    I’m so glad I don’t have to transfer SH. My pool store fills my tank direct from their 14000 gal holding tank behind the store. I love your set up. I modified my setup after yours last year. Your channel has been my favorite and invaluable to Me. Thanks Joe for all you do on your channel!

    Joe, great job. That is the one thing I don't like about my GX390 is fueling it up often. I would recommend maybe putting a rubber hose around the fuel line where it is rubbing on the skid (9:03). It could help prevent a leak caused by the vibration. Always great content brother!

    @ridethepace6005 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Joe, I recently started having trouble with my machine running off the auxiliary tank with the fuel petcock and the inline filter. The machine would run sometimes, other times not. Occasionally it would run for an hour or so then quit. I figured out that the integrated filter on the petcock was just too restrictive, even though it was clean when I checked it. I ordered a couple more and cut off the filter. I still have my inkine filter in place. Haven't had any issues since.
