The oil supply and the fuel supply are one and the same.

That is almost the same cost for the switch that I paid.
I use the same setup at the Ranch to switch between the solar and generator
systems. Simple and uncomplicated seems to work better. The less there is
to go wrong, the less goes wrong. ;))

My setup for the house in town has a main disconnect switch for the grid
power, which ensures nothing from the generator feeds back to the grid
lines. That switch has two positions.. Generator power or Grid Power.. The
circuits for the house remain the same, the switch just selects the source.

The big advantage of LP is that it doesn't go bad, not in the tank or in the
engine. Natural gas is way cheaper if available with slightly reduced
power. LP prices are very volatile but you can stock up when prices are
low. I consider LP ideal for a standby generator unless you happen to keep

All true... however, propane engines do require more propane to make the same
energy as a gas engine in the same application.. pro

All true. They also last longer. Less wear.
I've read that gasoline engines operated on propane are much
cleaner, almost never experience carb trouble and can go longer
between oil changes because of it.

Most gasoline engines - and therefore generators - can be
converted to run on propane. A bit less power, but no issu
Roughly 10% loss on propane, 20% on natural gas. It's all about the BTUs.

Most gasoline engines - and therefore generators - can be
converted to run on propane. A bit less power, but no issues
with long term fuel storage!

Diesel Onans typically have a "D" in the model code. For instance, a 12.5 RDJC
is a 12.5kW diesel with a JC engine on it.

Interesting. I presume it runs on gasoline. I would be looking for
something that runs on diesel, since that's what our truck uses.
Otherwise, I have a home-built generator s
