Not really sure theres a stead fast number. Personaly i run it on my house every time we change the clocks and try to change the oil once a year...this time it got away from me with a oil filter from 2017. You could change all the filters every XX months/years but this dosnt see alot of use...

I didnt really run mine long enough to check for oil consumption, only 30min isnt really enough. Mostly i was looking for wet stacking and any external leaks. Are you useing the gauge for the percent? There not the most accurate things. I always use a camp on amp meter when load testing...

Ran a 21amp load on it this afternoon. Had some white smoke in the begning but cleared up after about 10min of running. Could be that it just needed to be ran. I have only put 30hrs on it in 2 years.

The thing thats odd is i have ran this generator with the same load (my house) for 22hrs just last year with no drop in oil. Im going to load it in the next few days.

Checked the oil again after a day of sitting. Still at the half mark. When these things wet stack do they pull oil from the crank case? I have ran this unit for longer with no oil loss. Nothing is leaking becids that return line that i fixed.

Its been a few years...and we just had a power outage last night. An odd wind storm came through. 5min of wind and a little drizzle about 6:30 and we lost power until i woke up this morning at 5am. The set now has 248hrs. I took a peak this morning and saw the last return line that i didnt...

Yes the house load shows 1.7ish amps then the element comes on. I believe the 1.7a is prob the tumbler motor in the dryer. For what its worth i have overloaded this set to the point that the engine almost shut off, durring load testing. I have never had it trip the over load. Its about 1-2A...

I picked up this horizontal diesel tank out of a aircraft generator this week. Its stainless and every bit of 3/16 thick. This thing is heavy! Easily 90lbs empty. By my measurements its 29gal. Im debating making a skid that this would fit under the 802a. I could also making the fuel tank...

Got some time this weekend to finish the ultimate well nut install. The lower one required some metal removal around the hole so it could fit without taking the tank out. The upper one i made a flat sided washer to go around the tank mount. I also took this video this morning of my 802...

I decided to get the 802 in the garage to diag a fuel leak, change the oil, coolant and change the fuel filter that the hulk put on. In the canister filter i found some fuel crud that built up most likely from sitting, nothing really to worry about. My fuel leak only showed when i had fuel...

It does look like small wire in thr video but its 10awg and rated for 30a on a 30a breaker. I might eventualy run the wire in a conduit thats why its not soow now.

As you may know we change the clocks tomorrow. This is when i do my full generator test on my 802a. I took this short video of my set running my house. It was running two chest freezers, one normal fridge and my electric dryer. I believe this is just under 6kw. My dryer element kicks on and...
