Lemme repeat what I've said in other threads on the topic, and for anyone watching the news lately on FL.

Ya ever notice, after a disaster, there ALWAYS seem to be these guys in these green trucks with green baggy clothes? They nearly always have #2 diesel with them.

Next thing is... Gens are only as good as your maintenance program, which includes regular, monitored, exercise. Leaving a NG genset to fend for itself with automatic exercise and it will fail you. Diesel is a lubricant and prone to less of these such failures.
