[QUOTE="backcreek, post: 71196, member: 277"] Hay Stevo, Last weekend I had the opportunity to use a Kipor series 2 gs2000 2kw generator I borrowed from a mate. He bought it to power his caravan when roughing it and has since found that he can run his van on inverter battery power charged with a solar panel so I have the option of buying it from him. Prior to borrowing the generator it only had a couple of hours run time on it. I used it to power 2 submersible pumps with the outlets joined through a "Y" to supply water to my highbanker similar to Blaxy's set up in some of his youtube clips. 1 pump is 250 watt the other is 550 watt It ran flawlessly for about 8 hours all up, nice and quiet, although not as quiet as running the submersible with an inverter and a battery as I normally do. It is very fuel efficient, I think it used about 2 or 3 litres. All in all I was very happy with it the only issue I had is the weight. At 22 kg it's a bit to lug around and I could probably get away with a 1 kw generator which cuts the weight down to 14kg. Hope this helps with your decision making. Cheers Mick [/QUOTE]
