How slow can you run it without causing problems? I understand the big thing is to keep the engine loaded. Idling diesels without a load causes problems sometimes I understand. I'd like to try to do what you are doing, but with the intention of being able to switch it in and out from the grid at will. But my project list is pretty long right now..
