Diesel, propane, natural gas, and gasoline each have different energy densities and efficiencies, so a generator rated for 10 kW on natural gas might only deliver 8 kW on propane. Running a diesel unit at full load gives you the highest output, but you'll also notice the exhaust temperature and runtime change with fuel quality. It's not just the fuel's BTU content—altitude and engine tuning also affect t…
