Well, I've done it again... purchased a M1022 mobilizer for my tactical shelter. It's (hopefully!!) on its way from Oregon to Cleburne, Texas, where I will be working on it.
Wish me luck :)

I have a 2011 MEP-806B with 515 hours on it. It hadn't been started in a few months & it started surging on the first start. I shut it down & restarted the computer & that appeared to solve the problem on that first day.
I've been using it most afternoons when the wholesale electric rates go...

Search GP for "Tiernay" & it comes right up.

Actually, I wouldn't call my transaction "outside of the auction process."
I re-read my original post, which definitely made it sound like he is, but I should add the following info for clarity:
He contacted me because I saved a tank listing on a previous auction. He invited me to make an...
I started reading the TM & this really is a handy piece of kit. It has adapter assemblies at Both ends, so you can connect a group of tanks in series. It also has a swivel plate at both ends, which effectively becomes the "non-rotating" hub of the wheel, if it needs to be towed.
I found this photo online - this beastie (3,500 lbs, loaded) really Can be portable.
It definitely looks like a "don't try this at home" setup, but it's nice to know that it IS possible, if not entirely Advisable...
I've read the forum rules & I'm about 99.5% certain that I'm abiding by them, but please let me know if I'm not.
I received an email today from one of the auction houses that I've done business with, letting me know they have a "very large quantity" of these fuel drums for sale.

As others have mentioned, you can get 208 across two legs & most equipment will run on 208. Here is the spec plate from my home A/C compressor:
I spoke with an engineer with L3 (the folks who built this beastie) & he suggested I connect single phase loads to legs 1 & 3, as the voltage...

I'm just guessing here, but I would think that's an "instantaneous" reading. I may be wrong, but if they're only displaying two numbers on the meter, then the instantaneous reading (how much current has this branch Ever drawn) would be the most logical number to display.
Peak kWh
You might do some checking on your smart meter to see what it will tell you. Mine has an alternating display with total kWh and Peak kW:
So my house maxed out @ 18.44kW (Texas, 3 A/C systems + two in the RV = Oh Sh*t!!).

Yep, shutting the fuel off is the system's response to many faults.
