Finally After Two Years
« on: Today at 06:45:38 am »
Between my battle with stage-4 Lymphoma and our legal battle that is now scheduled for review at SCOTUS on 9/28, I finally fired up our PC after 2 years sitting inside our garage. It started right up as if it had ran the day before.  The same with the generator though I had installed a fuel cut-off on it to drain the carb for long term storage.  All systems I operated like the a/c, inverter, etc. are working fine.  I never let our PC sit that long before, wondering what to expect.  We took it to church last Sunday, a 30 mile round trip to put some miles on it.  I can't tell that it is burning 2 year old gasoline.  At the gas-filler, the fuel smells fine without STA-BIL.  We will be taking it out soon on a short get-away, hoping to go cross country later in the season.  Two years ago, I did prep the rig with the gas tank topped off and all batteries disconnected and maintained, be it done rarely.  The tires dropped 10 psi during those 2 years in storage.  Our 2007 PC has only 45,500 miles on it today.  We need to do something about that.  I plan a full mechanical go-through at 50,000.  I have done only partials up to this point.
