Can you refuel a diesel generator while it running?
Can you refuel a diesel generator while it running?
Never add gas to a generator while it is running or when it is hot. Gasoline spilled onto a hot engine can ignite, creating an instantaneous fire and possibly an explosion. Before refueling a generator, turn off the motor and let it cool down completely, which may take 15 minutes or so.
What does it mean when your Dodge Ram is overheating?
When first started you should hear a slight roar that will quickly fade to quiet. This roar is the fan clutch engaging the fan and the sound of the fan pulling air. Then when the engine gets to above normal operating temperature, you should hear it start to roar again until the temperature lowers. This is the clutch operating normally.
What should the temp of a Dodge Ram be?
The truck is now maintaining a 250° operating temperature. When I rev the engine, the temperature gauge moves slowly back to the 200° range, but when left to idle, it moves back up to 250°. It doesn’t move past that point, I was concerned that it would eventually move to the red line and overheat.
Why does my car heat up when the AC is off?
When AC is off, the air hitting the rad is outside air temp, when the AC is on, the air hitting the rad has been warmed by the condenser and is now much hotter than the outside air. This is not usually a problem, if you have good air flow. Two things, the air flow may be blocked and/or the engine fan may not be turning.
What should coolant temp be when engine is hot?
With a good OBD2 code reader, you can also check the live data and the parameters of the CTS sensor. Check that the temperature value of the CTS is around 80-90c when the engine is hot. A lot of engine coolant temperature sensors have two wires and the sensor is controlled by Ohm.

What to do if your Dodge Ram heater is not working?
Cold start the engine and wait for it to warm up. Touch the upper and lower radiator hoses. If neither of the hoses start to warm up, the thermostat might not be properly regulating the cooling system. Allow the engine to cool down, and then remove the thermostat.
Is there a water heater for a Dodge Ram?
I notice the Ford offers an aux electric water heater with their PS diesel but didn’t see the same offering with RAM. My Co worker has a 2006 so it has the 5.9. If he starts it and let’s it run for 15 minutes before leaving he is just starting to get hest at the end of his 8 mile drive.
What’s the warm up time for a Cummins diesel?
