Very rough,
48Hp close to 30Kw at 4,000 plus. At 1,800 is about
12Kw minus Power factor = about 9Kw useable at low revs on multi pole generator.
The engine should not glaze at that and if kept close to a reasonable load at 4
to 5 Kw then you could have a happy genset that should last a very long time. I
run Deutz units which are horrible for prices on parts.
My very quick and rough and ready
calcs.

Subject: [Biofuel] VW Diesel to power a
generator
Hello all,
I'm interested in getting
a diesel generator. A friend has offered me a VW Rabbit diesel engine
(48HP) and says it would be great to power a generator. It seems a bit
overkill. I was looking at 4 - 6 HP.
Guidance here would be
appreciated.
Tom
