First off I'd recommend AGAINST gasoline....it's too dangerous and too
expensive. I'd say go with Diesel.
About a year ago I put an "auxilliary power unit" on my truck. Luckily this
was before the "other" energy crisis. (the cost of diesel doubled
recently....it's now on the decline).......My $7,000 power unit has paid for
itself in less than a year.
My preference for diesel is that it's safer...(the fuel is much less
explosive)..and it's MUCH more economical (to use) than gasoline....and if a
small diesel engine follows the example of it's big brothers it will outlast
a gasoline engine by orders of magnitude...
They cost more to purchase though...mine cost about 7K.....this is a truck
specific unit but I would imagine that "fixed plant" units would cost
somewhere in the same ball park.
