Can you say Cha-Ching?? And then you have to store another kind of fuel and worry about water, fungus in the fuel(seen it), maintenance of another kind of motor.a diesel low rpm power plant is the way to go
Pick a fuel, buy good storage, rotate the stock if you pick gas with ethanol in it, and spend the money saved on more guns and ammo. If you can afford all of the above by all means go Diesel.
Some have Diesel tractors around and gen kits for them are great, $$$ but you already have the Diesel.
My house in Maine already has 3 large pigs out back for propane everything in the house. Propane gen. and a few more pigs as I can afford is my best option.
Gas is more available, gen. is generally more portable, Makes it easily used for other things. Storage of fuel is horrible if you can't get ethanol free gas. Easier to rotate stock however.
Different solutions for different people. Just do something!!!! I can't wait to buy a home here in Tenn. so I can begin prepping! Feel naked in this apartment clinging to my guns!
