I would just use the off the shelf strength.

I don't have any experience with that brand generator. It may not Have a vent to the atmosphere like the older diesel's did. I would try to find a parts breakdown and see if you can find it.

I looked thru the manual from Power Tech. It just gave me the options that it could be. 

Thanks

For the last 20 or so years I have been using hydrogen peroxide.  With an empty tank fill with 1 pt and about 15 gallons of water.  Run the pump and turn on each faucet hot and cold including the kitchen sink rinser.  Fill the tank to the desired capacity and just begin using the system.  Some time ago I had a discussion with an engineer in charge of the water quality at a chemical plant and he said they use hydrogen peroxide on a regular basis.  I had something growing in my kitchen sink rinser line and full strength bleach wouldn't kill it.  Used hydrogen peroxide and the problem was cured.

What strength hydrogen peroxide do you use? Off the shelf at Walmart or a more industrial strength.

wife and i are planning to retire in  october.  hitting the road in a 2002 alfa seeya.  we are planning to do mostly boondocking, so we need to add solar.  alter looking at videos, and talking to people, i am more confused than i started.  does anyone sell a complete kit, start to finish.  i can do the install, just need to know what to get. need to update the inverter and batterys to lithium.  any help would be appreciated.

Look at JC Refrigeration in Shipshewana, IN. Small town near Elkhart, IN. They do solar and refrigeration. Good people.

That is two different settings on my inverter/charger.

2006 Cat generator/Power Tech is blowing oil from dipstick tube. I can seal that off. per service tech at Power tech, but then it starts leaking from oil filler pipe. Not a huge amount but enough to puddle up on top of cover. I think the crankcase vent must be stopped up but I've looked everywhere and can't locate a vent tube. Some vent from top of valve cover but this one does not. It will also leak some out after sitting a few days. Has anyone else had this issue?
