[QUOTE="Simon, post: 2804167, member: 20159"] If you only need 6500KW, an Onan on propane will work extremely well. I ran one for 14 years as needed and only changed the oil about every 2 years. Never had any trouble with it, but it was not automatic switch, I had to start the gen when needed. I have a Genrac 2200 Kw now, that is water cooled, run by a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engine. I have not had any trouble with it and it is about 6 years old. I am about to change the antifreeze in it and that may give me some trouble. One thing you should know is that all of them need more space under them than most installers leave in order to get under them to change the oil. I use a dipstick oil pump to change my Genrac and would have liked to just drain the oil into a pan. . . [/QUOTE]
