When I read about you putting it in your forward compartment, although yours isn't fueled, I wondered how many folks might be transporting generators with gas in them in compartments with electrical equipment. These fuel caps are vented and with the constant sloshing would likely vent considerable gas fumes inside the compartment. Some forward compartments like mine also house the inverter and fuse panel. One spark might result in quite a bad day!
Anyone else have any comments on a way to possibly seal these caps from venting when transporting? I've looked at the one on my ELM3000 and from the way it's constructed it looks hard to do.
My generator is fueled... but then there's no electrics other than a few wires passing thorugh my front compartment. I also store my Hondas and fuel cans in there.
I will likely do as my neighbor did and install a remote fuel tank, filling the generator mounted tank would be hard to do with the enclosure installed.
