REEF TANK LOST POWER WHAT SHOULD I DO?!! (1 Viewer)

[thangbom4321]

I so wanted that truck!! I still think its a nice truck and can do everything including power the house but I read some bad reliability ratings on it that put on the breaks! I too was considering it because of the onboard 20a/30a outlets got camping.

Oh it's still under construction. Hoping to make more progress over the next week though. After I finish painting the house, that is. Always something...

And yeah, that storm was nothing to mess with. We just had a flash storm come out of nowhere last week. Left people without power for a while. The weather is getting worse.

The only things thta keep my natural-gas-converted generator from starting are bad spark plugs or low batteries. Long gone are the days of gelled up carburetors. Those are the problem 95%+ of the time when you're running gasoline.

I like this little Honda because I can turn the gas off and drain it out of the carburetor before I store it. I just hate gas altogether.

Yeah for sure. It burns better and provides more power than NG or propane, but it brings a lot of problems with it as well, especially if you're not using it regularly.

And the darn fumes! Propane is way cleaner.

I make a trip to bucees waller and spend an extra dollar to buy non-ethanol (corn) fuel. That corn is what gums the carbs up even worse. It last longer also so not worried about it going bad when I put it into the cars. I run propane also. Also use a trickle charger on your battery

Consumer Reports gigs every new car/truck that comes out for having bad reliability. Usually takes a 2-3 years before enough are actually out in the wild to get a good sample size for their surveys to be accurate. On top of that CR gets a large portion of it's donations from corporate sponsors so you can bet that their reports just like JD Power and others are skewed. I have had mine for a year and the only issue I have had with it was the heat exchanger (a component unique to the PB) developed a coolant leak and was fixed with a pair of $5.60 fittings. Other than that one issue it has been absolutely flawless.

On a different note I would have gotten one or two of the EcoFlow Delta Pro inverters for short term outages if I didn't buy the F150 PB. Those things are amazing.

That ain’t not joke. I don’t! If I did, my small generator wouldn’t be able to run that along with everything else.

Last year…I filled several milk jugs with RODI and Froze them. Probably wouldn’t last more than about 2-3 days, but it would buy me some time to think. Maybe I should think now, and figure out a better plan.

I tried the ice thing when getting my air conditioner worked on back when I was in an appt and it did not work that well. Fan blowing across the water did way more.
