Listeroid genset anchor scheme

[mike90045]

I ran my genset for almost a year tethered to a couple of foundation bolts by 1/8" aircraft cable. For cooling on my engine, I went to the dumps and got an old 40 gal hot water heater. With the top cut off it works great, except for those long hard runs when it is warm, then it will start to boil a bit. 

Tom, you are running an outboard motor fuel tank, as a day tank right ? How do you manage the excess fuel from the pump, empty coke bottle at the engine, or a tube back to the tank ?  Any issues with the diesel in the 2 stroke fuel line ?

Mike, the tank came with a fuel line out the top. I removed the fittings and dipper tube so now that is where the return fuel goes. On the bottom I used "grin" a chrome tire valve stem for a feed through. Cut off the schrader part, drill it out and if the one you use is like mine the threads for the jam nut are 1/8" npt. Drill the hole in the bottom under the filler, that way a stiff piece of wire can be used to thread the feed through into the hole.
