Power generators have engines that run on different fuels: Petrol, Diesel, Gas.

 

 Types of fuels in generators

Diesel

The most popular generator fuel on the market is diesel powering generators with compression-ignition engines. This fuel is characterised by easy availability on the market, a fairly long storage period and relatively low consumption during the generator operation to produce electricity. The cost of purchasing a diesel engine generator is higher than for petrol engines. However, the amount of fuel needed to work and produce energy for one engine hour can be much more satisfactory. In addition, an important advantage is the fact that fuel itself is a fairly solid liquid and, contrary to appearances, it is not so easy to ignite it. This is of great importance in the context of storage safety..

Petrol

The second popular fuel for powering generators is petrol, used in models equipped with petrol engines. This fuel is usually used to power generators with relatively low power, mostly as an emergency power source in single-family homes or for power tools used by repair and construction crews. The cost of buying petrol engine generators is much cheaper.

Gas

Another type of fuel is  gas. This can be CNG, common LPG (propane-butane) or biogas obtained from the processing of various types of components. A gas-powered generator is the most expensive option, but has the lowest cost of fuel. A key aspect is also the fact that it is the most eco-friendly version. However, it is important to ensure proper composition of the gas itself and the pressure under which it is supplied.

According to the above analysis, each solution has its pros and cons. We encourage you to contact our technical sales consultants, who take into account the individual needs and expectations of customers to help you choose the most optimal solution.
