Re: [Repeater-Builder] generators diesel to propane

[Mark A. Holman]

The Diesel Generators are fine just local govt regulations, however propane & LP Gas are cheap source of fuel. mark h. skipp025 wrote: The pain of dealing with the local goverment regs really put a wet blanket on back-up Diesel Generator operation. You can reduce the headache over 50% by using, converting or conversion to propane where possible and most often more practical. cheers, skipp Kris Kirby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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).
