[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 3266097, member: 23604"] Iron Man, I feel your pain..I was working in Longmeadow during that last storm and it was a bite in the butt! At home I was running on generator for 6 days and 20 hours. I have an old 5KW Generac unit powered by an 11 hp Briggs & Stratton. I burned about 8 gallons of gasoline a day. The diesel units I have used really just sip fuel however, they tend to be heavy and challenging to start in the cold. Electric start or a compression release is imperative. The cheapest way out would probably be a surplus military unit or something used (read-- Craigslist). The tow-behind portable lighting units they use at job sites typically have 6KW generators powered by a Kubota diesel. Good luck with your search! [/QUOTE]
