I'm considering adding a diesel generator to my backup options. I keep a supply of diesel on hand.
My concern is if there are any issues with these and how well they might work in cold temperatures?
I currently have a propane, portable generator that I run off of BBQ tanks. It is okay but I wish it had an electric start and I cannot tell the fuel level.
My primary goal for my next generator would be for use in the winter, so I can supply heat in the home. I would like to get something with electric start, just in case the wife needs to start it.
(Not looking for a standby unit like Generac - can't justify the $8k+ price tag for the entire project)
