If you leave that box sideways, you have a potential of the electricity spilling out onto the ground. All your connections should be uphill from the destination so as to allow the correct flow of electricity to said destination. :)
Good video! I think you will have a moisture problem inside of the generator enclosure if you don't put a vapor barrier on the ground. With little to no air movement in the enclosure, the moisture will condense on the metal surfaces potentially causing corrosion. Ideally, lay down some black Visqueen and pour a slab with Quickrete. If you don't want to pour concrete, then lay down the Visqueen and spread limestone on top of it. The limestone isn't as good as concrete, but having the vapor barrier below it will help.
@@SamSung-jn5fi Looks to be direct injected. I'd say you could run oil blends in it... but you'd need to be careful with it and I'd want to make sure it's under a good load when running any oil in it. Cool running would likely coke up the injectors pretty quick.
@NotSoGrandGarage if I did, I would run diesel then through auxiliary tank, switch to Black diesel. Typical stuff. I hear the 802a are a bit touchy concerning loads, though
@@SamSung-jn5fi I'd say all of the mechanical diesel generators are touchy with load. Reason being, the engines are sized for the maximum power output of the generator so when they are ran at 25% or 50% load for extended periods, they aren't working hard enough to burn the fuel clean. That's when things tend to start going sideways.
I am looking for about your product place lace me a message. When I post this, I am looking for more information on this on your bill with the generator had to get it all hooked up and got it running and where did you get your generator at like to know more details about it and all of the project you did with it and what does it charge how'd everything go I hope everything is safe there and well with you hope I see more videos on this
I found the generator on marketplace non running for $500. I got it home and spent $50 on parts to get it going. I've probably got $1k in it now, getting it in place and wiring it all up. I did everything myself, including the electrical, so that's saved a bundle.
@NotSoGrandGarage I go out and start mine once a month now to keep oil circulated and make sure everything is good, I used to mainly use it in the colder months because my solar wouldn't bring enough, but I installed more solar panels and im now at 15k of solar and a wind turbine, but anyways while I was out yesterday I remembered to look at the auto Gen start I have, it's a deep sea auto Gen start, they offer several types, starting at $80 and go up, depending on what you want, thought I would let you know. I also installed a exhaust fan on the wall to let air in to keep the generator cool, it has a thermostat that set so that when generator gets certain temp, it opens up, exhaust is piped threw wall and up into the air with flappers to keep rain out.

Great job buddy! Gotta stay prepared! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
This day and age... you most definitely do. Appreciate you bud.

I hate it when electricity spills... considering the price of that stuff, hate to waste any.
Good video!

Looks like I'll change the plan up a bit. Won't be any more difficult to pour a small pad. Thanks for the heads up.
I wonder if the mep 802a would handle black diesel, the 002 n 003 are older and seem more robust.
That I don't know. The 002 and 003 are both IDI and air cooled .. very simple and fairly robust units. What engine does the 802 use?
@@NotSoGrandGarage Onan DN2M
Liquid cooled

That setup will last you, your kids and grandkids, pretty much same setup I built. I installed ags, auto gen start works great,
That's the goal! Thanks for watching. I'll look into the auto start setup
