Thread: Camper battery charging rate

    A ctek 25 amp is smart charger that plugs into 240 v. The output on the eu20 is only 8 amp so I suggest you don't use that without a fuse. just because the alternator and engine combo is Honda doesn't mean it's quiet. I have an eu20 it's awesome. At work we have A Honda generator and its as loud as a mower.

    it's always five o clock somewhere

    If you already have a 240 v charger I wouldn't mess with it. Just plug in and use where needed and ad your solar as well to help

    glazing is cause by low combustion pressures leading to poor ring sealing and oil bypassing, th oil then burns poorly and the byproduct fills in the hashing on the bores which then leads to more oil bypassing...

    the downshot of this is because the rings dont seal up properly you loose combustion pressure as blow by, and you start burning up more oil... which exacerbates the glaing issue. you also develop hard starting

    theres a solution. DONT let diesels idle, Idling means working unloaded. even at high idle speeds you will eventually glaze the bores. Glazing, if caught early enough can be reversed. guaranteed you wont like the way I deglaze passenger vehicle diesels, tyre shops on the other hand....


    petrol engines suffer from fouling harder to develop and like glazing if caught early is easy to sort but a lot harder if you let it go too long

    Dave, you lost me here with the tyre shop comment ... and how do you deglaze?

    I know this is somewhat off-topic but I'm curious.

    In the 'good old days' a gentle puff of something abrasive in the intake was the go.
    Ajax, Bon Ami, that sort of thing.
    How that would go in a modern CI engine.. no idea.

    Best not to idle unnecessarily and avoid the issue to start with I think.

    Cheers,

    I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

    I think you'll find he's referring to a "static" Italian Tune-up...

    Hence the tyre shop will like your custom to fit new rubber..

    ALmost....

    It starts out with some "spirited" driving and begins to get decidedly mechanically unsympathetic from there. I generally dont like to spin the wheels as that unloads the engine in a manner not entierly within my control. I usually don't ease up until the brakes are smoking.

    Imagine levels of abuse that would have ISIS henchmen shaking their heads and procliming "jesus, thats a bit harsh" and you're in the ball park.
