    Generator Carb Problems

    Yes, you are correct. I forgot to mention we bought it in Dec 2020, the house is a 2021 model, the cab & chassis is 2020. I can't recall how many hours are on it, but I think around 100.

    Generator Carb Problems

    The only place I have found ethanol free gas is in Texas at Buc-ee's & I think QT, but it's $1 more than regular 87 per gallon. It is 90 octane, tho. In a 60 gallon fuel tank that's +$60! Some of the stations in the hill country (in fact all of them) have 86 octane, which I have used at higher...

    Generator Carb Problems

    Yes, rubber hose, I could put an inline valve there, but I'm thinking closer to the filter would be better. I haven't looked myself, but I've seen YouTube videos showing how to access it.

    Generator Carb Problems

    Thanks, no shut off that I have found (yet) but it will run out if main gas tank is below 1/4, so I could do that or just drain it. Good advice, I wish the RV dealer mentioned that on the walk-through, instead of recommending putting peppermint oil around the fridge vent.... 🤨

    Generator Carb Problems

    Thanks for the advice, I see you're in CA, which gen shop would you consider the best? I'm in the Modesto area now, my RV dealer recommended Industrial Electric, but they never answer their phone or return calls. "Red Barn" in Salida was recommended by another rv dealer, the foreman there very...

    Generator Carb Problems

    We have a Cummins Onan QC 4000 generator on our RV that doesn't get a lot of use. It was last run in August, & has been inactive ever since (about 7 months). Now it won't start. Our RV dealer doesn't work on generators, they sub it out, & there's warranty questions, so the shop foreman tried to...

    Top Tier Stations Detergent Levels

    You may have hit on something. I have noticed less & less Top Tier stickers on pumps here in CA. I think Costco is the only one still displaying the stickers. ARCO is actually comparable to Costco in pricing, sometimes even cheaper. In fact the last Top Tier sticker I saw on an ARCO pump was in...

    Cut Open: 17 µm Purolator ONE vs 20 µm Fram Titanium

    I'd rather have the bypass in the base, which is where a lot of GM engines have them, so the oil doesn't run over the dirty side of the filter during bypass. Just my preference.

    Fram ultra old vs new efficiency?

    You know what one of the Fram chat people told me when I asked about metal wire backing? She brought up the exploded view of the filter we were talking about & circled the metal tube & said that was the metal wire backing......... This was a few years ago when all these changes were happening

    Fram ultra old vs new efficiency?

    Yes, I am connecting the holding capacity to the efficiency rating. You have posted the "hockey stick" graph many times, so it can be assumed that every filter follows this pattern. The "rating" is taking an average of the high & low points, just before the efficiency shoots up to 100% due to...

    The only picture that has the sticker is the first one. In the other pics in the description the sticker is missing. Ya it's a "stock photo", misleading.

    Bad Gas

    OK, so the bike didn't start, what is the catastrophic failure? The tech taking the head off, & finding nothing? So now you have to pay to put it back on? With a $200 gasket, of course. Try asking another shop what's going on, try a media outlet that helps consumers (e.g. 7 on your side). Shell...

    Filter cutters

    Well, I got my $19.89 cutter from Amazon (QHHR brand), it looks pretty good, there are holes to move the rollers closer for smaller filters, though 3" is probably as small as I'll need. The one problem is the threaded rod is bent. It binds through half of the rotation, the cutter wheel holder...
