<p class="MsoNormal"> I have sold 8 Eco-Gens so far and
first impressions are great. I wasn't aware of the govt
funded research but it makes sense. I have one installed on
top of Herrick Mtn doing an average of 4 hours a day backing
up a transmitter site. This winter will be the test. So
far we have almost 500 hours on it (first oil change coming
up) and no problems. This is a remote site with only
snowmobile access in winter. The gen is doing great on
fuel economy. About .7 gph at 2300 watt load.<o:p></o:p></p>
