Most radiator shops repair gas tanks. I am sure the generator tank is repairable by a decent shop.

This thread had some info on generic o-rings to use. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?104765-SP101489-Gasket-for-fuel-strainer-on-MEP-002-amp-003-generators-no-longer-available&highlight=square+o-rings I can't see the need for spin-on filters unless your originals are missing. Spin...

Just lift the lever and wiggle it out. That is only a storage location for the drum adaptor. You then screw the tube(s) into the bottom of that adaptor and insert it into a drum or jerry can and connect the hose from the adaptor to the aux fuel pump. Here is a picture of what the drum/jerry can...

You certainly want the smallest genset that will do the job. Fuel is the problem. For me during an outage I really do not care about the cost. It is a short term expense. However the issue is locating or having a supply. October 2011 I lost power for 7 days. I have a gasoline portable genny...

The epoxy tank lining is to coat the inside of the fuel tank. You would remove the tank and follow the instructions from the kit. You will thoroughly clean the tank, etch it and then apply the epoxy. You pour it in cap off all the holes and slosh it around. and pour out the excess then let it...

Maybe you can sell the boards with a parts list and assembly instructions. This of course would be cheaper and you could sell many more quickly. I for one would buy a board with a component list.

I would use the fuel tank repair kit. I did it on my Jaguar 5 years ago. So far so good. A friend did his Triumph TR3 10 years ago still looks like new.

If you hunt the internet you may find original printed copies. Sometimes they show up on eBay. Or you could just take the .pdf to Kinkos, Staples Etc. and have them print and bind you a copy. Printing and binding is not cheap but probably the same as buying an original. Also you could have them...

For the lazy ones of us Kill-a-Watt makes a wireless setup. Has a claimed 300 ft range. P4220 is the sensor and P4225 is the display. A quick goole shows the pair at under $100. You can add up to 8 sensors to the display.

If you want a project buy from govliquidation.com. It is a gamble somewhat. I got lucky and my two run and work. Just really cleaned the fuel system changed the oil and filter. Then they fired right up. One needed a fuel pump and a throttle cable. The other needs a frequency gauge but it is my...

I am always one who gets a hobby and becomes obsessed. I read everything, buy all the tools/equipment an have box after box delivered. Drives my wife nuts. But when I am done with a hobby I sell everything to fund the next obsession. Bafore the internet I subscribed to tons of magazines and...

If you plan to use the Aeroquip fittings this place has them. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/aq491.php?clickkey=4474 I have also seen them offered on ebay now and then.

I have considered buying the mandrel. I usually buy the tools to do a job. I have one unit and a friend has one. Then I can always sell it.

Yes I know the hose can be replaced on the original fittings. In the summer I will likely do this.

I plan to replace all the hose on mine. The fittings are aircraft fittings. The hose is an aircraft hose. Not cheap like $7-8/ft. Occasionally on certain sites some 2-3 foot pieces show up cheaper than buying a cut piece.
