I was gonna add a 30 amp fuse to the main power line. Good?

 

Call in sick and giterdun

 

What's the switch amperage rated for?

 

parts ordered for the oven ,
waiting to borrow AC pressure gages and a friends assistance on the the Honda, but I Think the compressor took a shit.
pump is working for now but sounds like the shit and drawing high amps. its on its last leg, over heating and shutting down. I need to order a new one.
no need to take time off just got to knock them out one by one.
And keep the honey do list at bay.
this thing is bad ass. I highly recommend.

 

Anyone want a free propane tank. Looks to be about 10 gallon. It's a spare tank for forklift, but we've been told it requires its own special vented flame locker. So, rather than spend a butt ton of dough for a locker the boss says get rid if it.

 

No idea. Would the switch say on it?

Hey man...its fernando and i dont know shit

 

that's what we are here for.
You have my number. I almost always answer it.

 

Cool. Thanks bro. Ill call you tonight if i start on it

 

Some switches say on it. I was just wondering because, if it's too small, I wouldn't run temporary. But like Jason and others say, relay it. I may some relays around you can have

 

Cool! Thanks bro!!

 

Too bad you're not closer, I have my old pool pump that I you could have. Works fine (little loud because of a bearing), but only removed to install a variable speed. I highly suggest variable speed if your pump is near ear shot and you have electricity bills. I can barely hear it when outside and full blast and now can run it during the night. Got the Hayward 2302VSP.

 

Free?

Not as good as a 20 gal.

 

that's what's wrong with mine. bearings are loud as fuck causing it to draw more then normal amps. causing it to over heat and shut down. time to get a variable speed.

 

Yeah mine was running fine, but bugged the shit out of me. Couldn't run it besides the day because the whining was too loud for me at least. So much happier with my variable speed.

Also you can get $100 back from pg&e if you get a qualified variable speed pump.

 

Make sure u have the right size wire, atleast a #10 if u run a 30amp fuse. The fuse is designed to protect the wire, not the light.

 

The cage isn't the big expense. It is the permitting, inspections and annual fees that are based in part on quantity stored.

 

Assuming it needs to be mounted horizontally?

Edit: I was thinking 10 lbs, or 2.5 gal. That thing is too big for me. Would be awesome on the front portion of an expo trailer though.

Edit again: Does that say 10 lbs.? If so, I'll take it!

 

I found a pretty good basic tutorial on automotive electronics.
Browse thru it when you get some alone time (wife and kid are asleep )

It doesn't cover relays, though, an important concept to understand:
