Great input on MEP-002 fuel consumption Thanks for the great input on the MEP-002 fuel consumption - I have three of these units and plan to build them for diesel customers. My business is helping off-grid customers run their homes and I use mil-tech when possible due to the quality. So my...

for heating yes, but for genset run it works ok yes, and when using for heating fuel the energy content matters more but when running a genset it is gallons per hours and generators are 30%-35% or so efficient - a 5-10kw unit of either type run about .75-1.5 gallons per hour - so run time...

oh yeah, the cost is important as well You did not mention that 200 gallons of propane would be roughly $400 delivered and the same amount of diesel would be roughly $800 plus delivery (so if you made four trips with the pickup and a 55 gallon drum) your cost for 200 gallons of diesel would be...
