Exhaust on a petrol generator

[rlloyd]

I would recommend that you put your small shed with the generator in it outside your big shed for safety concerns. A small exhaust leak in a small enclosed area like a shed can be deadly. But to answer your question, no fans needed. make sure the exhaust is piped with rigged threaded pipe and use sealant on the threads and run the pipe at least one foot past the outside of the shed. make sure the intake pipe is at least twice as large as your intake at the motor and you must have an air filter. Your biggest problem is going to be the heat from the generator itself. Small air cooled motors will overheat quickly in an enclosed environment.

Thanks for the reply

I would put it outside in its own shed, but it will not last two minutes, it has happened not long ago someone thought they had took all the precautions he could, but it still got nicked.

Thanks for the pipe info. was thinking on the same lines.

Hopefully answered you question regarding overheating in the last reply, I could put some 12volt fan to help with air circulation inside the box

PS I'll go into more detail when answering the other replies
