Diesel can be corrupted with bacteria, water through condensation and
algae. Fuel polishing is the process to clean the diesel and remove the

Question to all the generator techs out there.
I’ve always been told that you don’t want a diesel to be sitting for long
periods. Fuel can go bad, all that sort of thing.
Vs propane which doesn’t care.
Is that true?
Or in mild climates will a monthly must run be OK?
Thanks

Yes, this is a good point. The QT series from Generac is a great machine
and pricing is better than any other machine in that size that I've seen.
Is there an off-grid warranty on the QT series?

What about the Generac QT commercial units. Liquid cooled, enclosed, sold

For diesel, the Generac protector series meets your requirements.
For mobile, generac acquired Magnum, they have some beautiful models.
