I admit to being lazy and not dumping fuel and monitoring the fuel stabilizer balances correctly, I do run the generator at least once a month. During the summer is when I use it to run the A/C when traveling only. The only other time I use the genny is to run my air compressor in remote locations.
I have fought "sour fuel" issues for the last 2 years and I am done. I have decided to get a smaller, lighter, propane unit that can be pulled out and used remotely from the camper when needed, and pulled out for weight reduction and additional storage when I do not need it. I do not want to just adapt my current 5500 to propane, if I am going to do this I am going to lighten my rig and adapt the fuel tank and pump to diesel for use on the job sites.
I am going to fabricate a new exhaust and intake air port on my existing Cyclone front garage area, I will tee into the existing propane line, or give it a dedicated line if it starves the heater during the winter. I will re-wire it into my electrical system as 30 amp service only as it only runs 1 A/C unit.
I was wondering if anybody else has done this, and are there any issues I am missing.
Thanks
Erik
