Heat Awareness and Powering Your Air Conditioner

Did you know that heat is a leading weather-related killer in the United States? Hundreds of people die due to heat-related illnesses every year, many of which occur with just a short period of exposure

Adding Turbo to Diesel Generators

Why Turbocharge Generators

If you have ever tried to exert yourself at elevation, you should have noticed that you become out of breath more quickly. It is because the oxygen density of the air you breathe decreases as you go higher in elevation. A similar thing happens to an engine. The higher the elevation, the less air and […]

Generator Oil Filters

Unmasking the Hidden Dangers of Generic Filters

We decided to examine various diesel engine oil and fuel filters by cutting them open. Our findings were quite astonishing.

In the realm of mechanical precision and engine maintenance, the saying “All filters are not the same” rings true with remarkable clarity. This became evident when we recently acquired a batch of supposedly compatible filters intended as replacements for the renowned Perkins filters. However, upon subjecting these filters to closer scrutiny by dissecting them, it became glaringly apparent that they bore little resemblance to their counterparts. The stark differences in construction, materials, and engineering were undeniable.

Air-cooled engine

Air-Cooled vs. Liquid-Cooled Engines: A Comprehensive Comparison

Since air-cooled engines have the potential to over-heat, using them full time is not recommended.

Air-cooled engines that fail generally require a major overhaul and their maintenance and repair tasks tend to be more frequent and more time consuming.
