1440 Hp. Diesel / Natural Gas Generator

Checkout this Ebay listing.
Diesel / Natural Gas Generator

The price is right but getting it home could be a problem.
The neighbors could pay me for electric. If I only had free gas, crane, and semi with trailer.

Your right the price isn't bad at all but you would need a crane and a big truck and a big old building to put it in.:blacksuit

Not to mention the monster air compressor system and storage tank you would need to start it. Kewl pictures though! Would be real interesting to see how it runs and observe a start up and switch over to natural gas. If it has been running off of natural gas, the engine will last a tremendously long time as it burns so clean and makes little to no contaminants to the oil or engine.

The price wasn't that good, he didn't sell it. Probably cost several thousand $$ to dismantle and haul it to where ever and reassemble it.
