No grounding. All components of the shed have positive contact between them. Jerry

Thanks Mike. No cell reception or AM reception in the shed. I'll check out the remaining items. Jerry

Greg, Casters are a must whatever your storage/housing arrangement. You need to be able to access the entire unit regardless of light conditions. Jerry

Greg, You got it right. One step at a time. Jerry

SCSG-G4, (Mike) Thanks, I hadn't thought of the outside feed and small hole in the cage. Guess the same for exhaust pipes. Will have to rethink that based on sun spot predictions. I guess foil will solve the exhaust pipes. Do you really mean to say that emp will go into concrete, then...

Sounds like you are focused. Jerry

Cool to build. Besides, I needed another shed. Might as well use materials already on hand and get some additional benefits from it. I'm not quaking in my Army boots but am prepared. Jerry

By golly, I hope you have at least 500 gallons of diesel stored and preserved to get through a 2-3 week period at the rate of usage you describe. If you can afford it and have foolproof resupply, live the good life. If shtf, I would think air conditioning would be your least concern. Low load...

My generators and the shed are not separately grounded. Shed has obvious metal contact with the surface of the concrete, generators are on HD stainless casters with rubber tires. Jerry

Perhaps Patracy. But both units have physical disconnects at the house panel and in the shed. There is a house power quad outlet box and 2 fluorescent fixtures in there on house power but I think, at the worst, they would just be burned up rather than affect the generators since they are not...

Turn it to the right and voltage should increase, whether running 120 or 240 volts. If no response, check to ensure it is wired and screws tight. Jerry

TM suggests disconnecting the negative battery cable if to be left more than 2 weeks, I believe. Jerry

Yes it is not difficult. Only requires playing with fittings until the answer drops in your lap.

Pull the hose up that is hanging below your frame. It should have a connector on the end that attaches. Connecting the two is not important if not being transported or dropped via parachute. Jerry

That bolts to your frame to secure the hose from your oil drain valve. Jerry

Digital is routine to you. Before you were born there was analog and mechanical (direct drive) (where i grew up). These units were built before digital existed in common use. Analog was state of the art and was thought to be cool. Golly, I feel old. Jerry :sad::sad:

Next project? Don't you have a spare engine or two? Log splitter? Jerry

Lucky, I love mine also. They are awesome when carrying a steady load, then suddenly taking on a heavy start load like a well pump or microwave. My gasser nearly dies and the MEP barely registers a hiccup. Well done! Jerry [thumbzup][thumbzup]

Fuel line adapters for aux feed Here are some pics of my remote fuel line setup. I had 50' new air hose of decent quality, so I used it. Could have gotten by with a 25' piece, easily. Cap on aux pump is replaced by female compressed air quick disconnect. Fuel hose has a female quick...

You would likely need to beef up the dc wiring for that distance. Jerry
