Input will be greatly appreciated. I have been considering a purchase of a home emergency backup generator with diesel engine. My plan is to learn to make biodiesel and use it to power the generator. There is a supplier of biodiesel, here in Houston, TX, which i can use as a backup source of fuel. Wish I could say the same for ethanol... sigh
I have found this generator on ebay, and it is local to me. This is the ebay link with picture: http://cgi.ebay.com/EMERGENCY-HOME-DIESEL-GENERATOR_W0QQitemZ7583505605QQcat egoryZ106437QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem here is the text included: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Item Specifics - Generators Type: Trailer Mounted Power Source: Diesel Make: Isuzu Max Output (KW): 50.1 - 100 Model: MAGNUM Condition: Used YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MAGNUM 50 TRAILER MOUNTED EMERGENCY HOME BACK-UP GENERATOR.
