This is digressing, but if it's a diesel, you don't want a 100KW generator running a 3KW load or it will wet stack. http://www.allworlddieselgen.com/faq.htm (sales page) Quote: 2) A diesel engine is subject to "wet stacking" or over fueling if run for long periods of time with ultra light loads (less than 40% of the rated output). "Wet Stacking" causes the engine to smoke and run rough because the injectors become carbonized. Running a heavy load will usually clean up the over-fuel condition and allow the engine to perform normally. Diesel engines operate better and more fuel efficient when loaded (70-80% is optimum). But again, I digress. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!" This message brought to you by the US Department of Homeland Security Yahoo!
