Re: Propane generator won’t start in the morning
House batteries fully charged, >13v when connected to shore or charging from chassis. Stay and play added after the problem started to try and eliminate the supply as a problem. All other propane appliances are fine but the system comes from Winnebago with a dedicated regulator for the Genny so that's not a diffinative test. Replaced both regulators anyway.834Views0likes0CommentsRe: Propane generator won’t start in the morning
I should have mentioned I tried with/without engine running and while connecting to shore power and it turns over fine. I can smell propane out the exhaust so fuel is getting to it. I also installed a stay/play to hook up a full BBQ into the system. All no dice.839Views0likes3CommentsPropane generator won’t start in the morning
Onan 3600LP By 10am or noon it will be fine, but not first thing in the morning. Winter or summer, muggy or dry. I can run it the evening before or not for weeks. The only pattern seems to be the time of day. I’ve had it serviced by an Onan dealer and it works fine on their fuel supply. I’ve replaced the regulator. Can’t think of what else to look at.885Views0likes11CommentsRe: Propane tank replacement options?

If it’s not like half rusted through, give it a Rustoleum rebuild and find a place that isn’t so nosy to get it filled. JMO It’s rusted enough that an industry professional won’t recertify it, that implies to me it’s not just cosmetic. I’m giving him the curiosity of knowing his job.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Propane tank replacement options?

Are you POSITIVE, that Canada requires ASME certification and not just DOT portable tanks which DO require recertification? Doug I’m positive that some fill stations won’t fill my tank. That’s what matters in the long run. Canadian regulations are hard to pin down but I talked to a local propane recertifier and he said he probably wouldn’t pass mine due to the rust so I know I’m on borrowed time with it. Clean it up and paint it, they do not want to see rust. ASME tanks do not need to be certified in Canada. My motorhome 1986, tank is clean and painted. Yeah that’s probably he cheapest and easiest option.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Propane tank replacement options?
