Benefits of Diesel Generators

Long Lasting --- Orangetown Diesel Generators are more rugged and reliable. Consider the 18 wheeler trucks capable of 1,000,000 miles of operation before major service. Most trucks are diesel powered.

The only maintenance generally required is changing the oil, and changing the fuel, air and oil filters. (This is the same as a gas engine.) Gas units burn hotter than diesel units, and hence they have a significantly shorter life compared with diesel units. No sparking as the fuel auto-ignites. The nonexistence of spark plugs or spark wires decreases maintenance costs.

If you know how to care for a gas engine, you can service a diesel. A diesel 1800 rpm water cooled unit operates for 12,000 to 30,000 hours before major maintenance is required. No carburetor adjustments, no distributor or magneto to burn out, and no spark plugs to need periodic cleaning and replacement. Oil changes done on schedule are critical and make the difference between an engine that wears out prematurely and one that runs long term. Diesel Generators are More Reliable

The Orangetown generator features a brushless design and automatic voltage regulation for reliable power. The generating set is designed to run continuously or as a back up power supply so you can have confidence for short term and long term power outages that may last weeks.. Diesels are simpler in design and construction than gas engines so they are easier to maintain and have less opportunities for failure.
