Why most people pick diesel over gas:
Diesel powered generators remain the number-one choice for standby and emergency power systems worldwide.
Portable Generators:Picking a generator that is right for you will depend on your power needs. Portable generators are the most popular for lighter use because of their ease of use. Portable generators are often kept protected in a shed or garage until needed and then wheeling them outdoors. You have the ability to move them from one location to another. Large Diesel Standby Generators:Larger diesel generators use slower turning and more powerful engines that last longer and are able to run full time. The engines are water cooled and often they turn on automatically when the power fails making restoring power simple. Increased power means you can power your whole home or business rather then just a few critical devices and that makes withstanding prolonged power outages more comfortable and easier to cope with. Often the fuel tanks are able to hold days worth of fuel. How much power do you need?The silent type enclosed diesel generators are one of the most popular for residential use. Many are satisfied with a 6000 Watt Diesel Generator to power just the necessities such as your fridge, freezer, pumps, television, microwave and lights. You can even have it hooked up directly to your home using a generator transfer switch. For heavy loads to operate such as whole home heating and air conditioning, pumps and dryers a larger diesel generators are your only option. The cost are very reasonable considering the extra power reserve you will have. You can often operate normally without the worry of overloading and frequent refueling. Diesel Standby Generators add security and comfort and are very simple to operate. Heating and Air Conditioning require a lot more power then a portable generator can provide. While some portable generators may almost have enough power, they operate at 3600 rpm shortening their life where as larger units operate at half that. 1800 rpm. Noise Levels:There are two type of diesel generators. Open frame and closed frame. The closed frame are also known as "silent generators" The larger closed frame units have much larger mufflers and sound insulation to make them no louder then the level of two people taking to each other a few feet away. Diesel or Gas Generators:Why diesel-power instead of gasoline? Unlike gas engines, diesels have no spark plugs to replace, or carburetors to rebuild and service. Diesels generally burn less than half the fuel that gas engines do to do the same amount of work. Diesels regularly outlast gas engines ten-to-one. For example, the average gas engine powering a generator will run for around 1000 hours before needing replacement or a complete overhaul. And that’s an average. The average diesel engine will run 20,000 hours before needing any service beyond routine maintenance, but many make it to 50,000 hours, and some a lot longer than that. At four hours a day, even 20,000 hours works out to nearly fourteen years. Fuel Savings:
The fuel-efficiency alone is a good reason to buy diesel. It's also a lot safer to store. It is flammable, but not explosive like gasoline. And although diesels sometimes produce more visible exhaust, it is less toxic than the
emissions from a gasoline engine. A well-tuned diesel, by the way,
produces no visible exhaust except briefly, under severe load-changes.
