top it off with red diesel.
How much is red going for nowadays in your neck of the woods?
I saw some delivery tickets as high as 4 dollars a gallon.
depending on how much your genny is slurping, diesel can get real expensive real fast.

65kW MQ Whisperwatt 70. It’s only slight overkill.
Brought it home from work when we got power back on there- it’s turning out to be a giant pain in the arse.

I just ordered a 30kw Cummings Onan water cooled whole home genny.
I’m rocking a 6.5kw Generac portable but we got power back Saturday so not using it at the moment.

Generac 22kw. Runs perfectly. Neighbors brand new Cummins crapped out day one. Was throwing all Kinds of codes. Tech came out and found
Metal shavings all in the oil. Will be covered under warranty. Only had 3 hours on it.

2200i craftsman/Generac. It was great for tools during muck out of my garage, carport, and deck. Took 3.5 days to do that and clean fridges, freezers, streets and docks with firehose. No AC, slept by a window.
Next storm I will have a small AC in a sleeping area.
I like the poratbility of the 2200, but it was a little small for a full size (hotel) icemaker.

Any word on Westinghouse? Looking hard at the 9,500 dual fuel
This is the unit I have. I like it a lot, and love the electric-remote start/stop feature. Does decent on fuel depending on the load. Ran my entire house with 3ton central unit, but I do have a soft start for it.
Only complaint other then being a heavy sob, is it isn’t as quiet as some of the others. For the price it’s hard to beat.

Where are you finding the predator 3000 in stock?
Posted on 9/9/21 at 11:45 pm to TDsngumbo
Any idea where to find a tri fuel Firman in stock?
Posted on 9/10/21 at 1:57 am to TDsngumbo
A heavy one... it's in a small garden trailer...

How does Predator compare to Champion?

I picked up that same Firman duel fuel 9000/7500 at Lowe’s the Friday before the storm. It was from last years stock and the box was beat to shite. Picked it up for $800, with 5% off using my Lowe’s cc and got 6 months interest free.
Took it out the box and it was totally fine, couple scratches on the frame, that’s it.
Changed the oil twice, once after the break-in period and at 100 hours. Ran it for 188hrs, worked great. They had a ton of those Craftsman 4500, which everyone was buying, and the one Firman. I still had my Troybilt 5.5 from Katrina, but wanted something with more power. I lucked out, timing is everything

Well done on keeping the oil changed.

My theory on generac whole home’s is that EVERYONE has them. This leads to a few things:
People don’t know how or just don’t maintain them
NG supply is an issue
The sample size is huge
They don’t know how to operate them
quote:
One guy was bitching to me today about how he knew someone that had a brand new one and it failed. I asked if it was maintained. They said it was brand new. I said yes, so did they change the oil after break in and at the proper intervals after that? “No”. Well………….
pretty much the issue 99% of the time...well that and people think they can put a 22kw on a house that really needs about 30kw and they can live like nothing ever happened. Running Central AC, microwave, electric dryer while the wife is using the electric stove

I saw one walking to my office today (it’s next to a neighborhood) and they were running It without the side panel to keep it cool. You can’t do that. That’s not how it works. It has to be fully assembled so it can pull air across the engine. It being open is way worse.
thats not true. it will pull air across it no matter what. After laura I found my 20kw would run much better and not burn th circuit board in the stepping motor up if i kept front panel off and top open.
the 22kw are much better about this not happening due to the stepping motor housing being changed to a fully enclosed stainless housing design.
Everyone should try running it as designed, but if they start having problems with surging and getting overspeed error, very well could be the stepping motor getting too hot and need to keep it open and fan on it.
in the end though generac doesnt recommend the air cooled in our climate and in fact they derate after 77 degrees.
to answer OP, have a 9 year old generac 20kw guardian. After Laura it ran for 5 weeks, 4 days. Had a couple issues but nothing we couldnt work through. We babied it the whole time and it was a fricking life saver.
new home will be getting a 40kw liquid cooled installed before next hurricane season.
