That tank is seam welded further in where you can see the ripples, not at the edge. I'm sure it's not leaking nor is an issue. Many automotive gas tanks are seam welded the same way. Where did you get this deal? I too live in Calif and can only buy a CARB approved generator. For $238, I can afford that to play with. Can't find one less than $299 though and they are not Calif approved. 2 updates to my post. I have just learned that the company that I bought this gen from are no longer selling/shipping to California. I hope they didn't get beat up too badly by the CARB cops. Quite frankly, I was so excited to see the price/shipping combo that I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was not a CARB/compliant model. I also took the gen down to Champion in person yesterday in Santa Fe Springs. They are going to replace the tank and the ignition switch. I have to say, these guys are the most professional personable group of guys I have ever met. The whole operation is A++!!! Very seldom do you come across a company that dedicated to customer service and good product. No affiliation at all, Eric286Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Hello all, I've been reading this forum for around a year now and I have to thank the professor and all the other contributors on how fantastic this thread is! I just pulled the trigger on a champion 46515 and I have to tell you its prettier in person and all the pics don't do it justice lol. I paid 239 online from some advice and rebates I saw here. I just had 2 quick questions before I fire it up. When I un-packaged it and inspected I noticed 2 things. First, the ignition switch seems a bit flimsy and keeps popping out of the socket. Second, one corner mount of the tank appears to be bent a bit. I don't believe it was shipping or handling related because there are not paint chips and I really don't think its a big deal but i posted a pic anyways. I don't want to return and I was just wondering if there was a more durable ignition switch I could put in place or is the normal one good enough (assuming i replace this one). Thanks for all the great work! eric268Views0likes0Comments
