    Howdy, I am lucky to have a Southern States SuperGold® premium diesel fuel here at 50 cetane. 500 gallon Off-road farm tank just filled the day before Harvey hit. :) 100% pure diesel, Red tint off-road, and green on-road. All still ULSD 15ppm

    Surge brakes

    Howdy, That is what the break-away cable does. The break-away cable yanks up the pin and the brakes lock up. The same method is used with electric brakes. It has a break-away cable attached which pulls a pin and the onboard battery applies the brakes. (how often is someone checking and...

    MEPs and Hurricane Irma

    Howdy, It's called readiness and preparedness. Simply having a generator does not work. You need to ensure you can rely on it when you need it. Having the essential to run a long time with a supply of diesel and oil and filters. Having the right connection to you house etc... Not try to make...

    803a hours

    Howdy, To properly bring a Optima back properly would to charge each separately. OK, You have the Noco G7200. Take a meter and see what voltage each battery is at. If it is really low, use the special mode of supply 13.6v for a while to get it up some, and then switch to standard 12v AGM...

    803a hours

    Howdy, I would suggest you remove each battery and fully charge them separately with a AGM battery charger. The optima batteries do come back to life.

    803a hours

    Howdy, If that is the unit you bought. You done did good :goodjob: I can say this, from looking over the unit, somebody wanted to move that unit onward. From the looks of the outside, and inside, and overall condition, me thinks someone had a old hour meter and threw it on that unit. At that...

    MEPs and Hurricane Irma

    Howdy, 1st things first. You bought a generator at auction not knowing its working function. Some are not runners and takes a lot to get them up to speed. Some are and have minor issues. If you want a turn key generator, pay up for a unit which is ready to run. Just because you buy a...

    Mep-803 Aux fuel tank

    Howdy, Something seems suspect. OK, some of the first things you need to do. Verify the aux fuel system works. Verify the aux fuel pump pumps fuel. Verify the aux fuel pump kicks on when low, and kicks off when full (80% full) If you do not verify these things, a few bad things can happen. You...

    Really stupid question about picking stuff up from auctions

    Howdy, Of course it matters on what is purchased. If you are looking at generators, a lot will have "will tailgate load". You show up in a pickup truck and they load it in the back. Sometimes you have all the legal writing saying nothing there. I know I can comment about Pennsylvania locations...

    Issues with SF-97

    Howdy, OK, I am in the same boat. I thought I would just wait it out. I only have 1 outstanding from 5/31, so I am not crazy thinking mine was getting old when others are still way before that.

    Any quality diesel fuel system cleaners?

    Howdy, That is a variable. IMHO I empty the tank and swab it out as best as possible. Put some new clean diesel in, shake the unit around, and drain that out. Fill it with fresh diesel with a additive like the ones said above.

    Howdy, 24v charging thru slave port talk about 1 unit and moving it among other items. Since that will be your only unit. A Deltran Water Resistant Power Tender Plus 24V would probably be your best bet. Other members have, and use that unit. (Waterproof and 24v) or you could use a separate...
