Backup generators. [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Carl,

Well I can tell you from experience that the best are the diesels hands down.
They just do a better job, plus cost the least to operate.    The propane
units have all had problems, even the so called commercial units from Kohler
etc.  ( they probably work fine in load loading, but under heavy load burn
valves with great regularity.)

Yes the diesels are the loudest, smell bad, but you can potentially buy
Biodiesel ( currently I am running a 40% mixture in my diesel truck) and have
if not a non polluting at least no net carbon gain.
