I'd go ahead and get some copper crush washers for the injectors. They don't cost much at all and if you're using it there is a decent chance you won't be able to buy them. They are One Time use goodies.
How did you get your hands on That!??
Diesel has more BTUs per gallon than gas, so, under the same load, it had Otta run longer . EMP proof is great. Is the refrigerator, heater and AC gonna be operable if someone pops one? The tractor should be okay.
I Wonder about bitcoin.. Hmmm..
Congratulations, Dave, that is a great thing.
I probably would have just pickled the gas unit and put it under a metal window screen cover and covered it up.
YaKnow, if a coupla injectors can head for a reasonable price, mehh, spare parts for The power supply is maybe a good idea.

Thanks,I'll have to look at that.
I should shield the one I have. The house is a fair Faraday cage. A cell phone is useless in here. Sitting on a window sill it will ring.

The trailer belongs to a neighbor friend.  It was sitting in his driveway with broken wiring, weathered and cracked tires, a foot of leaves piled up on the bed.   I was in the need to use a trailer like that about 6 months ago - so I made a deal with him that I would clean it up and get it working if I could borrow it.....he said he would pay for the parts.  I washed it, put on new tires, put on new wiring and lights, replaced one wheel bearing set and cleaned/greased the other side.  It worked out well for both of us and he is using his trailer again - and so am I!  I spent a couple of days working on it and now I can borrow it whenever I want to!

You might consider a tractor PTO driven generator if you want to run your whole house - or a small generator that would burn less fuel.  Running the fridge, a couple of freezers and some lights and a TV takes only about 3,000 watts, a 5,000 watt can run our wood burner and get us heat.....if you want to run your house as normal you need 10,000 watts or more (electric water heater and an electric furnace require a lot of power).

If you have a friend that works at an airport "Jet A" fuel is a good lamp oil and it burns cleaner than kerosene.  

your right JOG !

I wonder if that what it will take to "Make America Great Again"  

If we had to go back to living like we did in 1925 , some of us would be OK after a few years of it , but I think there would be a lot of wild stuff in the middle years !  

Do small airports sell to folks with yellow 5 gallon cans ?    I do have an old neighbor who hangs out at the local airport.

I've got a 6000 watt modified sine wave inverter , and a 1000 pure wave inverter .
Do ya'll think a regular truck battery would work with a solar 200-300 watt panel ?
I do have the "jump-start" box to get the truck started again if it get's too low.
My truck does a lot of sitting on the car port going no where most of the time  ...  unless it's Really Cold or Raining .

Hay Dave , my 25HP tractor can work hard all day long on 5 gallons of diesel so a PTO generator that can operate on 540RPM (or less) would be a good thing .
