Thanks. I'd take any info you can get. I glanced at the Onan website, and it looks very interesting.
PS: Do you know if these generators can accomodate external fuel tanks? To be a true survivalist/anti-establishmentarian, it seems like you'd need something on the order of a 500 or 1000 gallon external diesel tank. Plus, it would be nice, for fire and/or explosive reasons, to separate the tank off into its own explosive chamber [with, say, a wall that was heavily fortified in the direction of your living structure, but lightly fortified in the direction away from your living structure, so that any potential explosion would be directed away from you]. Furthermore, with an external fuel tank, if you did get a fire, it could [at least hopefully] be contained within the generator itself, and wouldn't [necessarily] cause the tank to also go ka-boom.
Our generators have external fuel supply connectors. We use either 55 gallon drums, fuel bladders, or 600 gallon trailers. It's just a simple hose connection so you can use pretty much any type of supply tank. It's best to have gravity helping you out because the transfer pump is pretty small.
I'll try do remember to look up this post when I get back around the 20th of August. If I forget you can Freepmail me.
