Just for giggles I followed that link and looked around a bit. The 8Kw diesel unit they have there shows 3.6L/hr fuel consumption at 1500rpm.

Indeed... please keep us posted. Do you use a battery tender/trickle charger, etc?

How long have you had those in sir?

I was a huge fan of Iron Mike in his early days, before he went off the deep end. But to your point... make dry runs... walk through the process and SOP... then do it with someone smacking you with a fly swatter or something. I'm on the path to attain one of these units in the next few...

Thanks for all the battery info guys! Can anyone verify that there is NOT an extra 1.7" of room in the battery compartment/tray for a Group 35/85 battery? Specs of L, W, H for 35/85 are 9.1L, 6.9W, 8.9H versus the Group 51R sizing of 9.4L, 5.1W, 8.8H. It seems there are some very capable...
