Maybe a milsurp 120/240v diesel would be handy, just make sure it's
single phase.
You can rewire most 3-phase units zigzag for single-phase.
The unit is derated, of course. Our 40kW 3-phase unit is
26kW zigzag, as it is currently wired. Doesn't matter, we're
limited by the 40A (or 50A) breaker

That 50A 220V outlet is probably the 3-prong triangle sort of
arrangement? Like a dryer plug? Or two spades then another one
vertical to them in the middle? I can't remember all the various types
for the different loads. You can come off there and put in another
