He has an old one he hasn't started it in a few (12) years. He's powers came back on about 930 last night.
Well that’s good. Better service that generator next time you’re down...👍

Best thing I ever did with the house was to put a gen panel in. I’ve only used it twice, but great to know I have it.

Perfect. When I am able to resume work on the NM house, I have a back up generator awaiting install. Propane and comes on automatically with line power loss. The ranch in OK is solar and I’ve never had an electrical outage. And scientists assure me that the sun is at 5 billion years with a 10 billion year shelf life...🤞

I think diesel would be a better option. Propane is not very efficient. I have looked at both. 20k diesel 50% load about 1 gallon/hr VS 20k propane 50% load 2.5 gallons/hr. Just what I've seen.

No question that diesel is superior to propane. Also much more expensive and not nearly as convenient.
