Hooking up a tri-fuel generator to power a house | sound dampening, stealth enclosure, exhaust
Hooking up a Duromax XP12000EH generator that will power the basics for an entire house in the event of a power outage or disaster. The ideas and concepts in this video could easily be adapted for an off-grid home. This particular generator will run off propane, unleaded gasoline and natural gas. The generator can easily be unhooked and removed for servicing or use on an alternate site. The decibel reading before the enclosure was approximately 80 dbs. After the installation of the enclosure, exhaust re-routing and sound deadening the decibel reading was approximately 69.

1:00 starting the project
1:45 Gen security/anti theft
3:40 Sound deadening
4:30 exhaust routing
8:20 foam the gaps
9:00 CNG conversion/frame mods
11:20 Exterior exhaust and final assembly
17:25 First Start up and test
***As far as the exhaust thimble I got that at Home Depot. I then measured the ID of the thimble and subtracted the OD of the exhaust tube. Then I took that number and sized the OD of the spring 1/8" under that. I went to Mcmaster for the spring. They have tension and compression springs, this was a compression spring.
Heres a video by Chris setting up the same GEN for natural gas without frame mods:
