Recommend a diesel generator.

broadgage

About 20 KVA, for domestic and home business standby use.  New preferred, but good, low hours used considered.

Weatherproof enclosure not needed as to be installed in a purpose built brick outbuilding.

Push button electric start required, not auto start.

Reliability, and user serviceable at least for minor services, are the most important features.

    I was thinking about standby generators yesterday.

    A few years ago one of my customers who had a standby generator that I didn't get involved with had some guys there to give it an annual service,  ppart of the service involved pumping the diesel out of the tank to polish it, then return it to the tank when clean.

    Jump forward a few years to today,  how long can the diesel remain in the tank and fuel system? Is there additives that can be added to the modern biofuels that will allow them to remain in the tank and fuel system for a full year?
