Backup generators. [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Ellison, Alternative Energy Systems]

Depending on initial budget and how long
you expect the unit to operate per year you can convert a less expensive gas
powered generator to propane quite easily with readily available kits for
less than $300.

You can no longer convert the new engines to propane without crossing the
EPA's line. All the new engines are registered and you are not supposed to
tamper with them, the fines are huge. There are  factory propane engines and
you can't convert them to gasoline either!

 Propane generators start relatively easily in the cold
although I would recommend an electric start model with plenty of battery
should the temp be expected to get cold. Easier to auto start than any of
the choices.


I still like diesel, for myself at least. I have some customers who can
destroy any of them in a short period of time..

Later,
Bob
