    Well said, Sir!
    Fuel, someone I know has 3000 gallons of propane in 4 separate tanks at one location and 2000 gallons in 4 tanks at a second location.
    All have wet legs and he has 5 spare wet leg hoses and 3 spare valves.
    Interesting point is at the 3000 gallon location propane cost .$0.56 per gallon when he had them filled. I'd say he effectively has a 3 or 400% profit.

    All of what you said in your post is dead on.

    ps: thanks for all you do and Merry Christmas to everyone here.

      Several hours accumulated later, along with the two fuel pumps rebuilt, one injector cleaned and one injector replaced- I got the damn thing running today! Thank God!!

      What a great thing to hear.

      The throttle setting had to be changed a bit, guessing a slight difference in the fuel pump? We had locked down the throttle to a certain spot where the hertz produced matched up with the 60 hertz needed by the inverter. Will have to check it via the meter on the inverter.

      Going to change the oil and see about a teeny tiny antifreeze leak.

      Now also have a ton of spare parts, could rebuild the fuel system twice over now, which is great.

      A younger relative that was briefly a mechanic "helped" with the exhaust system a while back. I think one of the connectors he put on upside down.. Had half as much exhaust inside the building as I saw outside the building. So will have to work on that also.
