It's a real gem. The last (and really long) run on it last winter really put a load on it. Ran out of fuel at 69 hours (about 50 gallons; apparently the pickup doesn't suck that last 10 gallons). Also highest fuel consumption. Normally, it had been running about 0.3 or less gph. Ran 2 heat pumps and clothes drier and hot water heater (all electric), too. Only allows those on if there's room on the generator. It was apparently running near full for those 69 hours in the cold.Ralph in Va
Before I created my system I researched all the gens out there and concluded that the Isuzu was in my opinion the best of the best.

Thing starts up with absolutely no clatter. You'd think it was a gasoline engine but for the 12 second delay to run the glow plugs and to circulate fuel. No smoke.
Puzzles me about Central Maine Diesel. Sent email, called and got computerized message and sent fax. No response. Luckily, I got the 3 filters back 9+ years ago to get the WIX/NAPA equivalents.
