    Gas vs. Diesel for Power Generators

    There is a great deal of debate when it
    comes to which is the optimal ground power unit for
    heavy machinery, like airplanes, trains and construction equipment. Which is
    better? Gas or diesel generators? Both have their merits, and both offer a good
    deal of energy. So which one do you use?
    After this brief guide from StartPac, you may find it hard to decide which
    one is the best one for you and your business.
               
    Gas
    Generators
    The biggest advantage to using a gas
    electric hybrid GPU is that you’re burning a cleaner fuel, which is as
    efficient as diesel and sometimes less expensive. Natural gas is one of the
    cleanest burning substances around, and it’s already available in most major
    cities. It can be difficult, however, to get fuel into rural areas. Especially
    if there is no source of fuel close to the project site/airfield.
    That said, natural gas is also reliant on
    the flow of gas. In a natural disaster, it may be difficult or nearly
    impossible for these kinds of generators to run for very long.
    Diesel
    Generators
    A diesel electric hybrid GPU is slightly more
    expensive than using natural gas, but still one of the most affordable and
    efficient fuels available. Diesel is also extremely reliable, and can supply
    steady power for longer periods of time. Because they don’t require wiring or
    spark plugs, diesel generators also need less maintenance to work.

    However, they do tend to carry a higher
    upfront cost thanks to all that reliability. The good news is that reduced
    maintenance costs do help to make up for that price tag.
