New thermal imager

The new thermal imager has been placed on 2522. It is very similar to the old one and uses the same charging base. If you have any questions please direct them to DC Straily. DC Straily has the old TIC and is planning on having it placed on 2523

Thanks
Rob

5000 watt generator

Brett reminded me that the fuel was swapped out on the generator just the other day.  I spoke with Greg.  His advice is to store it completely dry and start with fresh fuel every time.  That may be the best plan.  Thank you.

5000 watt Honda generator formerly on 2541

Upon removal from 2541 the 5000 watt Honda generator was found to be leaking fuel.  This may be a byproduct of our old white gas days.  This generator has an approximate replacement cost of $2500 dollars and still has a lot of value in an emergency.  It has been sent to Clatsop Power with instructions for a serious makeover with an eye toward being stored under a ready rack.  They will dump and flush the fuel and look at all the old seals.  Fred thinks that he has an old wheel kit for this model and would like to give it to us at no cost.  It will be refueled with a small amount of non-ethanol fuel when it returns.  Fred would like to emphasize that this model has a fuel shut off switch that should be used and then allow the unit to run until the carburetor is empty and it runs out of fuel.  He cautions that when removing from storage that it may take a couple of minutes for the gravity fed fuel to fully settle into the carburetor and restart it.  “If it has been stored properly it may take a couple of minutes before it is ready to fire up and run.”  This is a good piece of equipment that needs to be stored properly.  It should be kept with a minimum of fuel and should not need to be ran on a regular basis.  When it  returns we needs to put some instructions with it to remind us how to store it.  Thank you.

2561 Back in Service

Hey Team,
