Silent Diesel Generator

[EliAngwin]

My dad has one of these generators( not this brand specific) he had it on a drop deck semi trailer, the tie down strap broke and the geny rolled off and rolled down the road all most 1/4 mile on its wheels, caught some gravel and tumbled another 20-30 feet end over end. The machine only needed a new starter switch, after the starter switch was replaced it started right up.. and continues to run excellent.

It is from unburned fuel. Until the engine is at normal speed and the compression is what it should be, diesel fuel does not burn correctly. What you have left over is that smoke you see. Basically it is from low compression but goes away a second or two later.

@Fred6191 Fuel injectors and the pump are injecting a fixed amount of fuel into the combustion chamber. Until the motor is up to speed and the correct amount of air is also present, they blow smoke from the unburned fuel. After reaching the correct RPM for the amount of fuel injected, the smoke stops and the fuel burns correctly since it has enough air. If it was a vehicle and the throttle was making these fuel changes gradually then you would not have smoke from unburned fuel.

I am impressed by this generator actually. I've been needing one for my RV and the Onan Microquites are ultra expensive. This one is quite, it's diesel so it stands a high chance of lasting longer and shares the same fuel as my truck. I think it cool that is has two remote controls to start it plus the key and pull start. For $1600.00, not bad at all!

You should have someone next to the generator speaking so we could have some point of reference to the sound level.

What is the tank size, and roughly how long does it run on a fill up?
