Benefits of Using Diesel-Powered Generators
If you’re in the market for a new generator you will have noticed there are various fuel types to choose from.
Natural gas, gasoline, biodiesel, and diesel are all popular choices, and each has its individual pros and cons.
The GL7000 is a diesel-powered generator. This offers multiple benefits.
When using any tools and heavy-duty equipment, reliability is always high up on the checklist. Diesel is typically the fuel of choice for first-responders and other emergency services due to being the most reliable fuel source.
Safety is also a crucial consideration. Diesel doesn’t use spark plugs like a gas engine, and the fuel is less flammable.
Diesel engines and machinery requires less maintenance than other fuel types. They don’t use wires or spark plugs, so there are fewer parts to check and lower costs.
This model comes with a large capacity oil pan. Meaning oil change intervals up to 200 hours.
Diesel engines have a much longer life expectancy than a gas engine. You will typically pay more upfront, but when worked out across the life of the generator it will work out less expensive.
Taking into account the cost savings over the life of a diesel generator, the more you use it the better return you get on your investment.
This usually makes them a better choice for commercial uses. Although, due to being more reliable and requiring less maintenance, they’re also a popular choice for residential uses.
