<p>As an aside, maybe I've been living under a rock but I have not
heard of 1800 RPM gensets running on propane, but exclusive to
diesel. It sounds like that's a thing. I'm small time off-grid
here but I could easily see 3-4 units/year. I'm assuming if this
come to fruition, the manufacturer would be thinking off-grid
durability, not home standby. I like the water-cooled aspect of
this proposal for less noise.</p>
<p> I would also hope for a manufacturer that has good on
the ground coverage for service, warranty, maintenance.<br>

dozen <15kw generators annually. Mostly diesel and a few

Would love to see the return of the quality smaller
