Additional Considerations For Generator Engines

Along with engine size and fuel type, consider the following when choosing a generator engine.

• Working environment. Differing applications may require specific engine characteristics; for example, a marine generator engine must withstand extreme heat, dampness, and other taxing conditions
• Manufacturer. Caterpillar, Cummins, and Kubota are just some of the many reputable generator engine manufacturers
• Maintenance. Determine the cost and level of ongoing engine maintenance required
• Availability. Note the availability and cost of replacement parts
• Starting method. Match the generator’s electric or recoil starting mechanism to your preference
