The specs:
'77 Kingsley, Onan 6K gen set
The action:
Take off a bad fuel pump.
The discovery:
The sound deadening material on one top corner of the gen compartment looks
like it was burnt with a propane torch.
My concern:
Anyone have any thoughts on the safety issues of this material?
It looks like painted open cell foam rubber. The exhaust manifold on the
Onan is less than 3 inches away from this foam. As I looked up from my
creeper at this charred mass, I almost melted myself.
The question:
Can anyone recommend an alternative substance that will keep the noise down
and not pose a fire hazard?
I'd often thought about painting flames on the front for that classic hot
rod look, but having them come out of the back of the coach as we drive is a
bit much.
