    All I could find: https://www.justrite.com/aeroventtm-drum-vent-with-filter-and-one-extra-replacement-filter-3-4-bung-opening.html Its not really a dessicating filter though... its more for chemical absorption (and its not the same threading). I use these on my tanks (doesn't help you here...

    Well seeing as your fuel source is in the building, you could always fab up a mount on your wall to hang one of these: https://www.grainger.com/product/35ML57?&cm_sp=-_-Customers_Also_Viewed-_-AZIDPRR_1714-9435-3&cm_vc=AZIDPRR_1714-9435-3&req=Customers_Also_Viewed Then you could plumb to it...

    Thats a nice way to do it. My personal preference would be to do a hybrid of what you did, but have the aux fuel house on the house on some sort of spool (so it could be back drained when not in use, versus having fuel sitting in the line until next refill). But good job nonetheless.

    OK so my military supplier reached out and BW is playing games. The obviously have no open orders with the government for this part, so its all custom tooled to make new ones. Min quantity is 2 (not a big deal), but they are looking at even more money than you have been quoted already...

    Depends if you are slowly adding load, or dumping your mother in laws hot tub AND deep fryer onto the circuit at the same time... but regardless these machines should take it and will only vary upon initial balancing.

    Its the twisting motion on the cable knob which allows for fine rpm tuning, basically... to tweak the rpms due to load, to hit 60hz.

    The center button allows the RPMs to change. It drops them down to 1200 or so (but the reality of the machine in my opinion, and others... is that you never want to slow this machine down). If you open the door on the cable side, you can trace the line right back to the governor control... that...

    Oof... that Dorman cable looks better all the time, huh? Still waiting on my guy to get me a price.

    You should use some of this same cloth material to cover up the drain holes in the underside of the machine (like under the battery trays).

    If you are bored, the manufacturer of the part (According to the NSN is B.W. ELLIOTT MANUFACTURING CO., LLC). The manufacturer part number is 347L-032-2. I show BW has a dealer in Ohio... wouldn't hurt to call them to see if they can source it for you? Ohio Pipe Valves & Fittings4000 Trent...

    Lovely, even though their website says available for sale. I have sent an email off to an associate of mine to see if they can source. Will advise.

    I am in the midst of building a load bank that will go up to 13.5kw for this very reason.. the 803A currently under my watch has the thermostat pegged at 180 and unmoving (but it did move when I first got the machine). My hookup on my house is only 30A, so I cant even draw enough to make this...

    No I believe that small data plate is just that... for inventory purposes.
