14 Recommendations To Save Fuel Using A Diesel Generator

Diesel generators are essential for many industries, shops, services and businesses. However, many users must learn how to optimize fuel use in their diesel generators. Using the correct fuel and keeping the device running at the proper settings can significantly affect your generator’s power-producing operation costs.

In this article, we will detail the aspects on which fuel savings depend on the operation of your diesel generator.

Common mistakes using a diesel power generator.

In other articles on our blog, we have analyzed how useful diesel power generators are in supplying electricity in industrial, commercial, health, emergency care, military operations, and home applications. However, users make many very common mistakes (more than we would like) when using a diesel power generator. These errors can result in decreased generator efficiency, increased usage costs, increased risk of personal injury and property damage, and decreased generator life.

In this article, we will look at what you should not do with your diesel power generator.

Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Diesel Generators: Strategies and Technologies

Now, in the 21st century, concern is increasing and widespread in relation to climate change and its catastrophic consequences for life on earth.

Climate change is no longer a distant and foreign news that happens somewhere unknown that does not affect us. Now climate change is present in our daily lives. It is a cause for concern for us and our loved ones and puts everything that is important in our lives at risk.

But what about climate change and diesel power generators? What is the impact on the environment of these important appliances for our productive and family life? Here in this article we are going to help you understand this important current topic.

oil for power generator

What is the best oil for my power generator?

As you can read in your generator manual, you should perform regular maintenance checks to ensure that your backup power source is always reliably available.
One of the most important aspects of regular generator maintenance is inspecting the oil.

It often happens, as with any engine, that after a period of use, the generator oil can become dirty, muddy and lose its properties, which can prevent your generator from operating in optimal conditions and even cause long-term damage.

Using the wrong oil can be very harmful, not only to your generator, but also to those operating around the machine.

marine generators

Are marine generators different from other power generators?

Are marine generators different from the generators used for industrial purposes, commerce or for home? What makes them different? Why are they in fact different? These are all common questions that we receive from our customers, especially new boat owners, who just bought a boat and want to equip it with a power generator to increases their comfort and their autonomy at sea.

In this article we will delve into this topic by analyzing why a marine generator is a unique piece of engineering that is different from its terrestrial counterparts.

generator preventive maintenance

The importance of a generator preventive maintenance

A power generator is the backbone of your industrial facility, business, or home in the event of a power outage. It’s important to make sure your facility has proper preventative maintenance to avoid the occurrence of potential failures at the time of greatest need.

In this article we will explain the importance of a generator preventive maintenance, how to do correct preventive maintenance on your generator and what to do if your generator fails in a time of need.
