I just got the genny to fire up!
I was working out of town for the last few days. Before I left, I ordered the on-demand regulator.
By the time I got back into town, it had arrived.
The demand regulator is interesting. It only allows fuel to flow is there is a vacuum on the output end. I could blow into the intake end of it, and no air would go through. If I sucked on the outtake end, the valve inside allows air to flow.
In this way, you can open up the valve on the propane tank, fuel will flow to the demand regulator and stop right there, UNLESS the generator is running.
This means I SHOULD be able to have everything mounted on the back of the car, open up the propane, drive a while, and THEN start the generator (assuming I can figure out that remote start.)
I should still add that 12V solenoid shut-off, but it's not needed for the moment.
Today, I went to the hardware store to get hose barb adapters to connect the regulator to the propane tank and the generator.
Once I had it all hooked up, I cranked the starter. It fired right up!
Now I did NOT have a load on the generator, and the exhaust was kinda smokey, but it DID START!
Next up, move it outside so I don't gag on the exhaust, and try out a load on it.
