The telemetry was just some general purpose telemetry board. Was probably a
Netguardian from DPS telecom. Forrest has stuff that will monitor the battery
too.
I think the charger was a regulated 13.6 volt 2 amp power supply. Been many
years since I was managing that network.

Chuck, what model is this better charger with telemetry?

Dead generator start batteries used to be the bane of my existence. I
started routing them indoors where they were in a temperature controlled
environment. Never had a failure after doing that. Also, the built in
chargers were crap too. I got some more expensive trickle chargers for them.
And telemetry on them. Through just the start battery telemetry alone I could
see the weekly start and run cycle. Check how long it ran. Could see it
running as the voltage would come up on the battery pretty quickly. You could
see the cranking etc.

As long as there isn’t water in the diesel tank it doesn’t grow algae, and
the algicide itself isn’t expensive. The generator has a jacket heater to
keep it at about 120F, and it sits on a dual wall tank. The heat from the
engine keeps the diesel liquid. Once it’s running the fuel lift pump
circulates warm fuel in the tanks. In the 10 years it’s been here it’s never
failed to complete its 30 minute weekly test runs due to fuel issues. It’s
had other issues - coolant leaks, dead heaters, dead batteries, dead chargers,
but no fuel issues.

Because when it's -10F diesel doesn't have issues?

I believe I calculated needing three 1000 gallon tanks as -10F or
something goofy like that to get enough vapor flow. Other option was a
propane vaporizer that burned propane to vaporize liquid.
Yeah, just went with a diesel base tank.

It is the lack of sufficient vapor, and it is a thermal runaway

So is the problem ice or liquified propane in the hose and
regulator?
Or insuffient vapor pressure in the cold tank? Noting that
vaporization will make the tank contents even colder.

"For reference, this past year I’ve been charged $4.90/gal
and $1.15/lb at two different local places to refill 20 and 30 lb portable
tanks."
That is like quoting the cost of electricity based on what it
costs at a DC fast charger. Has more to do with delivery costs to move it into
your tank than it has to do with the cost of propane which is like sub $2 a gal
in MN right now.
