Your last generator Maintenance Run

[3930dave]

I don't get people not paying attention to basic portable generators......but I guess I'll give human behaviour marks for consistency...... I would have thought proper maintenance on a MW system would be an easy sell.... often too darn many bean counters at the top.....

48 - do you have a link for that little pump, or a Brand/Model you can share ? Looks interesting.....

Must be hard to find Ethanol free in California... I have come up short unless I want to order it in quarts or gallons.

"Psstttt - Hey Buddy...... wanna by some E-Free, got the good stuff here !"

Dope is legal, EFree is outlawed...... Strange Daze indeed.......

The guys started poking around the program and said I had too many files and started deleting... I said no... stop... you can't do that!

They are the IT pros... I am not... just know how this program works and manages the building... nd it was also very expensive back in the day.

So the IT team starts deleting files and the program crashes... that was November and they have not been able to bring it back... even picked up the computer and no luck...

The IT solution now is a 30k upgrade... after all it was an old program?..

Legacy stand-alone engineering systems + avg. IT worker drone...... often ends in tears......

In a corp environment, sadly, Resistance is often Futile though....... any chance it was near year-end, and they had some budget to blow ?

I found it on Amazon. Nothing like it available locally.

I found a gas station in Redwood Valley a couple miles off US101. They use a hand pump out of 55 gal drums. The manager says they go through 2-6 drums a week depending on the season. About $7 per gal.

The only other source I know of is a big generator and landscaping equipment shop in Sacramento that sells it in sealed 5 gal cans for $80.

It seems to me that marinas should be a source but haven't done any research. The Redwood Valley place is right on my way from Sacto to the north coast so no reason to look further.

And someone was complaining about $30 pizza on new yrs, yet their own kind causes over $20 g as l gas.

Nothing budgeted. No more programming or holiday schedules. The holiday schedule programmed is 2019 so it looks like jumper wires on the roof

Some Chinese Factories have nets, not wires around the perimeter for the "Jumpers" lol.

holy crap. here its at the pump and about $0.60 more than unleaded regular.View attachment 635348

also today i got diesel....it was $2.92 per gallon......its going down, but not enough. i miss the days of $0.89 diesel

That's not bad, it's only $0.30 per gallon more expensive than the same octane with ethanol.
