11:50 More importantly, if you arrive at a gas station while there is a tanker off-loading fuel, LEAVE and do not get any gas there. That tanker offload is churning up all the fuel, water and sediment sitting at the bottom of the underground tank and there is then an increased possibility that fuel could then be pumped into your vehicle. Just leave and come back much later or use another gas station.

The Predator 5000 is Recalled and out of stock. If anyone bought one, check out serial number and take it back if a bad unit. Many complaints that they shut off under substantial, but within specs, loads. Until they get this one correct, the Champion 4650 w/ dual fuel and remote start is the ticket. Just as quiet.

I don't understand why anyone would run this dual fuel generator on gasoline instead of propane. Propane can be stored indefinitely. You also have a choice of tank size for propane from really small to very very large. With gasoline, your best option is a 5 gallon can that you have to dump into the fuel tank every time the generator needs fuel versus just swapping hoses with propane. Added bonus, the propane burns cleaner than gasoline so there's less wear and tear on the engine.
@GrenergyTriFuel10 ай бұрын
Good question, I've been getting a lot of push back from the other crowds about propane and I believe its simply due to poor product experiences with propane with DIY kits and they assume all propone related items are an issue as well. Currently I'm the only one trying to build a "run's right out of the box" tri-fuel kit that is drill free, cut free, and modification free.

Why buy a battery tender and a jump start when all one would have to do is use the pull rope to start if and when the battery may be too low in voltage to start it. Once running, the generator will recharge the low battery. Just asking. And when it comes to the spark plug, why throw away the spark plug that come with the generator, when the generator runs fine with the plug it came with.

More importantly, the risk of freezing and thus damaging the battery is greater if it is discharged (lead acid). A 100% fully charged lead-acid battery will freeze at around minus 50-75 degrees F. A fully discharged battery can freeze at around +32 degrees F, or when water freezes. If the battery comes out easy enough it may be best to remove and at least keep in the garage where you can monitor and keep it charged from time to time.

Nice Video, I let the gas go bad in mine and its a pain to clean out the carb. Its almost impossible to even get off the motor because of a bolt hidden behind the airbox... I got it cleaned out and running great, but noticed that the carb never stops filling with gas even in the "off/storage" setting. So either my petcock is shot or this is a weird design with the plundger on the bottom. I drained all fuel from it to be safe as I dont want gas sitting in the float. When the bowl off the gas would only stop flowing once the float was raised which obviously means it has to have fuel in it. The drain valve just flows continuously... Are you selling the extension piece? if so Im interested!!!

Hey Adam, sounds like the fuel shut off valve has failed. The rubber seal inside that valve must have broke or the ethanol content in the fuel has dissolved it.

Foolish question: would one leave the add-on aluminum drain/fill attachments installed always or only when needed? Do the OEM caps fit onto the new parts? What engines and generators doestge Pred use? Are those components something unique to Harbor Freight?
@GrenergyTriFuel7 ай бұрын
I don't understand what is "add-on aluminum drain/fill attachments" and what "OEM caps" are you referring to? If your unsure of the names of these parts, I can't really help answer those questions. The engines in all Chinese made generators are China copy Honda engines and it is not unique to Harbor Freight. Same engine used in Champion, Westinghouse, Duromax, Generac, Wen, etc.. they all come from the same two factories in China. Only Honda and Yamaha makes their own engine.

