I got this for the air intake side, and this for the vent fan, which will plug into the generator when it's running. So, I need to work on the engine exhaust ducting. I ordered a 10 circuit transfer switch, which will be here next week.
If you use ROX 0.8 carbon, about 1 cup. I replace my GAC about once a month, you could do it more frequently, but after a month it's probably so coated with bacteria, that it has little to no adsorption left.
I plan to keep the generator in the garage until such time as I need to use it, then roll it into the shed for operation. There is a pad lock on the shed, so it wouldn't be too easy for someone to take it. I have four 5 gallon gas cans I keep for emergencies. I keep sta-bil in the gas, and use...
I thought about that, but I have a homeowners association I have to deal with, and know I would have a problem with that. I may still have a problem with this, but I think I can make a case for it.
That's the way I planned to connect the gable fan. I remember seeing a type of thin (1")fiberglass panel that was coated with an aluminum flashing on one side, but I don't remember what is was, or where to find it.
I need to come up with an idea to vent the engine exhaust, maybe some kind of metal dryer vent flex pipe, along with a metal vent cap. I just need to come up with a means of connecting it to the generator muffler itself. This is turning into a real project. :wink:
I'm planning to install a gable fan on one side to exhaust the heat when it's running, and a gable vent on the other side. I hadn't thought about vibrations, so maybe I should block out the wheels, or use some bungee cords to hold it in place.
I just purchased a new portable generator, and need some opinions on what to use to house/run it in. I am considering a Suncast horizontal storage shed, modified with a louvered exhaust fan, and louvered air vents.
If you etched it with vinegar, that should have removed any attached organic matter, and some possible PO4. I would place it in a container with some freshly made SW, let it cure, and check for PO4.
I started using kalk(Mrs. Wages) in my ATO, when WC's alone were no longer enough to keep up with my demand. This was good for a while, but ultimately I had to start using a two part solution. I get the Calcium Chloride from BRS, and use A&H baking soda for my alk(I bake it in the oven for an...

I was looking at the same thing at Lowe's:
