Advantages of Using Diesel Powered Generators
There are many types of generators on the market. The most common fuel types being natural gas, gasoline, biodiesel, and diesel.
Diesel models, such as the GL11000, are fast becoming the most popular choice when it comes to deciding on a fuel type to power a generator.
There are a few reasons for this. Some of the main advantages diesel has over other fuel types are (click on each tab):
Diesel scores high on efficiency and cost. To clarify, diesel typically costs more than gas, but it has a higher energy density and will generate more power than a gas generator for the same volume.
Meaning it’s more cost-efficient to run. The more you use your generator over time, the more money you’ll save compared to a gas-operated unit.
Diesel generators are known for holding a steady power supply. This is why they are the preferred choice for construction sites and more importantly establishments such as hospitals and other emergency services that rely on a constant power supply.
A diesel engine does not use spark plugs or wires. This reduces maintenance costs.
Diesel generators and diesel motors in general have a longer lifespan than gas engines. Giving you a greater return on investment the longer you use it.
They are also considered to be safer than gas-powered generators. Diesel is less flammable than other fuels, and because they do not use spark plugs the risk of a fire is greatly reduced.
