[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 357467, member: 4012"] The Chinese gensets are notorious for fuel leaks as they age - mine only lasted one season of very moderate use. At only $899 retail (including GST) for a 2.4kVA, that Crommelins genny is bound to be a Chinese unit, no matter how good their brandname has been in the past. Another alternative is to run a matched pair of 2kVA gensets in parallel, doubling the available output power (not the voltage). Honda make a lead especially for this and I have an idea Yamaha also do one. Two lighter-weight machines are easier to manage than a single gutbuster and when the weather isn't too hot, you might only need to use one of them. Here's more info on YouTube, about people using this approach: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2B4Vvz9Xqw[/url] [/QUOTE]