Nice video but I havve to disagree about stabil. The whole idea and formula of stabil is to extend the fuel life in the tank from a few months to up to and even more than 2 years. As a professional outboard mechanic we have seen stabil keep fule useable for literally years as long as water is not present to rust things. Just give real info please. thx
@GrenergyTriFuel6 ай бұрын
I appreciate your feedback but I also have to disagree with you about stable. There’s no way around preserving gasoline with how the EPA pushes ethanol mixture along with other additives to reduce emissions. Your experience does not reflect every single person on earth. 1.) For example, you’re forgetting how bad gasoline is in California, or perhaps you’ve never been to California and worked on vehicles there. Just leaving gasoline in the container for 2-3 weeks and you’ll start to see it separate or turn yellow. No amount of stable is going to keep California gas fresh. You can google “California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG)” (CaRFG contains special additives and lower levels of certain pollutants like sulfur, benzene, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, this formulation can result in lower energy content, lower fuel efficiency, and potentially increased wear and tear on vehicles.) 2.) You’ve also mentioned being an outboard mechanic. The majority of boat owner’s fill gasoline with recreational fuel which does not contain ethanol content or extra additives. So of course you are not going to run into bad gas when servicing any sort of watercraft vehicles. 3.) gasoline with stable gas already been highly discussed and tested by a credible source. Please refer to the link here --> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9yDkqdlxNKqZYk.htmlsi=KuMLYMGo6oZU5yF1 Everything I post is real info to the best of my knowledge during the 8+ years I’ve had being an experienced ASE certified automotive technician.

I just stumbled upon this video….. listen. Don’t explain yourself. Don’t justify anything. You’re an adult. You honestly think I care what people think about me? I don’t care.

I actually now enjoy it. Because of that, KZfaq is organically ranking my videos. I've noticed in my analytics, the more engagement and interactions I get from videos/comment section, my click through rate goes way up and so does my video impressions. So why do I read and respond to all comments? Because these sh*t talking idiots bring in more views that's why. This increases overall traffic to my website resulting in more sales of my Tri-fuel kit. Secondly, I stand behind my videos as much as I stand behind the products I've built. I run a business and I'm not going to stay quiet and let clowns chase out good customers. I don't put up with any BS and my return customers don't appreciate it either. Previously I let people roam free on the comment section and I've ignored most of it, until misinformation and unwanted opinions about LP and NG flooded in. That's when I had a problem. Who else responds to all comments in KZfaq on a Friday night at 11:30pm? It's no different on Saturday's and Sunday's. I hustle hard and none of my competitors on KZfaq reach out to their audience the same way I do. I run a good business, I worked hard for it. And I'm going to say whatever I want to say, I've earned it.

Turtles on a log hahahahaha. That statement made me stay for the full video. Haters are always going to hate. Edit (add on) just finished and sounds like you know what you’re talking about just not a “guy” that owns 1 generator for his RV. Solid tips and I will follow a few of them if not most. Also I don’t understand with people hate using gas on a generator design to run on gas???? If he wants to use gas is his choice, if he wants to run it in pixie dust, it’s his choice.
@GrenergyTriFuel6 ай бұрын
The turtles on the log statement triggered a few folks in the comment section. I guess there's more narcissists in the world than I thought there would be. A lot of the advise I've given is to be credited from 8+ years of experience in the automotive field. Worked with a ton of master techs with years of knowledge, I respected these guys a lot. As for running gasoline, there's nothing wrong with it unless folks fail to do basic maintenance, its all the same seeing how folks abuse their vehicles and not do any upkeep. In my years working at the dealership, you'll be amazed on what you see come in and wonder how it all still stays together going 70 down the highway. haha

Thanks for your support. Sometimes I think folks who go out of their own way to be negative, suffer some sort of psychological problem or have narcissistic traits. It's not normal to be out in public and talk to people they way they do online in the commit section. To me that's less competition in the real world, no one is going to be doing business with an ass hat. I've built the business from help of a mentor I've respected. It's your character that carries you where ever you go, successful people pick up on that.

I run a retail business, not a professional video production company. I don’t care to be perfect, because I’m not perfect which explains why I suck at doing videos. My time is spent in the workshop, not hours and hours doing retakes and video edits. Matter of fact I hate doing videos, I only do it because my customers ask me to. I get customer calls every other day asking for me to do videos, asking million questions about everything, and if I’m not detailed I get calls and emails from folks wanting a better explanation. You made assumptions without factoring in other people who are NOT mechanically inclined as you are. I believe you assume you’re perfect, because in this perfect world videos are made exactly how YOU want it. In your original post, you came off sounding extremely selfish and rude. If that’s how you start off talking to people, then don’t be surprised if YOU get criticized.
