]]> Comment on Propane Generators – Propane Powered Generator by technoid http://www.emergencypower.com/propane-generators/comment-page-1/#comment-17 technoid Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:01:21 +0000 http://www.emergencypower.com/?p=427#comment-17 I tend to disagree with some of the points made by the author on propane run engines. I worked as a genset tech for many years. Propane fueled engines burn clean. They can be run indoors without the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. Forklifts used in warehouses run on propane. Propane is also used for gensets located in areas where the storage of gasoline or diesel is prohibited. Beach locations are a common place for propane gas gensets. An accidental spill of gasoline or diesel would be disastrous to the drinking water aquifer. Propane tanks are always located a safe distance away from the gensets. The gas lines are always routed outdoors. Methanol is mixed with the gas during cold weather use to prevent regulator freeze ups. Most accidents occur from poor installation, wrong regulators, or non-existing safety inspections. I do agree that your engine will use more fuel with less power on propane. I would not convert a diesel to run on propane. Gasoline engines are more suited for propane use. The engine oil stays clean far longer running on propane than on gasoline. We had units that ran for years on propane with out any major engine problems. I tend to disagree with some of the points made by the author on propane run engines.

The blast was felt for miles. All three district fire stations in Middletown responded to the scene, and Urban Search and Rescue was being dispatched Sunday. The plant’s general manager, Gordon Holk, told CNN that the blast was responsible for casualties, but he did not provide a figure. Fire and police officials in Middletown estimated that there were indeed “mass casualties,” but no other details were immediately available, said CNN. The explosion took place at NRG Power Plant on River Road. According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state. The plant uses natural gas oil and ultra low-sulfur distillate fuel. Reached by phone, plant general manger Gordon Holk told NBC CT he was enroute to the plant, and did want to speculate on the number of injured. He said the plant is a 620 megawatt gas-fired power plant. Reports are saying that the blast could be felt as far away as Durham. Police are advising residents to stay in their homes.

No company can keep 100% of the customers satisfied, but failure to respond to complaints and having dozens and dozens of them are not a good sign.
