    Tank Blanketing, for long term storage on big tanks?

    I used to make wine in my basement. Instead of bottling it I decided to try and store it in 5 gallon stainless steel coke kegs....ONCE. I filled the air gap with N2 and then pushed the wine out of the keg with N2. The wine went bad in a very few short weeks. I could not get ALL of the air...

    IBC Tote Setup for generator fuel supply?

    23 days of run time on one tank of fuel: do you have 3 week outages? Treated diesel gets old and you need to change it out every couple years. I just changed out my 50 gallon tank a few weeks ago and I still have some to burn off in my truck. LITD has a good point: cover the tank if you go...

    New to me MEP-803a

    Check data plates on front of generator. Mine was manufactured in 10/03. Reset tag - upper right - show reset date of 3/12. If reset tag has been ripped off and your machine is sitting on a trailer check CARC paint date...it's usually the same date as the generator reset.

    KennyO posted about meter calibration here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-meter-calibration.171920/ These meters are nowhere near as accurate as your multi-meter, but will give you an idea of what the machine is doing once they are dialed in. The 1500 watt heaters sound like mine...

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    I agree with Dav5: you need to calibrate your Percent Rated Current Meter with your multi-meter. I just visited my 802 that I have stored on some rural property I own. Each of the orange space heaters pulls 12.5 amps. My % Rated Current Meter was showing 45%. I have this machine set to...

    With freezing rain forecast for central NC, time for a generator test

    I observed evidence of wet stacking my 802 in 65 hours of run time at around 20% load with my camper. I'm delivering 52 amps -- 120 volts single phase -- to a small camper. After 65 hours I noticed a wet fuel stain on the top of the unit next to exhaust stack. My solution....and it works...

    MEP803A Sound Levels

    I'm over powered too, with my 803. Outages have been short but I have an electric clothes dryer and a space heater I can run to get me up around 65%. And I share power with my neighbors. Operating quarterly test runs at 80%-100% with an old electric stove - or other 'load bank' - will keep...

    Isuzu powered Drash 5 pin connectors

    I like the price of these connectors for my MEP-803A. However, these are 3 phase .... meaning the spades turn in toward center of connector versus the similar single phase 50 amp connectors (think CEP spider box) with spades that turn outward. The ones I received looked like they had been...
