Return To Generators Article Archive   Why Choose A Disesel Generator For The Hurricane Season By David Isserman Diesel engine generators can offer you more benefits than a gasoline powered generator. While they can be slightly more expensive than gasoline generators, diesel generators usually offer a long lifespan and more efficiency. Below you will find some additional information about what diesel generators can offer for your home, business, construction site or farm. Why can diesel generators offer a better choice? - Longevity – diesel generators usually offer a longer lifespan - Lower costs – diesel generators usually offer a lower fuel consumption rate, which saves you money - Lower cost to maintain – diesel generators usually offer more reliable engines - Quietness – diesel generators can often times be quieter than other types of generators Diesel generators offer reliability over gasoline generators. Many times, diesel generators can operate more than 10,000 hours without requiring any maintenance. Because the fuel burns at a lower level than a gasoline generator, there is less wear and tear on diesel powered generators. Here is a breakdown of maintenance requirements for typical diesel and gasoline powered generators: - 1800 rpm water cooled diesel units can usually operate on average 12-30,000 hours before requiring major maintenance - 1800 rpm water cooled gas units can usually operate 6-10,000 hours before requiring major maintenance. These units are built on a lighter duty gasoline engine block. - 3600 rpm air-cooled gas units are usually replaced – not overhauled after 500 to 1500 hours of operation As you can see from the information above, diesel generators offer a significantly longer lifespan, less maintenance, and more reliability and a gasoline powered generator.
