    Generators at GL ?

    All the way out there they need a darn good generator. I would set them up with a Northern Lights plant. They are very large in the Marine industry, parts should be no problem.

    Any quality diesel fuel system cleaners?

    My 831 and 802 only listed D1/2, JP8. Had to wiki that one myself. Never knew what any of the JP #s stood for. Neat history. Just had to go 100 hrs. Straight here in Cape Coral/Ft. Myers due to Irma. The neighbors sure were impressed! All shutting down at night to conserve fuel. While the "good...

    Never bought jet-a, but do take the go-fast boat to the airport and fill up with 100LL (low lead) gas.

    As Dr.Fang says, a broken hose with a siphon could be ugly if not dangerous. For those who are worried, anti-siphon valves are available and cheap. $15 They are designed to keep fuel from siphoning into a bilge due to a compromised line.

    Thank you. Yes, very hard to put a drain in a drum. I was lucky/ patient and got a 100 gal. Round aluminum semi tank with big cast brackets for a hundred bucks on Craigslist. Complete with $125 locking cap!

    Any good tank setup has to have a drain at the lowest point to drain water/sediment off. Which by the way was an added bonus to the ultimate well nut repair. The 802 only holds half as much water with the modification done.

    Any quality diesel fuel system cleaners?

    I use and recommend Biobor JF (jet fuel) and Biobor MD, together. Works well and can be found reasonably priced.

    Now your looking at a gummed up pump and filter. If your worried about line degradation, go with Teflon. Probably the price of a new pump - braided stainless with fittings.

    MEPs and Hurricane Irma

    Your 802 should handle the pure resistive load of the 4500w water heater with no problem.

    MEP-831A Inverter Cleaning

    A piece of brown scotch bright is what I use for a filter. Think anything finer might hurt the air flow.

    MEP-831A 120 Volt output Loading?

    You have to load balance in 110/220 split phase mode. Your loads are 220/50Hz, And should be always pretty well-balanced.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    That would be good because metal halide is what you want.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Metal halide bulbs use a different ballast compared to a high pressure sodium. I have never seen one that does both.

    831a - 24 volt vs 12 volt start solutions

    Charging flat-ass dead batteries is very hard on the regulator/rectifier not to mention the stator.
