<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Dave,</div><div> 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.</div><div><br></div><div>John Blittersdorf </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I</div><div>S</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Tn</div><div><br></div><div><br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Sep 14, 2013, at 8:56 PM, Gary Willett <<a href="mailto:Gary@IcarusSolarServices.com">Gary@IcarusSolarServices.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

designed by Generac with research funded by the Propane Council
from the ground-up as an off-grid propane-only generator used to
charge batteries.<br>

for a good quality, long lasting, LP gas genset
for my off grid rental house. 6 to 8kW. Full power
at 120Vac would be nice. In the past some have
recommended a Coleman off grid model as I

Kohlers, and the like, have been holding up for
off grid use over the past few years.</span></p>
