Tinstar
Aug 15, 2016Explorer
I made it home fine. The pick-up tube in the diesel tank is not far enough down in there. The generator dies at about 2/3 full tank of diesel. I fueled up just outside the campground, cranked up the genset and let it run about 10 minutes before turning on the air. I drove all the way home without a hiccup.
I did switch my refrigerator over to the inverter before I left the campground. I left it on invert until I got home then switched the fridge plug back to the regular a/c outlet. Thanks Doug for your suggestion and comments.
All and all, we had a great maiden voyage. Problem one, is to find out why the fridge burner is not lighting. Hopefully it's just dirty or something else minor. The other thing is to see about lowering the genset pick-up tube into the diesel tank. I should not have to stop after only using 1/3 tank diesel (2/3 full).
Thanks to everyone for your comments and help.
