Title: The SUPER-GENERATOR LIVES!!!!!!!!!

our original tank had a capacity of 1/2 gallon and was always running out of gas and shutting our warmers off, so we went with a five gallon can.

Car exhaust helped quiet it down, but it is still loud so we are going to baffle the intake to get it quieter.

Two quick release pins let the gas tank remove for staorage, travel space and refuling tank at the pumps.  Support arms swivel downward when tank is removed.  Quick-release fuel line, so no spillage when removing tank.

We named her the "Slo-Poke"  cause she is the 'All Day Sucker'

We test ran her yesterday and last night, 30 hours before we shut her down.  We are calculating we will only have to refuel her once per season!!!!!  :-*

Muffler worked out great, cut the sound in half.  Instead of the loudest one at the track, sounds on-par with everybody elses now  ;D

I'd like to see a bigger pic of your creation.  I would love to get our generator more quiet too!
