I have one of those gen-sets...but it's still in my motorcoach. Lol... things run smooth like a watch and just sips fuel... Keep in mind where you set it, the RV unit is designed to be serviced from the bottom, the engine oil filter, fuel filter and electric fuel transfer pump is all accessed...

I've worked in shops with & without a pit... much easier to lay on your back and work than standing and looking up to work. I absolutely hated the pit, it wasn't wide enough, sometimes too wide, not deep enough and sometimes to deep... overall a pita..... plus today you can get wheel lifts...

Nice video.... I've got the same unit, now at about 60 hours, only used as house back up....I keep either Seafoam or stabil in it try to remember to run it for 15/30 minutes every few months... It's a little pricey, but fuel economy is great, very very quiet, smooth and clean power... You can...

I could really use it, I had a box of SK that I inherited from my grandfather that was lost in a shop fire a few years ago......

Thats the same one I'm looking at. I'm subscribed, install pics along with fuel usage, please, ha-ha Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Not tying to jack thread but I'm thinking about the same generator, which model/fuel type you get? ...is it the air cooled engine? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I know Honda says 5 gallons fuel at full load = 6 hours, and 1/4 load = 18 hours but That's not what my Honda eu7000 FI used during last week's hurricane, ran for 24 hours non stop on 7 gallons, running 3 refrigerator, 1 freezer, tv, direct TV, several lights and fans fans.....thing didn't bump...

The heater acts as a coolant bypass for the thermostat until the engine warms up enough to open the thermostat. .....

?..is this the random motor oil thread? What engine oil should I use in a 1972 Spacely space rocket?....I just picked one up off CL, guy name George Jeston sold it to me....

Not sure I get that logic........perhaps you can explain? And whats so less dangerous?

Mine has a wall mounted digital thermostat inside the house that I can use to change the temp at random.....in winter I keep it @ 120, summer 115 ....The usage manual that came with mine stated it uses 30% more fuel from 115 to 135....plus I the extra cost of cold water needed to get the temp...

On mine 135 was max temp....Try trun it down to 120....or if you can stand it, 115..... If in fact your pipes are smaller and limiting flow it will help..... I'll bet yor not showering with 135 degree water....your mixing cold with it.... Try to get into habit to only turn hot water on w/o...

What water temp is it set at?.....have you tried to lower temp setting? These units have a flow valve that senses water temp, once water get overheated, it's cut off/back...... If your flow is too low, it will shut down. More often with higher then needed water temp.....

Mines LP gas fired.....love it! Has a wall mounted thermostat inside, I keep set at 110, take a shower w/o turning any cold water to mix it to temp..... With a tank heater I was paying to heat water only to mix it with cold so I could use it? Dishwasher has a add heat function so I keep it set...

Had a gas powered compressor mounted inside a small utility trailer that was used to do on site fleet stuff...like the kind a tire repair road guy would have .some novice put a pipe plug in the pop off exhaust "because it was leaking" next time it was started, it blew the end out of tank, went...
