I had a failure like that early in my career that ended up consuming a bunch of time and manpower. It made a big impression on me. "How do you know what you know?", "Measure twice, cut once", and all that. All the best, 2PbFeet

How about taking a USB drive with the PDF on it to your favorite copy shop/printer and have them print it on 3 hole punch paper? All the best, 2PbFeet

Wow, me neither. There's no way you could get me to do that. What's the line about pilots? There are bold pilots, and there are old pilots, but no old bold pilots. Of course some guys are gifted, and Chuck Yaeger who kept flying until most the very end. All the best, 2PbFeet

👍👍 I think that it takes a fair bit of equipment and tinkering to get a good anodizing job done at home. I'm not saying it isn't doable, just that it takes some understanding of the chemistry (liquid and solid), and of electronics, and some iterative tinkering because slight changes in the...

I think it takes a very special person to fold and pack chutes well. You know that somebody's life is on the line when it gets used. I have to admit reading that there is requires paperwork involved in a non-functional chute incident is on the one hand so DOD, and on the other, of course. Still...

Interesting furniture...😆

I agree that it is low pressure, but in my limited experience diesel fuel is a master of coming through very slight mismatches. If it were me, I would think about an adapter hose with -AN on one end, and SAE/JIC on the other. There are screw on hose ends, and hydraulic crimpers are not anywhere...

It is subtle, but they are different; https://www.mfcp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MFCP/Blogs/2021/comparison-jic-an-parker-triple-fitting.png?length=800&name=comparison-jic-an-parker-triple-fitting.png All the best, 2PbFeet

@Ray70 That's a great story. People here with propane generators found that one out the hard way during the last major freeze. The propane generators kicked on, they kept living the high life, and two to three days later, no power, no heat, no lights. While power came on for many of them after a...

@Ray70 That's one talented son! I really like the whole setup, and I'm glad that it is working so well for you. That was a heck of a bomb cyclone, and you seem to have been in the direct hit target area. I hope that your fuel reserves hold up until the power is restored. All the best, 2PbFeet

My recollection is that the 831 is that it does have limits on each leg. If this is your planned use case, you might look into putting the generator in 120V mode, and adding an autotransformer to generate the two legs from that as that would enable any distribution of load across the two legs...

@Guyfang I keep being amazed at the knowledge you have and can find. Is that really a White Hercules manual in german? ("Schaubild 1"?) All the best, 2PbFeet

That sounds like a good thought. If it were me, I'd bring the tank along just to be able to try the bushings... All the best, 2Pbfeet
