The key is getting the correct filter. I guess most plastic fuel tanks use the same opening thread/hole size. Thanks for sharing the link to the Arnold filter (I just went to HD and one size was too big, the other too small, but they sell the Arnold one online). Which O-ring did you use? HD or did you need to go to MacMaster? I will hook mine up to a Suzuki 6hp, it has an external tank fitting, so I don't have to install the switches like you. The Suzuki connector uses 5/16" connectors, should also fit to the Arnold filter. The respective primer bulb on Amazon also sells a 5/16" version. Greetings Sam

I keep my guardian 150000 watt portable in my closet, used it a couple of times for hurricanes. I just plug it into the transfer case, throw a pop up tent around it and call it a day. I haven't had a problem with it ever. The pop up tent just keeps the elements and the sun off my unit, all four sides are open to fresh air. Never thought of such an elaborate setup even though I live in Hurrricane Alley. Liked your build but I would be worried one of those sensors don't trip and the machine just burns itself up from the heat. I've seen my portable generator suspended from craines in my area at job sites, so I'm pretty sure she can put up with my occasional use😂. I also have two backups, 5000 predators, and a Honda 2200I. The Honda is for when I want to go to sleep and turn the lights outside off and not let anyone know I have a generator.

Hi taylorcampbell985! Static air temps inside the shed are normally 6 to 7 degrees above the outside air temp when the sun is out. It's been a while so I honestly don't remember temps inside the shed when running but what I can tell you is that prior to relocating the muffler to the out side of the shed the heat would reach 40C / 104F triggering the overheat sensor that I installed which would shut down the generator to keep it from overheating. After relocating the muffler to the outside of the shed I've had no more issues concerning the temperature. Hope this info helps. 😊👍

And all the basics compression ect. It seems the timing is retarded. Back fires through intake. Any suggestions?
@FFHTV22 күн бұрын
For me it was just a process of elimination. In the video description I noted that I was finally dealing with a no-start scenario. After some troubleshooting I suspected that maybe the problem could be the ignition control module. In my specific case it was not. A faulty ignition module can affect ignition timing, resulting in an engine that misfires and runs rough. The engine may also run well at low speed, but won't accelerate well. Considering everything you have mentioned so far that you have checked and validated and still feel that the timing may be retarded, I would replace the ignition control module just to be on the safe side have that covered.

Nice job! Just an FYI. The reason the tank frosts is because it's not quite enough big enough. Lp tank will freeze up if there isn't enough (size) to allow the liquid to turn into a gas. Great job on the setup. Thinking of the same setup. Saving video :) 2 20# tank would do better or 2 30# tanks. Those refills are only 3/4 full to 80%. More like 3 gallons each.

@jaysonstebbins2539Ай бұрын
@FFHTV you can always pick up a 2 stage regulator with auto changeover like you see on an rv. If you leave both tanks open then when the generator is needing a little extra it can pull from the other tank. The autochangeover regulator are made to sense low pressure. I'm an rv tech and find alot of people trying to leave 1 tank off and not realizing what the other tank does with both are connected in the wintertime trying to run a 40,000 btu furnace. That little 20# will freeze up and eventually burn something out. If your running the generator under a light load then it's ok. But if your putting a decent to heavy load with a 20# tank then you'll get a freeze up. I bet the manufacturer requires a minimum of a 30# tank but recommends a 100# for heavier loads. 2 30# tanks together ok a splitter probably wouldn't even freeze up until about 30°F with a heavy load. Temperature is a big factor on this as well. The hotter the better for propane sense propane boils at -44°F :) up north we add butane to lower this number. 40# tanks on a splitter would be rocking for you. And in the long run you would spend less in filling them because you can fill at tractor supply and hardware stores much cheaper than a exchange and plus use them for numerous things like grilling. :)
@pipeliner345Ай бұрын
I built the exact same set up last year almost. However i did not have the high heat cut off. My two fans, wall and floor quit, the circuit was not tripped, so not sure what happened there. The box overheated therfore so did the generator, duro max 13k, brand new first use. I used the exact shed, melted it severely but still usable. I'm most not sure of relying on fans after this very expensive disaster.
@FFHTVАй бұрын
Hi pipeliner345! I can only speculate that the heat inside your enclosure was high enough to cause your fans to fail first while your generator continued to run and then eventually shut down due to this high heat. A overheat sensor would have definitely saved your generator in this case until you could solve the heat issue. Also having a way to read the temperature inside the shed while the generator is running is a game changer to help you determine how to go about solving these heat issues. I use a wireless thermometer, linked in the video description, to keep tabs on the temperature inside my shed. Having an overheat sensor is priority number 1, a must in my opinion, if you are going to run a air cooled generator inside any enclosure. I also truly believe that placing the generators muffler outside of the enclosure should be a requirement with these plastc shed setups. Prior to this when my generator was in its original configuration with its muffler inside the shed I would always trip the overheat sensor within 15 to 20 minutes of the generator running which made the whole setup absolutely useless. Once I routed my muffler to the outside, everything changed for the best. Also having a large enough shed to help with air circulation must always be considered. My first shed that I purchased was just big enough to contain my generator and felt it would absolutely not help with air circulation so I returned it and purchased the next size up which is the one shown in the video and am very happy with the size and amount of air circulation available to help with moving the heat that is created inside the enclosure to the outside with the aid of the fans. I hope this info helps. 😊👍
