans. the fuel in them keeps and keeps without additive. they don't leak and are easy to fill and pour out of. you can even get an adapter so you can use them as an aux fuel tank.
