Hi,
Just wondering what the groups views are on the small modern diesels coming out of the Sumtom Power Company Co Ltd in China are. Plenty of badged, small (3-5kVA), diesel powered generators on the market that all appear to use the same engine range. I guess spares 5 years down the line might be fun but:
1) The factory and company are fairly modern (late 90's) and China is rapidly catching on to the fact the world market exists and needs to produce quality products to compete.2) The generator will only have light use, so even a half decent engine is not likely to wear out.
