G'day all, just a little 'happening this past week they interest a few of you.
SWMBO starts bitching a few nights ago about the ‘chemical smell’ in the garage.
Your smelling things and accusing me as usual I retort.
This ‘robust’ dialogue continues until she gets me out into the garage to shut her up.
Bugger! it absolutely stinks of petrol.
Anyway a quick search identifies that my Bunnings GMC 850W genie that I have ‘blown my bags about numerous times on this
forum’ has started to ‘persist’ fuel out of the outlet tap area and nothing I tried would stop it.
Sooooo! Dig out the credit card slips from April 04 and find the relevant one and down to Bunnings I go yesterday.
30Mins later I’m home again with a brand new one. No cost – straight exchange, pick your own from the stock pile.
Unpack it, fuel it, two pulls and away it goes. Smooth as, compared to the other one.
No fuel leaks and pumping out 15/16V DC and 230V AC
Now the good old SWMBO used to carry on a treat when I fired the other one up about the smoke and noise. This one is quiet as and no visible smoke/fumes.
I also noticed that the 12V lead was a very much ‘up market one’ compared to the one with the leaking unit. Must be a new generation model.
This replacement is the third one I’ve had. The first one P E E’ D fuel everywhere when I first filled it. = rtd it and got number 2 which I just returned for P E E I N G fuel again, so I hope this one is OK.
I still believe they are great value for money and the purpose for what I use it for. I don’t think I would use it to power life support equipment though.
And Bunnings service policy is just ace , also it is only 1km from place which makes things real easy.
