Hi all, this is asked concerning a 15KW generator MEP004A, powered by a
White 4 cyl water cooled diesel. Fuel is #2 home heating oil with about 10%
kerosene (off road use!!!). Generator is run for about 30 to 60 minutes,
once or twice a month regularly. Maybe once or twice a year it will be put
into service during a power outage, from 2 to 12 hours. So total yearly
usage is under 50 hours, often under 25 hours. How often would you change
1)oil and filters 2) coolant 3) fuel filters under these conditions? Also,
is it necessary or helpful to add a coolant additive? Thanks in advance,
members of this list are a fantastic group. God bless! Gene
