turning old diesels into generators is such a good idea

Air cooled diesels are so awesome! Do you have one?

Yes the " injector" you are pointing at is infact the " pump" the injector is in the head.

I bought one of the water cooled listeroids out of India a few years back, brand new, I haven't started it yet but it looks well built. Air cooled would be easier, no coolant to mess with. I also got a few of the Chinese air cooled diesels which I think are pretty decent quality, as well as a couple of large Deutz V8 and V12 air cooled diesels. We have 480V grid power here but wanted to be more off grid capable with some solar panels and generators. The original plan was to use alternators like you're showing , but the inverter chargers actually have very good, programmable and accurate chargers built in so it seems better to generate 240 AC and then let the inverter charger do the charging. Though I'm sure the alternators can be made to work just fine.

That's cool as. ! I have a 3cyl lister air cooled as well . I'll make a 240v one for my dad. Then maybe me too to charge through my all in 1 inverters

@@Oneupthesleevecustoms The other cool thing some inverters can do is quickly switch between charging and discharging, so say you have a 4 kW generator and you're drawing 2kW , then the remaining 2kW goes into the batteries. But if your load goes up to 10kW then they will still draw 4kW from the generator and the inverter supplements the 6kW from the batteries. These little put put diesels are pretty easily bogged down they really work best with a steady load.
