Sir;
Can you please be plain, I asked you a civil question, and you give a
snotty answer. Do you know anything at all about generators? If so,
please advise just what is wrong with the generator. You don't even
know what brand it is, do you.
If you don't know shit, keep your mouth shut...

Umm, are you talking to me or someone else?
And if me, I suggest that you increase your medication.

NG may be expensive to just sit there hooked up and ready to go 24/7 x 365
per year. We pay about $0 per month to just look at it and then add usage
after.
If you intend on getting it connected and running during a disaster I would
think again.
Has he thought of how much it is going to cost per hour of operation, or
does it make any differance to him ? If cost is no object that is fine.
Also if using other fuels than the NG, does he intend on storing the other
fuel and how much storage capacity is he going to have ?
I don't know the cost for NG but anyting you get over about 5 KW the cost
factor goes way up due to the ammount of fuel used.
