    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    30-40%, this are 1 year old dual stage compressors (not inverter drive). I dont know how to check if its in low or high (nor did I care at the time) but they ran and was very surprised they did. My single 2.5 ton R22 system draws what these 3 drew combined. Disclaimer: this is a special case...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    Dont use IBCs for anything other than an emergency or transfer. Storage of diesel in a translucent material tends to have adverse effects (growing of algae, etc..). Cant comment on heating oil / kerosene though. I use exclusively aluminum tanks now. Im up to about 300 gallons capacity plus...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    Since nopics here are some photos of the different setups at each of the houses. Backside of the 831 has much more clearance so there wasnt an airflow issue.

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    Yes, I live in St Pete, but long story short when something like this happens I spring into action, especially if family is involved (brother and his fiance, her family, my dad/grandparents are all up here in panama city area). Im on my 3rd trip up here now. I was here for close to a week...

    Stole the word cute right out of my mouth. I do think its pretty cool, also curious on what it is. I know now I really want a small trailer for my 831 now. Stop it with the ideas for projects! One of these days im going to do a full fuel report on varying loads of all 3 generators. I already...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    A little jealous of the 1040 being of technical background so I would love to have one, but the other side of me wants to grab some of the 00x series. I am in the market for a 005 or 006 though. (more to park at my company than my house) As for being on the fence with the 831, even if it is...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    And thats exactly what I did. When my brother was reporting the low fuel failure I had him run battle short while babysitting the gen in case something actually happened to it so he could dry his clothes. My return trip I brought an entire 802a fuel tank and fuel level module just in case, but...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    Its almost been 2 weeks and I am curious as to who is running MEPs up there in the Panhandle. I have family up there and after it hit and hearing from family I loaded up 3 gens (831, 802, 803 one of each) and made my way up there along with many other supplies. I have family in Chipley who got...
