Will the relay kick out if it's just overloading one or two legs? I wasn't sure with the unbalanced load. That and considering I put an almost 10kw load on my 802 once upon a time, and instead of tripping it bogged down the entire unit until it read 100% output (at something like 45hz) I'm not...

If he's using it to power a panel originally wired to 120/240, then it would be a whole lot of work to separate out everything to operate on the 3 legs of 120/208.

If it held oil, there shouldn't be any concern for it holding fuel. Diesel is just another type of oil for the most part. Adding an epoxy lining is mostly if the tank has existing damage or if you are going to put something inside of it that is corrosive or oxidizing. Diesel is neither of...

The manual does say max of 52 amps for 120/208 operation. So that gives you 2 legs of 52 amps 120V each, or a total of about 12,500 watts. You don't want to go over that as the generator head was not designed for an unbalanced load and you can cause major damage to it. You'd want to use 50...

As long as the fluid in it was clean before (not waste oil) you don't even need to rinse them (provided you aren't running it through an engine with a diesel particulate filter) the oil will mix into the diesel and run through an engine with no issues. As reset2 said, add some diesel biocide...

Another question, what type / how much load was it under during your few hours of run time? Just "loaded/unloaded" can be open to a lot of interpretation.

Brackets on wheels aren't for helicopter sling, there are frame points on the back of the truck for that. (helicopters lift from a central point, or forward and rear points on a Chinook, and there is nothing that would keep the cables spread so as to not crush the HMMWV fenders if it were to be...

With a smart charger the recommended method (in PS magazine) is to hook a second, good battery in parallel with the completely discharged one and place the pair on the charger for a while (I forget exactly how long). The good battery has enough voltage to keep the charger working, and the...

Only one that had an issue in my unit was an MEP-804 15kw unit. It managed to crack the radiator. We also had a paralleling box between a pair of 802's that came back from reset not working properly and would drop power output (running from a single generator) every 8-12 hours. I lived next...

Yes, but wired in series to either 36V or 48V depending on model. Deep cycle batteries, not designed for the high amperage draw of cranking.

There IS a chance you damaged something trying to use jumper cables. The cables don't have anywhere near enough load carrying capacity for this. The military uses a slave cable to jump vehicles, which has cable the same size as the starter cable and battery cables in the HMMWV in order to...

White smoke indicates that some fuel is getting to the cylinders. The fact that it started an ran in California where it's likely quite a bit warmer than where you are at only indicates that they got it started. You never know if they used starting fluid (which is bad for these) to start it or...

https://gear-report.com/help-hmmwv-wont-start-humvee-glow-plug-start-system-maintenance/ is a good place to start.

If you are set up as a 4 door, you can do it out the back of the battery box. If keeping as a 2 door, there is a little space directly above the NATO slave plug, or if you want it over by the driver's side depending on what you have installed right now you can do it in place of the deep water...

My thoughts where the same as Chainbreaker, take something to strap down to the front of the trailer to give you some additional tongue weight if you are concerned about it. I'm not sure if I'd use sandbags if this is a flatbed trailer but if they are in good enough shape why not?

The trailer was built using a lot of off the shelf civilian components, rather than anything specifically military in nature. That probably included not having them make a special stamp for the brake fluid type on the cap.

As fr as I know, DOT 5 is the military standard to use in every vehicle/trailer that takes brake fluid, primarily due to moisture absorption by DOT 3/4.

A lot of these end up leaking fuel inside the engine area. Most common cause is leaking fuel lines. Not end of the world, diesel isn't explosive so mot much of a hazard during testing, but will make a mess if not taken care of.
