Very similar boat... newer wall hung propane furnace with propane Superstor hot water tank, propane range with overhead hood, 4 year old Jotul wood stove (no blower though). Fuel efficieny is paramount in a bad situation, so we are tracking close there. I have a Tier 2 MEP-002a here that I need...
Appears my oven setup will use about 3800w per unit, when the broiler is on high... so I was pulling about 5kw in the bake setting between the two. I think the gauge was pretty close to reality, as the only other high draw was probably the range hood. Everything else is LED bulbs and overhead...
It is, by my gauge shows this when the unit is off. When I first got it in, the gauge was not stuck like that. I think there is probably just some crap in the lines. We'll see.
Oh, and no worries about the load. I think my needs are actually going to call for a 5kw unit (I turned everything on in my house, including double wall oven, hi flow hood over range, etc... and only got the 803a to like 65% load).
I will check them out. The hoses looked to be in good shape, with no dry rot starting. On my other 803a (2010 w/ 9 hrs) I think the thermostat either has some debris in it, or its been fouled. Its stuck at 190* or so. I haven't flushed that one yet (came from a base with all fluids). Thats the...
Oh, and are there any special funnels you folks use to fill these things? I assume a flex neck is the best, but I thought there might be something rigid available for this.
Flushed twice yesterday, and the oil obviously didn't coat everything, as the water was rusty colored. Oh well, not too bad considering.
I will probably flush two more times, then do the coolant. This genset is still on my trailer (easier to move around this way), but its at a slight angle...
This is an official form (DD1397) for 'Processing and Deprocessing Record for Shipment, Storage, and Issue of Vehicles and Spare Engines'. As part of this procedure call out, they also show releasing belt tensions, sealing engine openings, removing batteries, the callout for fuel tank...
"Warning: Cooling System Drained and Flushed with Oil. Open drain cocks and flush/hot water (180* or more). Close Drain cocks. Fill system to proper level with coolant prior to operating engine". On the reverse of this DD1397 it says that the fuel tanks were processed with PE-10 (elsewhere on...
Have a low hours 97 803A that was put in storage back in 02. In reading through the documents, they flushed the cooling system with oil as part of their procedure. It calls out that they sealed every opening (and warn to remove cover from air filter as part of getting it operational again), and...
