Replacement Generator

[Stephen Birtles]

the problems with most generators is that they are not used enough
a good quality generator is is purpose built and there are some
notably with a real lister petter engine that have accumulated upwards
of 30,000 hours of dependable power. you will pay a premium for this
type of power though they are meant to be continuosly run with
extended range fuel tanks and also oil pans. Isolated
telecommunication sites ar built to be serviced once a month with no
other intervention either refueling or service.
If you want a great generator set look at lister petter coupled with
newage Generator end but be prepared to pay
