002 or 003 for 3.5 Ton A/C Unit?
I'm thinking that in the event of a storm or power outage, gas will be hard to find and there will be lots of other people trying to get it also. A diesel would take advantage of my stockpile and there will be fewer people trying to buy diesel than gas. I won't need to be driving to an area...- Olympus

Diesel is definitely the way I'll be going. And I want to run as much as I possibly can. Yes, I'm comfortable hooking up a portable gen with the 4 prong plug. Most of the other diesel gens I'm seeing are 6500 to 7500W and I'm assuming that's surge watts since they are residential/homeowner units.- Olympus

I think diesel is the key factor for me. I keep 100 gallons on hand at all times and have access to just about 5000 gallons at any time. And since it comes from my family's farm, they let me have all I want for free. So fuel economy isn't super important. But being diesel is important.- Olympus

002 or 003 for 3.5 Ton A/C Unit?
After talking to some people and reading through the forum, now I'm a little concerned the MEPs may not be for me. I'm not mechanically inclined and have zero electrical knowledge. I'm afraid now that I may get an MEP that either has or develops issues that I can't fix and I would have no local...- Olympus

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to consider other options. Worried about buying an MEP unit and having problems with it. I'm not much of a mechanic and don't know if anyone in my area could even work on one. At least with the Kubota engine, I know I could at least get service at a dealership...- Olympus

Does anyone know anything about those 7KW Kubota generator/light towers? They look to be military. They are built inside a paneled trailer with 4 wheels. The trailer is not meant for being pulled on the road though. Here is one local to me: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/grd/4625596265.html...- Olympus

I want to say my AC is on a 40 amp breaker, but not completely sure. Out of town for the weekend or I'd go check.- Olympus

My gas unit is 3500W and I've never tried it for my air. I've always been told it's too small so I've never tried.- Olympus

Again, I'd really rather not pay an extra $1000 for a 003 considering how little it will get used. I was hoping the 002 would be enough.- Olympus

That's what I'm talking about. Having no load on the unit except for the a/c.- Olympus

I knew the 003 would run the air. I just don't know about the 002. I'd prefer to save money and go with the 002 if possible.- Olympus

My unit is 12 years old. The data sticker is completely faded and I can't make anything out on it.- Olympus

New member here and I'm getting close to purchasing a MEP genny as a backup. I currently have a gas powered residential screamer. I'm looking to switch to diesel for sure, leaning toward the MEPs as opposed to the 3600rpm diesel units. I keep 100 gallons of diesel on hand at all times with...- Olympus
