[RE-wrenches] Generators?

[jay peltz]

HI August,

First you need to determine fuel type
diesel or propane/natural gas
next  how much this will be used, and how long the fuel might sit.


next, you should look at size, for 8kw continuous,  10-14kw is first estimate.
fuel type and derating for altitude and temperature will help to determine size.

that will help to get the narrowing process going.
