Because the other colors would clash of course. Lol

We were actually talking about 6 elements of various voltages ant wattages to test up to about 20000watts in a 35 gallon propane tank with a radiator and small circulation pump and fan. Could serve purpose of load bank and emergency hot water if needed. Yes with a PRV.

Craig and I were discussing load shed earlier. His controllers are capable. Some programming and a 24vdc control powered contactor. Probably a two pole 25-30amp contacts. I think it should be fast enough. Our control system offshore has multiple layers of load shedding capabilities, should be...

Thanks to everyone for a very good discussion on wet stacking, very informative and much appreciated. Only thing missing is Guyfang's input on the subject. Love the stories.

Well my philosophy from now on is to simply have a little heater or some other extra load when supplying load to whatever that doesn't keep load up in proper load range for the gen set I am using. Seems to be simplest solution, especially when running a RV who's load is only 30% when A/C...

Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure if it was more of just a risk of muffler/exhaust fire or if engine damage was plausible. I had seen pics of one at auction a while back that had slobbered around manifold gasket until whole side of motor was covered in gunk and the area around flapper was...

Another question. How long duration of a run before it becomes a problem? If it takes a while to become a problem, then you could manage by really loading up periodically to clean up? If it happens quickly then just adding load to get to that sweet spot of 60% would be simplest solution.

You would have to have really big charger to put enough load on gen would be problem.

We had same discussion about adding a heater out at unit to add load to to keep temperatures up, was just exploring options. I had not thought about exhaust system adding to problem, but definitely makes sense. I posted because I figured if the thought had occurred to me then someone else had...

A few fellow SS members and I were talking about generator sizing, which ended up in discussion about wet stacking by not keeping enough load on gen to keep exhaust valve hot enough to keep sludge from building up. My question for the group is would it be feasible or even make a difference if...
