The whole top cover is not water proof. The rad intake has holes, the corners of the top are just bent over and of you get any sideways rain it will run down the wall until it finds a spot to get in. The housing is aluminium so i wouldnt worry to much about it.

Not sure on brand. A friend used it on a 3 wheeler fuel tank that had many pin holes. Little bondo and paint and the thing looked show room clean. But these tanks without holes/rust are close to $300

They make gas tank leak coat/stopper stuff that works prety good. So even if they leak its not a total loss.

That your problem you called a reputable company. They dont need to deal with one time customers. Call a off brand or just go down the list on google. The fuel all comes off the same fuel rack around here. When i order home heating oil i easily call 10 delivery places..but this is the...

All 5 of the generators i have gone through were any where from 2hr to 390hrs. The 2hr one looked and ran like new. The higher hr ones showed age.

Good for you on having it properly checked. Those engine parts are not going to cost more than a few hundred bucks and could have saved you buying a new engine..and at that point its prob worth just finding a new set and haveing a parts set.

If you treat the fuel 5yrs is not a long time. You would want to keep it in the shade and rain off the barrel. Heat prob isnt your worst enemy its large and fast temp change. This builds condensation inside a partly used drum and water is needed for algee. If i didnt alreaty have a home...

DPF filters are the worst thing to ever happen to the diesel owner. There the best thing to happen to the diesel mechanic. Also dosnt matter what filters you add it will still smell. Exhaust pipe above the eve is the only cheap and fool proof way.

It sounds like you have the volt switch behind the pannel set right and the ground bar should be disconnected for hooking to your house. As far as the fine tuneing volt switch/gauge u want that set to 240v. The rest of the hookups the electrician should do.

Yes your banking on every other part of the cooling systsm lasting a "lifetime" too.

$10gal vs $53gal. Wow i wouldnt think the price would be that much. You can do many rad flushes at that price dif. Wouldnt the fan eating the rad be more of a bearing issue?

I have been a diesel mechanic for about 10 yrs. In this time i hardly ever find a real need to use the drain on the bottom of filters. Some dont have it and some its impossible to get to.

How are they going to watch this if the power is out? Have you gone through the process in person with them?

The freeze temp is only 5* lower than typical coolant. So whats the real benifit if the systsm isnt designed for it?

I also live in NY and had the same mouse mess your talking about. What i did before the winter is hardware cloth inside the intake grates and zip tied them in place. Looks real clean and no extra screw holes. The bottom hole is right in the center and i siliconed a piece of the perferated...

Yes i kind of figured that your useing another ground rod. Still run it through the plug. Doing it this way theres less chance to forget to plug it in...and you have a spare plug to put on the house side if it ever gets screwed up. Im all for keeping things the same

Seasonl storage for these is prety much just turn the key off. Of corse batterys always like some kind of charge and fuel should be treated. Dont over think storage its not a carburated gas engine.

Is there a reason why you guy wouldnt want to run the ground through the plug your installing. This should be done for grounding the set with your house anyway.

I have the original. It sucks. I use a set of water pump pliers.

I was out camping in that storm. Wasnt as bad a hour south. We hit under the open hatch of my yukon for about 5min then back out. It was quite windy.
