Sandy, Oh Crap

[Wayne64]

Only can get off a few lines and post two pics. The first is my faithful M37B1 (Vietnam era) feeding my 3Kw Desert Storm Gen-Set. The second is just one of the pictures to show what the south shore of Long Island got hit with. That's a house boat that is around 600 yards inland. Damage is bad and I don't leave the house without my model 60.

WOW, glad you are OK. Good luck.

Wayne,
Man, you guys took a beating. Thats a clever set up with the gen set. Be safe and our prayers are with you. Keep that model 60 handy and keep us posted when you can

Glad to hear you're safe and sound, Wayne!

Good to hear from you Wayne. Nice set up on the Gen. using the Gas tank drain as a feed . I hear there's another storm heading our way....

Yes the trucks fuel supplies the generator. Also when I redid the truck I added the 24v slave and have the Nato jumper cable, so I also use the electric start on the gen-set which is a plug in. Sal, that next storm is making me pause in pulling the engine on the set and putting in a new rear main seal. I have a military 10KW unit that I need to repair and cut down a boat trailer to move it around. There should lots of cheap trailers once the insurance folks get finished

Some good, some bad news, glad to hear your still afloat Wayne64!
I'll look around for some of that trailer action.

Nice generator setup using the M37 fuel tank. Great Yankee ingenuity!
A generator is like a pocket knife, you'll never use it if you don't have one.

A generator saved my son's basement in Ohio in the aftermath of Sandy's
torrential rains.
No electricity and no sump pumps. A small generator saved his basement
from being flooded and causing thousands of $$$ in damage.

I'll proudly take the credit for telling him to buy a small generator a few
years ago.

You did right by having him prepared. BTW the main reason that I don't use the below generator fuel tank is the E10 has a habit of killing the fuel pump diaphragm. So the small side tank for short runs and the truck for the longer haul since in both cases I trust gravity feed for the carb. I finally saw part of the barrier beach, OH sh!t, The dunes of Jones Beach are now gone. They were washed into the bay where I boat, so after knowing the bay for 60+ years I now have to relearn it.
