Title: Re: [Repeater-Builder] generators diesel to propane
       About 2 years ago I was at a sewer plant that had a Diesel generator as back up . EPA was there suppervising cleaning up what they called a spill
That was costing the PSD major bucks . Just where a line had been leaking on ground , 15 years ago no one would have said any thing about it , just fixed and gone on . They removed about 7 truck loads moved them to back of lot put plastic around them . Told them to let set so long and then they could use dirt . Seems like waste of time & money to me.

The Diesel Generators are fine just local govt regulations, however propane & LP Gas are cheap source of fuel.

The pain of dealing with the local goverment regs
really put a wet blanket on back-up Diesel Generator
operation.

You can reduce the headache over 50% by using, converting
or conversion to propane where possible and most often
more practical.

This is digressing, but if it's a diesel, you don't
want a 100KW generator running a 3KW load or it
will wet stack.

Quote:
2) A diesel engine is subject to "wet stacking" or over
fueling if run for long periods of time with ultra light
loads (less than 40% of the rated output). "Wet Stacking"
causes the engine to smoke and run rough because the
injectors become carbonized. Running a heavy load will
usually clean up the over-fuel condition and allow the
engine to perform normally. Diesel engines operate better
and more fuel efficient when loaded (70-80% is optimum).
