I live in northern West Virginia and we have been without power since Friday evening. When I bought this house in the country I purchased an Aurora 6500 watt silent diesel (5kw continuous) and we've really been putting the hours on it. Had to do the 25 hour break-in maintenance and put in synthetic oil, adjust the valves, and check the torque on the cylinder head nut bolts. It's going great now with over 50 hours on it. Our power should be back on sometime between Friday and Sunday.
We get as they advertise about 12 hours for 4 gallons of fuel. It's been a little expensive keeping diesel in it but it works great. It's air cooled, so we run it for 5 hours then let it stay off for the few hotter hours mid-day and then turn it back on in the evening. Does a nice job for us.
