I have a Generac GP5500 with the 390F engine - Portable Generator - Air Cooled
I have the kit (not yet installed) for Tri-Fuel but I intend to use Natural Gas exclusivly.
Owners manual says: Oil, every 100 Hrs. - Valves, every 100 Hrs.
Splash lubrication
Here's the scenario:
I would like to extend that - Assume full synthetic Amsoil of unknown name/type
Drill into block, 2 places, install oil supply and drain fittings (assume correctly done)
Mod: Small oil pump, filter, holding tank (unknown size, assume min. 1 gallon)
Questions, if anyone has the time or inclination:
What are the byproducts that I would need to be concerned with?
Fuel dilution?
Soot formation?
Other, unknown to me at this time - Still reading BITOG
Will the valves really go out of adjustment in 100 Hrs.?
Searches have proved unfruitful (before you ask) but I am probably asking the wrong questions since someone must have tried this wacky thing before.
