LOL, yes y'all are a tough crowd. One of the reasons to keep the genny where it is instead of moving it 100 feet away from our and our neighbor's houses is that I could run a typical cord to the neighbor's house in an outage. That'll keep them happy then, and my wife will love the power too...

About 20 feet. Don't run it often, but my wife is real picky about the smell. I run it when the neighbors aren't home mostly. Once it warms up, the exhaust is clear and the smell is greatly reduced, but like I said, the wife has a picky nose.

Right now, it's about 20 feet away from our house. Probably about the same from the neighbor's. It doesn't run often, however we had 2+ days of power loss this winter. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm curious about the turbo suggestion. If I can't trap to reduce the smell, I guess...

Daybreak: Good questions, however I don't know the answers. One of the reasons I bought it was to learn more about diesel engines - I just haven't had the time to do that yet, so I'm just trying for a quick fix so I can run it without folks wanting to kill me.

I was toying with the idea of adding some kind of blower to the end of the exhaust to help propel it farther from the house. It would have to be pretty light weight though.

Hi, I've got my genny pretty close to the house, but since my and my neighbor's homes are 100+ year old, they aren't tight envelopes and the diesel exhaust smell gets into the house. This really pisses off my wife and so you know how that goes.. So, I'm wondering if there are any mods anyone...
