Carrying gasoline for generator

Your opinion...

1st year cost for my setup
Generator $849 - 20% = $679.20
2 year warrenty $159 - 10% = $143.10
(10% discount sale on Generator)
(10% discount on Total 1st use harbor freight cc)
Remote start kit $129 (1 time cost)
Extended run kit $259 (1 time cost)
Custom box $225 frame mount (1 time cost)
Portable ac $300 (5.100 btu)
Reroute exhaust $17 (1 time cost)
Total cost 1st year $1,752.30

I can replace the Generator , ac, and Extended warrenty (at full price
if needed) every 2 years for $1,328
That's a total cost of $7064.30 for 6 years.... versus what $13,000 for a new apu....

 

it's been like that for 3 months with no problems... in 3 weeks when I'm home for 10 days I'm having a frame mount custom box made for it... solid top cutout for gas fill, vented sides with cutout for pull start and oil fill/check, vented back with hole for exhaust pipe, vented front with cover for control panel and plugs.....

 

for now it sits as you see it.... for 3 months so far with no problems.... putting a cover on it would defeat the purpose of the remote start as you would need to remove the cover before you used it. I'm having a custom frame mount box built for it in 3 weeks

Took longer to remove to 2 side covers than install the kit.... took about 45min total... 10min just for the kit... it really simple to install. Yes it kicks the choke long enough for it to start 1st try.... I love it... if I wake up hot just press a button and it starts wait 15sec and press a button the ac starts... when it's time to leave I just turn off the ac then press a button and off goes the generator.

I have the kit at home and will be installing it in 3 weeks..... I have a spare 6gl tank for my boat I'll be using

3 months so far

 

that was a rough quote over the phone from a small shop by my house... I'll know the real total after a get home so he can see just how I want it and where it goes

 

Does anyone follow the 20hr oil change intervals?

 

My predator is 100hr
