It may have been pressure washed coming back from overseas.
As @vrzff points out, fuel and air are now the prime candidates, and as the injector was working well before, I would be inclined to suspect that the muffler is clogged or obstructed. I would give your engine a few hours to settle the...
A local employer had a reasonable size cogen plant (40MW) with a set of switch gear to connect or disconnect from the grid.
Unfortunately, they neglected to rodent proof the switch gear and one fine morning one squirrel met another one in the switch gear and plasma ensued blowing up the switch...
I think that that spring is a "sheep from goats" / "old f%%ts vs everyone else" item. At one point, "back in the day", all precision coil driven meters were shipped with a shunt short to keep the needle movement during shipping from frying the coils, so "everyone" knew to remove the shunt...
FWIW: I've switched to renewable diesel (HVO, not biodiesel). Purportedly per the manufacturer, it has better storage characteristics, but not 5-10 years good.

I've never tried dipping for terminals. I'd try Amazon for U1 or U2 terminal covers, or whatever your battery size is.
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Dog-415115-1-Battery-Terminal/dp/B00A3I23NQ

Nice!
I would comment that I personally am not a big fan of uninsulated battery terminals close to metal surfaces, but that's me based on prior experiences.

Do you mean the 10-32 clip in cage nuts?
If so, Bolt Depot, McMaster-Carr or eBay or Fastenal, or most any other bolt and nut supplier. They are a common nut for computer racks, so that maybe another source.

Henkel, makers of Locktite, have adhesives for all sorts of things that get esoteric pretty quickly. Fun to browse if you like that sort of thing. So do 3M and Corning/Dow.
I didn't know about the 660 either until I had a key fail in a keyway that then wallowed out the keyway on a shaft that...
@grywitt If it were me, I would lean towards a glue (thread locker /locktite), rather than a screw, so if it ever were to need adjustment, it would be posssible. If the surface is worn or pitted from the slipping Locktite makes a metal laden locker that might help (Locktite 660). The 660 on the...
Waste vegetable oil or waste engine oil? I wouldn't put the latter in an engine that I cared about. The ash content will come back to bite the engine (combustion chamber and injectors). There are some military documents, and there's this from the EPA...
It might depend a bit on your budget, but Victron and EG4 both make inverters and chargers that are popular with the off grid folks that I know. Personally, I would also go the inverter route rather than trying to couple to a turbine shaft, for balance reasons if nothing else. The price on kW...
