Bob Grundy Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 A friend has purchased this petrol generator yesterday. It has a Jeep starter button and an American amp metre. We think this may have been used in an AFV. Any ideas chaps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Any makers name at all or numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 The makers name plate has been removed and replaced with a distributors one, so nothing to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) The fuel tank on top looks original - if so that tends away from afv use as it'd be plumbed in to the main fuel tank.

Bob Grundy Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 We will have a close look at the petrol tank to see if it was an original fitting. Yes you are of course correct it would have drawn petrol from the direct from the system if in a AFV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I have been looking at pics of US Signal Corps generators, but all seem to have a 'oil drum'-model petrol tank and not the 'oxygen bottle'-model fitted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz48 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It may be helpful to know what amp's and voltage it produces when running - gauging the capacity of the fuel tank suggest it was not for extended periods of use - nice item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Try asking on this Forum. Looks like an Onan as here. http://www.stationary-engine.net/forum/showthread.php?t=44892 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
