David, We have two customers using MQ Multiquip Whisperwatt diesels
with no problems. One is a 7KW and the other a 15KW. All their
generators come in sound attenuated steel enclosures. These generators
are designed to run 24-7 for years on end with only regular
maintenance. They are also available with fuel cell trailers for long
run times, or they can have external storage tanks, as with any
generator. The manufactures one year guarantee warrants the use of
boidiesel.
