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.

    You need to organise a supply of red diesel Broadgage, and a tank to put it in. Should be no problem, but much cheaper. Loads of suppliers as it is used for farms, some heating etc. They have a long hose to fill tanks unless access is half a mile away.

    If you look at the injector pump carefully you will see a throttle quadrant that has stop screws at each end, worth adjusting the bottom stop to 50Hz or even slightly more. The throttle will move with loading and usually is slightly under-compensated for load. Certain people have been known to add a crystal referenced servo to it, particularly for film and TV use, or even a sync lock input!
