[Vwdiesel] I'm on the ladder aren't you?

Yes they do. So instead of running it on five dollar bills I could run it on
ten dollar bills cut in half.  It would still need to be fed lots of money
to run.

Last time I ran that plant it was consuming 3-1/2 gallons IMP of gasoline an
hour to make the nameplate load. That's almost sixteen litres an hour!  I
seem to recall that it would cost about $300.00 a day to run that bugger
just for fuel.  Not an option for home emergency use IMO.
