Pump Technology Enables Polisher to Run Constantly


Keeping water and impurities out of a diesel engine's fuel system is important, but it doesn't have to consume the entire battery. Parker Energy Systems' patent-pending FPM-050 Fuel Polishing Module is designed to remove emulsified water from diesel fuel systems and prevent contaminant build up by maximizing the effectiveness of Racor's fuel filter/water separators. The FPM-050 offers exceptionally low power draw and long life, increasing value to the owner.

The state-of-the-art piezoelectric pump installed in the FPM-050 uses about 2W to run, equivalent to 3.6 A-hr/day. Common navigation lights even take more power to operate. With such a low power draw, the FPM-050 can run continuously and unattended for extended periods of time, without depleting the battery. When run constantly, the module prevents water and other contaminants from accumulating in the fuel system, keeping the engine at peak performance levels.

The FPM-050's piezoelectric pump also features substantially longer life than other displacement pumps. The ingenious design of the FPM-050's pump eliminates many of the wear points that others typically have, enabling owners of the FPM-050 to enjoy many years of use without seeing performance diminish over time.

Parker Energy Systems' FPM-050 Fuel Polishing Module has a price of $587. The piezoelectric pump and Racor fuel filter/water separator are included.

Yamaha Announces All-New EF2400iSHC Generator

A Great Camping Companion and Perfect for at-home Backup in the Off-Season



Click Illustration for Larger Image

Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., introduces a High Current version of the top selling EF2400iS – the new EF2400iSHC. Compact, lightweight and quiet while still powerful, reliable and with low emission, the Yamaha EF2400iSHC generator is perfect for camping, tailgating, powering workshop equipment or at home as back-up during a power outage.

From small power tools to appliances such as a refrigerator or microwave oven, the new Yamaha EF2400iSHC starts appliances quicker thanks to High Current technology and special Field Effect Transistors in the electronic controller. These features combine to increase the surge output, helping the new EF2400iSHC respond more quickly for greater big-appliance starting capacity and longer run time for all uses. A powerful 171cc engine and Yamaha’s industry leading Smart Throttle, which automatically adjusts the engine speed to match the load, allowing the EF2400iSHC to run at a slower engine speed resulting in quieter running and maximum fuel efficiency – up to 8.6 hours at 1/4-capacity load on one tank of fuel.

To ensure the EF2400iSHC retains its portability – small and lightweight (merely 75 pounds) – without sacrificing strength or reliability, a die cast aluminum frame and aluminum flywheel was used. Additionally, the EF2400iSHC has an actual noise level range of only 53~60 decibels (quieter than normal speech) – giving consumers a lightweight, quiet running and durable generator.

The EF2400iSHC will see most of its work done RVing, tailgating, at the hunting cabin, and during other recreation or leisure activities, but its real mettle is proven at-home during a power outage. The EF2400iSHC uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to produce high-quality electricity, which is as clean if not cleaner than the power supplied by public utility companies. PWM means consumers can use this generator with confidence as a power source for computers, variable speed power tools and appliances with built-in computer functions – perfect for charging cell phones and other sensitive electronics.

With a single side-mounted control panel that puts all controls on one surface and a detachable rear panel for easy access to service and maintenance points, the new EF2400iSHC is simple to use and easy to maintain. Like all recently introduced Yamaha generators, the EF24000iSHC meets the strictest emission standards in the country making it legal in all fifty states including California.

The EF2400iSHC will be available for purchase in January at local Yamaha generator dealers; retail price is $1,479.00. To see Yamaha’s entire generator model lineup or to find the closest dealer, visit www.yamaha-motor.com/generators or call 1-800-88-YAMAHA.
