I’m in. Thank you!

I run 6ga thwn 120/240 have gone 133% no problem. Save yourself some money and use 6

Good advice on the load and frequency When my 803A is running our house it is typically at 75% and sometimes will use 100% for a small time. My hertz does drop a bit under load, so I may too take it up to 61% unloaded. Sounds like reasonable advice although none of my household appliances...

Hope everything is going well. I used 6AWG THWN in conduit. Here's my thread from when I did it if it will help you: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163250-Building-the-quot-Glockfan-quot-generator-pad-with-the-boys/page2 Also removed metal bar connecting N and G, and NO grounding...

Greetings friends. Been awhile since my generator install. Everything still working great. I am trying to implement the next phase of my independence by incorporating a grid tie solar panel system with batteries 48V system. Part of this in the interface of an generator auto start which is this...

Generator on the Pad! After 4 months. Well after four months I finally got someone hired to bring a backhoe and help me move the generator to the pad. After fixing the fuel leak issue and various other delays. Got the conduit dug in and connected to the manual transfer switch. Removed a...

That's exactly what I did I just cemented them in long and then let the level dictate what to cut off. I was really anal about using the level...

I'm considering it. Right now I'm just glad to have the install done after several months.

Thanks to Glockfan for the inspiration to build a generator pad in close proximity to my transfer switch. My boys wanted to help so we made it a group project. I've never really built anything like this before so I mainly just tried to take accurate measurements and keep everything level. The...

Well, I'm not running cables from Gen to house, just to the box (~10ft). On the backside of the pole holding the transfer switch is a breaker box and 200Amp service to the house. With such a short run to the transfer switch, the 6AWG should be fine. I love overkill as much as anyone but I can...

OK Gen is purring like a kitten so far. Two questions for our resident MEP-803a experts (remember "ex" is a has-been, and "spurt" is a drip under pressure). 1. The fuel return lines are done. What do you recommend for these other four rubber fuel lines... type of hose, what's behind that metal...

How to access fuel return line in the tank So now that I'm into replacing these fuel return lines, some of which are only around 2" in length, the final leg leaves the engine and goes down and around the frame disappearing into the fuel tank. Once in the tank does it attach to anything? can it...

Well let me introduce you to a broken one... I'll go find a few of these just in case... Murphys law, I'm the only person in the world who has broken a tee aua

Are you sure they were stolen and not just mis-appropriated. Besides in the military isn't possession 9/10 of the law:mrgreen:

Will this fitting work with the fuel lines? http://tinyurl.com/z8kgogl It shows 4mm-5mm barbs inside flow diameter of 3mm?

I have finally received my braided fuel line. I have a question about the T connectors. I have read that occasionally they can break off but are relatively easy to source replacements, possibly irrigation connectors. Does anyone have the specifics regarding size and type of these T connectors...

Got video of fuel return line leaking Ding, Ding, Ding... Daybreak got it.[thumbzup] I thought for sure it was a gasket. I already ordered the 3.5mm braided line. If you ever wanted to see the fuel return actually weeping diesel fuel while running here it is. https://youtu.be/cABU43qdpUY

LOL. I'm on the west side near Redd and Reseler. Go back and forth between Ft. Bliss and Holloman AFB (Alamogordo, NM). I'm going to fire it up again to see if seepage is coming from the top of the engine or out the sides. I'm hoping someone here will recognize right away. I've already located...

Finally got my two batteries and got it started. It fired right up very little smoke smooth running, however once it was running for 5 minutes or so I have what appears to be a fuel leak. I am not sure whether this is a head gasket issue or fuel return line weeping issue as has been documented...
