  • That is a neat idea. Thanks for sharing!!

    

  • Nice I built my own external run tank with a marine supply line and clips no mess design love these 2k's the 3k's are a lil bit quieter but can't beat the one hand carry ease of the 2k sweet vid

  • Excellent and clever DIY idea. Great job.

  • What's that blue hose doing there on your fuel cap?

  • @framelocator

    That's the connection to the auxiliary fuel tank. You can see it in my other videos

  • PVC, duct tape, a razor blade....

    Add a little imagination and anything is possible.

  • I like it! I need to do mine also.. This was very helpful. No w I just need to find out what type of oil to replace it with. I am a huge AMS oil fan and will use their synthetic stuff if I am able.

  • @Slabslayin I use Amsoil 10W30 small engine oil but 10W30 will work fine. Amsoil is a synthetic, probably the best available. Available online, delivered to your front door.

  • I love your ingenuity, both here and in your Gerry Can video! As you might expect, there is a company who has now made a beautifully machined aluminum extension piece that threads right into the oil dipstick. It costs around $15, and is made by The Great River Company out of New Mexico. I ordered mine when I ordered my aluminum gas cap for my extended fuel system. It can be found on Amazon. Search: Honda Generator Oil Change Filler/Drain Tube, Model# HOF10. Works beautifully and is bulletproof

  • Awesome- glad I watched before I made a mess!! Fantastic!

  • @jnelson280 Glad you did too. Youtube is wonderful..

  • great idea with the pvc pipe

  • Wish I'd watched before changing my Honda's oil- a mess! :)

    Thanks for your tips, EU!

  • Nice tool, I will make one for my Gen set!

  • Thank you for making this, excellent tips.

  • thanks for the vid,whats the maximum power outage of the honda eu2000i will it power a 1000watt power tool?

  • @fredbair Sorry for the late reply, Yes, 1000W should be no problem. I use Metal cutting saw that's rated at 1700W all the time with no problem.

  • Thanks for the video, I just bought mine tonight and now I know how to change the oil.....

  • that helped me a lot, thanks so much from California

  • @9k2ubb

    Thanks Mohammad.

    With greetings from Iran

  • Thanks. The Honda design must be the worst in the world for oil changes.

    What a surprise the first time you try it. There's such a nice little chute built in. And you get a waterfall of oil down the bottom edge with it, none of your oil going into the prepared container, and you're holding this 50 pound oil-covered machine.

    I suggest the additional step: change the oil in the road out front so you only have to shovel some dirt on spilt oil and let nature take care of it.

  • @yclept9

    You mean Oil change BP style then. Spill and split!

    I hope you're kidding. It takes 6 minutes flat to do a clean oil change with this cheap PVC pipe. Why not do it the right way and not mess with nature?

  • I just held a empty toilet roll (from the bin) in the same place and tipped it sideways. Then used a funnel to pour fresh oil in. Then return toilet roll to the bin.

  • Great Tutorial video. Recommended by Raiderherm

  • Hi thanks for the Video.

    I brought one today.

    Will use your tips

  • What is the size of the pvc pipe you used

  • @bonhomme1966

    I think 1"??

  • Hi I have Honda EU2000 generator.

    Do you know how charge a 12v battery car with a DC Charging Cord?

  • @LLLTTTCCC

    No, I don't

  • @LLLTTTCCC I bought mine a few weeks ago and there are instructions in the owners manual. There is probably info available on Honda's web site also.

  • Very good idea, nice job.

  • Wow not ONE, but TWO GOOD TIPS!! the funnel and the PVC pipe adapter! I am gonna get/make me one of each now!

    **VERY GOOD TIPS**

    Thanks for sharing!

  • I wish I had a gizmo. Now maybe I can make one. Thanks.

  • Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and for sharing it with your fellow Honda EU2000i owners.

  • @calfrnyn
