OP Remember you don't have 240. You have 120/240 split phase. well... that sounds like we need a fuel test to confirm! I wonder if it would be evident with 50 amps on one leg and 10 on the other in 120/240. I don't really want to run the generator with that wide a load imbalance to find out...

Hi guys, to be clear, I don't know that the issue lies with them, there could be a MITM (man in the middle). Really with any website unless you click that locked / secure button at the top and review the security certificate and have a known reference for that certificate (you know what it...

Another AAR - I haven't had the cold temperatures to confirm, but I did another filter change on primary and the cartridge and they were in terrible shape. Lots of rusty water in big filter and the sediment in cartridge filter. Generator seems to run stronger, gave it a good 65 amp load per...

I sent you a pm on that. Would you consider to include a solar charge controller at this time too? Going back to your original post - you are looking for a solution when your grid power is not available, that you can run through night without starting generator, is that correct?

midnight has them in stock, but you need to buy their whole set up ...

Looks like you can order that inverter bundled from midnite with alot of cool stuff, you can also buy it a la cart from the website kurt mentioned https://www.altestore.com/store/inverters/off-grid-inverters/3000-to-7000-watts/magnum-energy-mspae-4448-4400-watt-48v-invertercharger-p8110/

what is it that sold you on that magnum one? and... what solar charge controller are you looking at , or are you only looking for UPS /battery backup solution to grid power?

On oil filter side of generator, on the wall facing from the main fuel filter. Unless you are going to install an arctic heater, then they conflict. By the crank , normal, off switch.

Yes, what do you make of his accent, is he canadian or what? I also like the idea of knowing how your battery is cycling, and being able to track the cells over time, and of course having a couple of extra cells on the bench to put into use if there is an issue.

There is another option worth considering too: New: $1,739 48V SOK Server Rack LiFePO4 Offgrid Solar Battery - YouTube

DIY 48V 320Ah Grade B LiFePO4 Battery Build: 16kWh

What would you think of assembling your own lip04 pack from individual cells c.b.?

Confirmed winter diesel. I hope changing the cartridge in metal bowl filter will be the ticket... still waiting for that filter, we are seeing major supply issues already with the trucker border mandate north of the border. This is napa supply chain that I use for all filters, as well as the...

Yes I have looked at that fan several times and thought why isn't that clutched...with half inch plywood plus several 2x8 cutt off pieces blocking the horizontal surface, there is enough wind that my wind block nearly floats. Yes, so using plywood and lumber and blocking the up wind air intake...

No, runs very well. I am just waiting for that bowl cartridge filter to change it and weather to go cold again to provide opportunity to test. And I guess I should be taking a fuel sample next time to put in freezer and verify. So aside from the commercial anti gel's referenced in above videos...

I just watched that recently and thought I would procure some 2 stroke oil for adding lubriscosity to my main bulk tank. I recently added a clear filter bowl with water absorbing filter on main bulk tank (which I fill set out of) so I can run fuel with a visual reference.

Yes temp gauge is working now - and yes the set will start fine without the arctic heater.

nice oil pressure on that set - I typically only see 45-50 psi on my gauges with rotella 15w40

AAR followup: Temperature -25 to -30 Celsius, base temp, plus strong wind (generator outside in wind) Arctic heater warms unit up to 180F no problem. Turn arctic heater off, and start generator. After 10 minutes running generator cooling down to 155 to 165F. Freq starts to warble. Drops...

I will have to get some of those.
