My 803 ran 53 hours with nary a fault and consumed right at 1/2 GPH. We were on the front end of power restoration this time. :) There are still people in our county without power.

Not mine. Don't know seller or unit but thought some of you might be interested. https://tallahassee.craigslist.org/tls/d/10kw-military-diesel-generator/6728519307.html

This LINK looks like the same pump I have. The strainer and inlet hose looks a little different. Note: The nozzle included is NOT an automatic shutoff nozzle. Not a problem if you pay attention to what you are doing. If you will be using a 55 gallon drum you might also be interested in my...

This unit I have is still working fine at a year and a half. I don't have a model number but I've seen the same unit on ebay and Amazon.

They use a 7 psi cap.

UL listings aside I do have a couple of spaces left in my panel which is located in the corner of my garage. I could always add a range outlet and plug my load bank in for additional heat if I needed it. ;)

When I search ebay I always check the USA only box, the buy it now box, then sort by price to find the lowest cost. My elements cost $71.80 which comes out to $17.95 each shipped, My homemade load bank is nice but if I were doing it over I would probably consider a couple of 240V garage heaters.

Glad you came through the storm okay. Let me know if you want any help with the return lines. I used Gates fuel line that was in stock at O'Rilley Auto Parts. The 1/8" (3.2mm) is part number 27000 and the 1/4" is 27002. Both were $1.39 per foot. It was a snug fit and seems like it should...

Much easier to get the 1/8" Gates fuel line from O'Reilly's. That is what I use on mine.

I was thinking you could use the Goldenrod on the vent side instead of or also on the fuel side. Nothing beats a good additive regimen. I use Killum biocide and Stanadyne lubricity formula. Coming up on cold weather I throw in some anti gel and cetane booster.

I just used an air compressor filter on mine. My pickup tube leaves 5 gallons in the bottom of the drum so I suck that out with a small pump and check for water after I use the rest of the drum. So far I haven't found any. The simplest way if you are concerned about condensation is to just buy...

Just got power back on. Only 52 hours run time after a hurricane is a record for us. The last two storms we were out from 4 to 7 days. Still a lot of folks in our area to go. Last year they had all but a few hundred when ours was restored so it's good to be on the front end for a change.

I haven't done ANYTHING compared to you folks that had to rebuild. I still think people are better off buying units with a couple thousand hours on them. Seems I've read about more major problems on the low hour units.

When I started with Rainey Cawthon they said their minimum was 60 gallons. I had emptied my drums and a couple of cans so I got 109 gallons this morning. You don't save much if any over pump price but it beats toting cans. Mine was about $3.13 per gallon after sales tax was added. I have some AG...

Hour 43 = 21 gallons. At one point yesterday I had it loaded to 52 amps on L1 and 54 on L2. I had used most of my reserve fuel in the tractors so fuel delivery is on the way.

Haven't heard any updates on I10. Saw where a train turned over in Panama City .

We have some limbs down and one hanging on the power lines but no house damage. Our daughter's in-laws have a tree through their roof. Can you say dead short!

You bet! Gen has been running 16 hours straight and consuumed less than 9 gallons. Temp steady at 178, oil pressure at 22, no leaks, and charge indicator on zero. Fuel gauge not moving far off full. May need to check that out but i check everything before it could possibly get empty and top...

Went out to look over my 803 after 4 hours running and topped up the tank. It only used a gallon and a half. Wasn't running the AC so that might account for it. I have left the well on but it probably doesn't cycle very often till we shower. I have done some baking and turned on the AC since...

Yeah, Might be evac time. We got lucky when Kate hit as a 3. Had 3 pines go down and 25 right across the fence. None hit the house. Neighbors had their front porch ripped off and relocated in the back field. I stayed in town for that one and had to help cut three sections of hwy 90 open to get...
