Here Are the Top 5 Reasons"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Why Use a Diesel Generator? Here Are the Top 5 Reasons &#8211; <\/strong>The two most common options when it comes to generator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloroilco.com\/Products-Services\/Fuels\">fuel<\/a> are gasoline and diesel. Both are dependable and readily available, and they both generate low emissions and provide on-demand power. But due to the differences between gasoline and diesel generators, they are each ideal for specific applications.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to buy a prime or standby generator, here are the top reasons why you should consider a diesel generator.<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Safety<\/h2>\n<p>Diesel, not as flammable as gasoline, is the safer option. A diesel generator is a good option for businesses that handle chemicals and combustible products because it\u2019s less explosive and has a lower risk of accidental ignition.<\/p>\n<p>Do you plan on storing your generator in an area featuring many heat sources? Consider that diesel fuel has a longer shelf life than gas so you can store more fuel for everyday use as well as emergencies.<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fuel Consumption<\/h2>\n<p>Diesel generators, more efficient than gasoline generators, don&#8217;t burn as much fuel in order to produce power. In addition, they have a high compression rate. So, if you want a cost-efficient and bottom line-boosting option as a business owner, diesel is what you should choose.<\/p>\n<h2>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maintenance and Lifespan<\/h2>\n<p>When you crave minimal maintenance, choose a diesel generator because it does not have spark plugs and carburetors that require occasional replacement and extensive maintenance. Less maintenance = less time, money and effort.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, diesel generators have a longer lifespan, so you get a higher return on investment. That\u2019s because the engine burns cooler and the components don\u2019t wear as quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Application<\/h2>\n<p>Gasoline generators, best for infrequent use and low-load applications, are good choices for a backup in homes because they are less noisy, don\u2019t have smelly fumes, are less expensive, and come in a variety of models and features.<\/p>\n<p>If you need significant power, however, a diesel generator is necessary to handle heavy-duty tasks. Diesel engines, the workhorses of the generator world, can withstand larger loads for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>Diesel generators act as strong standby generators in emergency situations. The competition for gas is much higher in emergencies for gas, as most vehicles and equipment use it. But diesel is more readily available in times of crisis due to lesser demand and longer shelf life.<\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Noise Level<\/h2>\n<p>Gasoline engines are certainly quieter than diesel engines, but there have been many recent advances in technology that have led to the manufacture of quieter diesel engines.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Taylor Oil<\/h2>\n<p>Look to us for on-site and mobile fueling for gas and diesel generators, trucks and other equipment.
